OVER 200 CHEESES
• - Apropos to the fact that Cheshire cheese is to be canned, it is interesting to note the number of known varieties of cheeses. An official report shows the figure to be just over _2OO. Of these, 33 varieties are made in the British Isles, where, it is pointed out, different districts have strikingly marked preferences in the matter of texture and colour of cheeses. Lancashire folk are specially fond of “Manchester White” cheese, while Norfolk people prefer a brick-red variety. Derby, Gloucester, Leicester, and York each produce what may be called regional cheeses. The well-known Roquefort, cheese is made of sheep’s milk, while Gruycre is made from the milk of goats. One of the queerest kinds is Schapziegor, a Swiss green cheese, which is so strong in flavour that only a fragment is eaten at a time. lI—MM Ilium null 111 3rr#«ai«nwr
