SEMI-HARD CHEESES Brick:
Country of Origin: USA Milk: Cows Milk Bricks roots lie in Wisconsin at the end of the 1800s. Its name perhaps derived from early moulding techniques, the pressing of the cheese with actual bricks. The cheese has a number of small and irregular holes and an open texture. It suggests a mixture of sweet, spicy, and nutty flavor. Brick tastes delicious with any kind of fruit, crackers, wine, beer, or apple juice.
Cheddar:
Country of Origin: England/USA Milk: Cows Milk
Cheddar is the most widely purchased and eaten cheese in the world. Cheddar cheeses were originally made in England, however today they are manufactured in many countries all over the world. Fully cured Cheddar is a hard, natural cheese. It is shaped like a drum, 15 inches in diameter, with a natural rind bound in cloth. Normally, the color of Cheddar ranges from white to pale yellow. Some cheddars, however, have a color added, giving the cheese a yellow- orange color. Cheddar is always made from cows milk and has a slightly crumbly texture if properly cured. If the cheese is too young, the texture is smooth. Cheddar gets a sharper taste the longer it matures. It is generally matured between 9 and 24 months. The important thing in purchasing Cheddar is to consider the age of the cheese. Milk is heated to 86 degrees F and inoculated with a lactic starter culture. After an hour rennet is added. When the curd is firm, it is ground down to marble-sized bits which are heated to 100 degrees F. The whey is discarded and it is sliced into slabs. The curd is pressed overnight and stands for 4 days in a cool atmosphere. Unlike other well known cheeses, Cheddars name is not protected so it has been used and abused by many producers around the world.
Chevres:
Country of Origin: France Milk: Goats Milk These cheeses are made from goats milk. They come in many sizes and shapes, such as round patties, log-shapes, drum-shapes, pyramids, round 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.
Edam:
Country of Origin: Holland Milk: Cows Milk This is a pressed, semi-hard to hard cheese made from cows milk. It comes in a shape of ball covered with distinctive red wax. Edam is produced from skimmed or semi-skimmed milk. It is usually consumed young, when the texture is elastic and supple and the flavor is smooth, sweet, and nutty. Black-wax coating means that Edam has been matured for at least 17 weeks.
Gouda:
Country of Origin: Holland Milk: Cows Milk
Named after the Dutch town of Gouda, just outside Rotterdam. It accounts for more than 60 percent of the cheese produced in Holland, and it has a very long history. Gouda is a traditional, creamery, hard cheese. It is round with a very smooth, yellow, waxed rind. The
