I bought brie for the first time yesterday and the mold on the outside had me concerned because I'm almost entirely ignorant when it comes to cheese so I figured I'd watch a video and see what's up...

[@Camroc37]

If you're near a big city there's bound to be a dedicated cheese store. They are really fun to go to and usually let you sample. I went as a kid because I got a gift card and the lady was probably pissed that I asked to try EVERY cheese they had, but I spent like $70 so I guess it was okay.

[@asphalt-cowboy9479]

@Camroc37 lol I'm that guy through and through. If free samples are available yah boy is trying every single one that seems even remotely interesting to me.. unfortunately I live in the middle of nowhere but I'm a t4uck d4iver so I'm sure if I look hard enough on my travels I can find one. Do places do cheese tastings the same as they do wine? I never understood wine but I'm down to try pretty much any cheese you can find atleast once. Even the gross ones lol.. triple creme brie took some getting used to but I kill3d a 3-4lb square in like 2 days a cpl weeks ago. I was slightly ashamed but it was soooooo good lol

[@Camroc37]

@@asphalt-cowboy9479 There's one about 45 minutes from me and I'm fairly in the middle of nowhere, not like North Dakota nowhere, but Midwest nowhere. There's definitely cheese AND wine tasting places, but I think for cheese you're likely to just eat a sample in front of a store counter.

It's less expensive than you'd think. If you dine out, you probably already spend more than it would cost to experience a cheese and its pairing. And the cheese experience would make a good meal replacement. With the 30 cheeses in the video, you should be able to buy a pound of each of these cheeses and their pairings for under $1,000 total. Spread it out (pun intended) over a year.

I find it sad that the only cheese you usually eat are cheddar and mozzarella. I'm from the region of france where we eat a great variety (franche-comté ) and it surprised me a lot to think that in some area , people didn't really know cheese exist. Like i litteraly see a chinese guy when i was at university who vomit is cheese because the idea of a solid block of milk was disgusting for him . Another chinese what skeptical at first , but some weeks ago we saw some goat cheese on his fridge and we where happy to see that he actually enjoy cheese . i'm also sad that we won't see a part 2 of this video , they are a lot of strange cheese who still exist , like cancoillote who is a sort of liquid cheese who can be used like a sauce , generaly used with potatoes and sausage , who is nearly fat free (around 5-8% , very strange for a cheese ) or casu marzu , who is a cheese from sardinia or southern corsica . it's a cheese with a lot of protein because he contain insect larva in here . i could go on and on with these strange cheese ( i'm french) but i love to find some strange cheese around the world too Winnimere and halloumi make me eager to test them , at least i now know one US cheese who seem very nice !

[@ObservationofLimits]

What shithole do you live in that there's only Cheddar and Mozz?

[@MB-bp8ek]

@@Eldiran1 I am Italian, so I totally get your point. Regarding your experience with those Chinese students, it's not only something cultural, but biological. Only around 30% of the world's population has lactose tolerance; in East Asia, the portion of lactose intolerant people is very close to 100%. The spreading of the persistence of the Lactase enzyme has roots in the Neolithic period. It's truly a fascinating subject ;)

@@acarroll6842 they didn’t cover Asian cheeses. There was no mention of paneer which is very common in India, and I don’t know if tofu counts but it wasn’t mentioned. Other than Asia, There’s also ayibe from ethiopia and nabulsi from the middle east. Ofc as she said they can’t cover all the different cheese, there are just too many, but paneer is quite famous. I think the reason these cheeses weren’t included is because they are homemade and rarely found in stores.
