We Must Go Deeper

I have to apologise for the misleading title of my first post. I understand that it was not a brief introduction to cheese, but merely a brief introduction to "Cheese - Jono Investigates". For this I am truly sorry. To correct this mistake I have decided to properly introduce you to cheese in all its shining glory.

There are numerous types of different cheeses. An incredible amount actually, considering how simple it is to make, but I'll talk about cheese creation in another post. Cheese is categorised by numerous different factors including texture, ageing, type of milk used, processes, regions of production, the list goes on. Unfortunately, I cannot introduce you to too many types of cheese in case you don't quite recover from the experience. Complex algorithms devised by Caleb Clutterbuck PhD have shown that most individuals can only handle taking in knowledge of three cheeses at a time. In light of this research I drew up a long-list, which led to a short-list, which led to me, Jono, choosing three fine cheeses I thought you needed to have some intel. on. Enjoy.

Parmigiano Reggiano

If we were to package humanity's greatest, brightest achievements in a box to represent us for all time, this cheese would almost certainly be in there. The make process is one of the most sophisticated in the world, and a pinnacle of efficient cheese making technology. This incredible cheese is a key element as a garnish on any good Caesar salad.

Roquefort

Roquefort. It stinks. It stinks horribly. When you get past the smell, however, you get something truly magnificent. The great French blue rears its massive head high above the other classic blues of Europe. The semi-hard cheese made from ewe milk is aged for approximately 3 months, just one of the factors that make it an authentic cheese masterpiece and one of the most flavourful cheeses out there.

English Farmhouse Cheddar

As the most widely consumed cheese in the world, cheddar needs no introduction. However, if you're looking for a more full on cheddar experience, you've got to go with English farmhouse cheddar. There's nothing else quite like it in the world.

Sorry it took me so long to post this, by the way. Great cheese blogs don't grow on trees ... they grow in the minds of people like me, your good friend Jono.
