There are different types of cheese available around the world. Here’s a Tastessence article that gives you cheese types list according to various textures.
“A cheese may disappoint. It may be dull, it may be naive, it may be over-sophisticated. Yet it remains, cheese, milk’s leap toward immortality.”
― Clifton Fadiman, American writer and editor; New Yorker book reviewer
Available in a wide range of textures, flavors, colors, sizes, shapes, and forms, cheese is produced from milk. Many cultures around the world use either the milk of cows, buffalo, goats, donkey, camel, sheep, yak, or reindeer.
In order to compile a list, we decided to take divide the cheeses into 4 texture categories―hard, semi-hard, semi-soft, and soft. Keeping that in mind, go through the rest of the article to find more information.
There are so many flavors around us that influence the taste, texture, and color of the cheese. We are all familiar with Ricotta, Pepper Jack, American Swiss, and Mozzarella cheese. But there are different types of cheese that not everyone is aware of. Take a look.
