What is the French name for cheese chef?

Answer 1

Dear Heaven, what a question. There are between 350 and 400 different cheeses produced in France, so the answer is 'every sort'. Hard, crumbly cheeses like Wensleydale or Lancashire are not common, though still available and, presumably, enjoyed. There are many soft cheeses (Camembert, Brie, etc.) and many semi-soft; hundreds of blues, and cheeses made of goat's and ewe's milk. The variety is endless and fascinating. In a formal meal, incidentally, cheese is eaten before dessert, while the red wine is still on the table, usually with a little dressed salad to follow the main course and clease the palate before the cheese board is brought out.

Answer 2

Goodness me, what a question! There are about 400 types of French cheese, from the mild and innocuous Mimolette to one so smelly it's called Englishman's Foot (Pied d'Anglois). Try 3 of these:

Camembert

Brie

Roquefort

Saint-Paulin

Saint-Nectaire

Neufchatel

Tomme de Savoie

or see a fairly complete list on http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_de_fromages_fran%C3%A7ais

Answer 3

there are numerous famous cheeses in France. The Roquefort (a ewe cheese) was already a favorite of Charlemagne 1200 years ago and the Cantal was praised under the Romans. Camembert, Brie, Pont-l'Evêque, Ossau-Iraty, Maroilles, Emmental, Comté, Bleu de Bresse, Bleu d'Auvergne... are other famous cheeses.

Answer 4

Maroilles is a French cheese made in the North East of France. It's name comes from the village Marroilles where there used to be a big abby that made the stuff. I'm not sure that this is the smelliest chese, some say "Munster" mader in th eEast of France I have never tasted the Corsican cheese that is supposed to have maggots growing on it before it's considered ripe.... I would say that a good ripe Maroilles is a hell of a stinker!!
