[Ad] 3 countries, tons of Cheese at Epermarket

Stinky, smelly, rich and creamy – terms we wouldn’t ordinarily use together, are nevertheless the adjectives we use when describing our favorite cheeses.  While some consider camembert the king (or queen) of the cheese world, others dislike it’s distinctive smell and prefer mild, slightly nuttier Emmental (the holier the better!). Cheese preferences vary as much as Shanghai’s unpredictable weather, but we can all agree that we love cheese.

Italian cheese – the key to delicious pizza.  

There’s a reason why kids always ask for cheese pizza – hint, it’s not because of the sauce! Mozzarella, ever a pizza-topping-favorite, can now be joined by other cheesy options like asiago, provolone, and ricotta. For those with lactose intolerance, low-lactose varieties like pecorino, grana padano, and taleggio can be easily added to any Italian dish for a bit of cheesy deliciousness.

Switzerland:  Small Country, Big Cheese

Americans commonly refer any cheese with holes in it as “Swiss cheese,” while the rest of the world knows it as a emmental. In addition to emmental, common Swiss cheeses are appenzeller, emmental, gruyere, and raclette. Did you realize that Switzerland, a country with a third of the population of Shanghai, produces over 450 different kinds of cheese with the help of over 1.7 million cattle?

Fondue (pieces of bread dipped into melted cheese) is the Swiss national food and enjoyed in social settings – the name comes from the French verb fondre ("to melt").

France: The Land of 1,000 Cheeses

France is known as the “melting pot” of over 1,000 varieties of cheese! Even though there are only 246 types of cheese that are labeled AOC, many hundreds of other, less commonly known cheeses that are not considered “AOC-certified” are no less delicious due to their regional and artisanal characteristics.

AOC is a certification issued and regulated by the French government. Why is AOC certification important? It was established to preserve the authenticity of the cheese that is produced in certain regions of France. The wide variety of AOC-certified cheese once led former French president Charles de Gaulle to proclaim, “How can anyone govern a nation that has two hundred and forty-six different kinds of cheese?”
