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

    thanks. this might be it. I was thinking there was some sort of cheese with a name like this but I still feel there is at least one more.

      This looks like a cheese that went to college and graduated summa cum latte.

    Isn’t that cheddar? Or whatever the european continent version is? The name of the cheese changes depending on whether they cover the cheese with cheesecloth, burlap, plastic/wax, or bared before leaving it in a cave? culturecheesemag.com/…/age-appropriate-make-chees… or dailymail.co.uk/…/The-cheese-cave-Damp-conditions…

    If I remember correctly, most of the modern aging processes try to mimic natural caves, since we just don’t have enough of the real thing to age all of our cheese.

  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.

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

    So not even close to Cheddar? Why don’t they call it Caputo instead.

      There once was a surgeon named Keith, who circumcised men with his teeth. It was not for leisure, or sexual pleasure, but to get to the cheese underneath.

  I read some stuff and its not exactly clear why it’s called that. it could possibly be how poor people living in the countryside would usually have access to fresh milk from having a cow, and the process to make cottage cheese is less refined, so a city dweller used to fancier cheese would consider the cheap cheese more befitting of someone who lives in a cottage

  • Saleh@feddit.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    That doesn’t make sense. Villagers know perfectly well how to make cheese and the cow is the most expensive part of the process. You add some acid to make the curd, add your starter culture from the sheep stomach, and have that rest for some time in a cool and dark space. After a while start salting it, if you have salt available.

  All cheese is made by bacteria who live there, so it’s pretty much a building to them!

  So I hereby define every cheese by relationship to a building.

  (I’m fun at parties.)

    I know a guy who keeps cheese in a cellar specific for that cheese.

  Most other cheeses are named after regions that had the specific cultures, climate conditions, and artisinal practices necessary to produce that particular cheese. Cottage cheese is just sorta the base cheese that any old peasant can make in their cottage.
