what is and how many cheese names are they?

Answer 1

There are literally thousands of cheeses and even a great cheese store like Murray's Cheese Shop on Bleeker St [ hint ] in my hometown of NYC will only carry about 300 varieties.
The first thing that distinguishes one from another is the kind of milk used
Cow:
Any of the boring cheeses from Wisconsin but also some great cheeses like Cabot's of Vermont Cheddar. After tasting the Cabot you will never eat the yellow stuff again
Sheep:
The great Italian grating hard cheese called Pecorino Romano and the
Roquefort which is of course the classic French blue cheese
Goat milk:
In addition to the yuppie fromage de jour -goat cheese- , goats milk is also used to make great Greek Feta cheese .Greek law also allows a mixture of sheep an goat milk to be used . However Greek law does not allow the use of cow's milk for feta.
Water Buffalo :
The fresh Italian mozzarella
Cheeses are also classified by how physically hard they are
A hard cheese would be something like the aforementioned Pecorino Romano or the Parmesan's
A semi hard cheese such as the Cabot cheddar or the Roquefort and a provolone would also fall into that category
A soft cheese would be the American which is made with milk and your supermarket variety of mozzarella
Lastly there are the soft cheeses.
Cottage cheeses falls into that category as does ricotta and to a great degree the freshly made mozzarella's
Notice that as the cheese gets harder and drier it's flavor becomes more intense .
So if you want to look up cheeses you can look them up by :
Country of origin
The type of milk used
Degree of hardness
Ultimatley making cheese allowed the farmer to preserve the food that he and his family worked so hard to produce. Milk will only last for a very short time but cheese can last for years.

Gouda (love it) Brick, Gruyere, Swiss, Brie, Camembert, Port Wine, Cheddar, Monteray Jack, Colby, Colby Jack, Provolone, Mozzarella, Pepper Jack, Feta, Blue Cheese, Stilton (an excellent blue), Cottage Cheese, Cream Cheese,Ricotta, Muenster, Roquefort, (another blue), Fontina, Romano, Parmesan, Sap Sago, Gorgonzola, Edam...I love cheese! Does that help?

Answer 3

Stilton, Gruyere, Emmenthaler, Havarti, Pecorino Romano, Parmesan Reggiano, Bleu Cheese, Gorgonzola,....really too many to mention here. I suggest going to the library and getting a book on the different cheeses of the world.

Answer 4

In the US or France or Italy or where? More info there are probably thousands of cheese names but I bet you like Velveeta best so why ask for all the names of cheeses.

Answer 5

Mmmmm did someone say CHEESES; Gouda, Havarti, sharp cheddar, mild Colby, Colby-jack, Munster, sharp American, ricotta, cottage, mozzarella, port-wine, white cheddar, bleu cheese, provolone, etc... I haven't met one except the smelly one that I don't like....
