Thats the way to party

I attended a really cool house party today, which is Sunday. It was in one of the Embassy lawns. And it was wine and cheese followed by fondue. 

But in my this blog post, I just want to share with you my knowledge about various cheese. So here is the list.


Soft Cheese


Enjoyed at the end of a meal with crusty bread, a few grapes or with a glass of win. These cheeses also delight numerous gourmets and cheese lovers who eat sandwiches, pizzas, tiramisu, and cheese cakes.


Mozzarella
Ricotta
Mascarpone
Brie
Chevre
Feta
Camembert




Hard Cheese

Hard and dry rind with deep yellow color; the body is golden yellow; has a hard and granular texture, melts in mouth. It evokes bread, almond and apple. Very Fragrant and complex aroma. Taste is rich and complex savors of hazelnut, robust and sharp, rather salty.


Parmesan
Parmigiano Reggiano
Grana Padana
Raclette


Semi Hard Cheese


Moist and creamy, semi hard cheeses tend to be on the drier side, but not hard and crumbly, just firm. Semi hard or semi firm cheeses tend to melt easily, just like semi soft cheeses and have milder flavors.


Cheddar
Pecorino with Truffles
Edam
Gouda
Emmental


Blue Cheese


Sharp and bit salty. The smell of this food is widely considered to be pungent. They can be eaten by themselves or can be crumbled or melted over foods.


Stilton

Fresh Cheese


Rind less and of bright white color; its texture is soft, granular or smooth, and creamy and velvety, according to cheese. It has light fragrance of fresh milk, a slightly acidous creamy taste, is milky and very refreshing.


Bocconcini/ Cherry Mozarella

When the taste buds crave something new and different, time to turn to flavored cheeses
