What are the different types of cheese?Updated 3 months ago

There are hundreds of different types of cheese, but they can be broadly classified into a few main categories: 

* Fresh cheeses: These cheeses are not aged and have a high moisture content. Examples include ricotta, mozzarella, and chèvre.

* Soft cheeses: These cheeses are aged for a short period of time and have a creamy texture. Examples include Brie, Camembert, and feta.

* Semi-soft cheeses: These cheeses are aged for a longer period of time than soft cheeses and have a crumblier texture. Examples include Gruyère, Emmental, and Monterey Jack.

* Hard cheeses: These cheeses are aged for the longest period of time and have a dry, crumbly texture. Examples include Parmesan, cheddar, and pecorino Romano.
