French Cheese

We might not know it but cheese originated in Mesopotomia, our modern day Iraq, some 5,000 years ago. Since then, cheese has been a very important food to most modern cultures. The French considers cheese as a traditional food. In fact there are over 400 cheeses that are made in France.

What makes the cheeses distinct from one another is their flavor and texture. There are hard and soft cheeses. There are also mild to powerful tasting cheeses. French cheeses are made from either cow or goat milk or a combination of both. Regardless of their differences, French cheese is simply the best in the world.

French cheeses come from different regions in the country. Each region has its distinct cheese. The cheese called Camembert comes from Normandy, while Alsace is popular for its Munster cheese. The area of Paris is popular for its Brie while the Alpine region claims as its specialty the Reblochon and Beaumont cheeses. Because of the cheese of France, it has earned its reputation as a haven for cheese lovers. Agreeably, tourists flock to the country not only because of its beautiful scenery but also because of its cheeses.
