Best Answer

There is a large array of French cheeses and many of them are very popular.

The Cantal is already cited by the Romans. Around the year 800, Charles the Great had Roquefort sent to his capital where it arrived a month later.

Brie, Camembert, Cantal, Comte, Emmental, Mimolette, Port-Salut, Saint-Paulin are rather soft.

Bleu d'Auvergne, Bleu de Bresse, Livarot, Maroilles, Munster, Pont l'Evêque, Reblochon, and cheeses made from goat (Crottin de Chavignol, Pyramide de Valencay,...) or ewe milk (like Roquefort) are stronger in their own ways.

Some modern products (Vache qui rit, Boursin, Babybel...) are also quite popular.
