Reading: Cheese Around the World

Cheese is one of the most popular foods around the world, and every country seems to have its own unique type. From the mild and creamy mozzarella of Italy to the sharp and flavorful cheddar from England, cheese comes in many varieties and flavors.

In Greece, people love feta cheese, a crumbly and salty cheese that’s often used in salads. In France, soft cheeses like Brie and Camembert are very popular, while in the Netherlands, Gouda is a favorite for its mild and smooth taste.

Some people enjoy stronger cheeses like blue cheese, which has a bold flavor and is often paired with fruits or nuts. Parmesan cheese, another strong cheese, is often grated over pasta dishes for extra flavor. Goat cheese is a tangy option that can be used in many recipes, from salads to appetizers.

Cheese can be enjoyed in many ways: melted on pizza, added to sandwiches, or served on a cheese platter with crackers and fruit. Whether you like mild cheeses or prefer stronger varieties, there is a cheese for everyone to enjoy.
