and some recipes using the cheese...

Once you've unwrapped a cheese, the wrapping should be discarded and the cheese should be put in a new wrapping,

as reused materials won't reseal properly.

The main thing is to keep the cheese covered and moist, still able to breath, but without breathing so much that it dries out and cracks.

To accomplish this wrap the cheese tightly in aluminum foil, waxed paper or better plastic wrap.

Typically a hard cheese should be consumed within 20 - 30 days of purchase

and the softer varieties within 7 - 15 days (if properly stored at home).

A worldwide census of cheese

There are more than 5000 types of cheeses,

divided into 9 families, produced in the world.

  France produces the largest variety with over 1.000 cheeses - a count that could be higher if we include the cheese made by locals that we don’t know about.

  Italy produces around 450 varieties of cheese. England, more than 200.

  France, Italy, England, Spain and the USA are the largest farm cheese makers in the world.

  The USA is the largest producer of processed cheese, imitation cheese and reduced-fat and

fat-free cheese.
