I was going to joke that Id prefer to live in a Jarlsberg, but when looking up Jarlsberg to spell it correctly I discovered its named for Jarlsberg Manor, which is in fact a building

Comment on Why is cottage cheese the only cheese defined by some relationship to a building?

What makes you think it’s the building naming the cheese and not the cheese naming the building? Why can’t we live in roqueforts, in masdaams, in cheddars?

Roquefort-sur-Soulzon would have taken its name from a fortress, too, so that counts.

You can live in Cheddar. Nice town, good hiking opportunities.

Or Gouda. For extra fun while you’re there, pronounce Gouda the way it’s typically said in English and watch the Dutchies flinch as little parts of their soul leave their bodies.

Wait, how is it supposed to be pronounced?
RecursiveParadox@lemmy.world 1 day ago
GHOW-da is about the closest English approximation. The G sound is quite different in Dutch though.

Here is how the Dutch say Gouda, with Van Gogh thrown in as a bonus.

I think it would be easier to list the French cheeses that are NOT named after a place.
