Cheese has been enjoyed for hundreds of years, but only recently has there been a resurgence, enhanced by new artisanal cheese producers from all over the world.

 

Here are the fifty best cheese classics and newcomers, listed alphabetically from 9 different countries.

 

  Country: Greece 
Feta Cheese

Feta
Greece
EU PDO

Pickled Cheese! Cheese making probably began in the Fertile Crescent, and eventually migrated to Western Europe, where it would achieve its true heights. Of course, on the way it had to pass through Eastern Europe, where there is still a tradition of simple cheeses like this one. True Greek Feta, made with sheep's milk, is a delightful balance of milk and salt, and a great way to spice up cuisine, or relax with some olives and a beer.

I had my first taste of Piave cheese on the recommendation of the owner of Romma Market in Pasadena N. Lake Ave. I was blown away.....I went back the next day and purchased 4 pounds. My wife and I are planning a trip to Italy just for the purpose of exploring cheese and wine. If you're ever in the Pasadena area, please visit this wonderful delightful market.

My all-time favorite cheese is Valio Mustaleima (Valio Blacklabel).. it's a very mature emmental. Very smelly and it "cries" a lot, the taste is mouth-watering. I've also heard that Finland has EU's healthiest milk, yum! http://jaakaappi.fi/static/images/tuotekuvat/6408430031276-i.jpg

You must list La Sauvagine, a fantastic washed rind cow's milk cheese from Quebec. It might be my favourite cheese of all.

Did you know that monks in Belgium not only made fantastic beers but excellent cheeses. This country has over 250 different cheeses. Worth looking into I suggest. Jeffrey
