What type of cheese are you?
I'm camembert ... a creamy, delicate tasting cheese. "You are refined and graceful and very organized. As a very insightful cheese, you like to ponder the meaning of life."

True, true. :)

1. I'm brie!
Edited on Thu Mar-24-05 06:18 PM by Lavender Brown
You are a cheese with a complex flavor. Your moods are affected by your current environments. You are sophisticated and mature but sometimes a little superstitious.

Brie is the best known French cheese and has a nickname "The Queen of Cheeses". Several hundred years ago, Brie was one of the tributes which had to be paid to the French kings. In France, Brie is very different from the cheese exported to the United States. "Real" French Brie is unstabilized and the flavor is complex when the surface turns slightly brown. When the cheese is still pure-white, it is not matured. If the cheese is cut before the maturing process is finished, it will never develop properly. Exported Brie, however, is stabilized and never matures. Stabilized Brie has a much longer shelf life and is not susceptible to bacteriological infections. Brie, one of the great dessert cheeses, comes as either a 1 or 2 kilogram wheel and is packed in a wooden box. In order to enjoy the taste fully, Brie must be served at room temperature. < Country: France || Milk: cow milk || Texture: soft || Recommended Wine: Bourgogne >

2. I am mozzarella
You are a shiny, soft, round cheese. You are very imaginative and creative, but you don't like to stand out. You don't mind solitude at times and you love to do art.



Well, I am rather round. :eyes:

5. I'm blue cheese.
You are blue cheese!
You are a soft, crumbly white blue-streaked cheese. You are very cool and mellow. You are very knowledgeable and wise and people come to you for advice and help.

Blue cheese is a white cheese with blue veins and a sometimes crumbly interior. This cheese usually has tangy, piquant, spicy and peppery flavor. Use in salad dressings with cream cheese for spreads.

Blue cheese - that's like saying you're a cheese made from milk.

29. Hmm
lets see.
The four typical blue cheeses I'd count are:
-Stilton : the British type, a spicy, chunky type; probably the archetypal "Blue cheese" in the English- Speaking world,

Gorgonzola: A somewhat less distinct flavor, but more creamy - can be more spicy.

Roquefort: the "king" of the blue cheeses: firmer, more spicy and finer than any other "big" blue cheese; unlike the others it is produced using sheep milk.

6. Parmesan!
You are parmesan cheese!
Parmesan Brothers

You are a white, crumbly cheese. You are very social and talkative. You are incredibly friendly to everyone, but also a little lazy.

Named after an area in Italy, Parma Parmesan is one of the world's most popular and widely-enjoyed cheeses. Milk used for Parmesan is heated and curdled in copper containers but not before most of the milk's cream has been separated and removed. Curd is cut and then heated to 125 degrees F, all the while stirring the curd to encourage whey runoff. The curd is further cooked at temperatures of up to 131 degrees F, then pressed in cheesecloth-lined moulds. After two days, the cheeses are removed and salted in brine for a month, then allowed to mature for up to two years in very humid conditions. < Country: Italy || Milk: cow milk || Texture: hard || Recommended Wine: Cabernet Sauvignon Pinot Noir >

9. I'm a mozzarella

"You are a shiny, soft, round cheese. You are very imaginative and creative, but you don't like to stand out. You don't mind solitude at times and you love to do art.

The plastic, spun-curd buffalo milk cheese Mozzarella, originated from southern Italy. Pasteurized milk is curdled at 90 degrees F and the curd is cut. Extra time in the vat is allowed so that the curd can sink to the bottom and so that the lactic acids can soften the curd to make it easier to knead. The curd is treated with extremely hot water (200 degrees F) and is kneaded into a shiny lump. Bits of the mass are taken off cooled salted and are soon ready to be marketed. < Country: Italy || Texture: soft >"



I had always suspected as much...

10. I am emmental cheese
You are a sweet-smelling, light-toned cheese with large holes. You are adventurous and love challenges. You are easily excited and sometimes even a little mischievous.

Emmental, also called emmenthaler, cheese is produced in the central cantons of Switzerland. It is a traditional, unpasteurized, hard cheese made from cow's milk. It's hard, thin rind is covered by paper with producer's name on it. The aroma is sweet with tones of fresh-cut hay. The flavor is very fruity, not without a tone of acidity. Emmental has walnut-sized holes. It is considered to be one of the most difficult cheeses to be produced because of it's complicated hole-forming fermentation process. The cheese tastes delicious with a glass of wine, for example Jura Blanc. < Country: Switzerland || Milk: cow milk || Texture: hard || Recommended Wine: Vin de Savoie Givry rully Mercurey >

13. PET GOAT CHEESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are a cheese of different shapes, sizes, and textures. You are dependable, generous, and modest. You want to please everyone, but sometimes you have trouble remembering yourself.

These cheeses are made from goat's milk. They come in many sizes and shapes, such as round patties, log-shapes, drum-shapes, pyramids, round loaves, long loaves etc.; their textures vary from soft, but firm like cream cheese to extremely hard. Chevres are excellent dessert cheeses, often served as snacks or before dinner drinks. Goat cheese is often served as an ingredient in many fine dishes.
