How many types of cheese is in the world ?
Sorry to say, but this question is borderline impossible. Since cheeses need time to mold, if you mold a cheese like a month longer, that gives you a whole different cheese. It will be softer, stronger in taste. May be in the same family, but as far as same cheese, it doesn’t count. Basically there are thousands upon thousands of cheese. There are infinite possibilities that cheese could be. Not all of them are going taste amazing, but each and every one is different. Cheeses can be distinguished based on country of orgin, kind of milk used to produce(raw, skim, whole), texture (hard, soft, semi soft), the animal it came from (cow, camel, goat, sheep, horse) According to the rind, there are 7 types: 1. Fresh Cheeses: Banon, Ricotta, Feta, Cottage cheese, Cream cheese, etc… 2. Natural Rind: Sancerre, Chabichou, Crottin de Chavignol, etc… 3. Soft White Cheese: Camembert, Brie, Chevre Log, etc… 4. Semi-Soft: Edam, Pont L’Eveque, St Nectaire, Tomme de Savoie, Langres, Carre de L’Est,
