American
Cheese is smooth, with light, yellow or orange color. It has a mild taste.
The cheese is usually cut into square slices and it does not separate
when melted. When cooled, this cheese forms a skin-like layer to protect
itself from danger. |

Brie
is the best known French cheese and has a nickname "The Queen of Cheeses".
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. The plastic flavor in your mouth
after eating is only temporary. |

cheeses were originally made in England, however today they are manufactured
in many countries all over the world. This cheese is good on crackers,
so you should try it! |

Colby
is a creamery, semi-soft cheese made from cow's milk. It is sweet, rather
than savory. Colby has a higher moisture content than Cheddar and feels
more elastic. You might say that Colby is the annoying little cousin of
Cheddar. |

The
plastic, spun-curd buffalo milk cheese Mozzarella, originated from southern
Italy. Many New Yorkers mispronounce the name of this cheese, along with
many other Italian meats and pastas. |
 |
Swiss
has a firmer texture than baby Swiss, and is known for being shiny, pale
yellow with large holes. Flavor is mild, sweet and nut-like. Don't panic
if your swiss does not already have holes. A specialist like Charles can
install them for you. |
