I've been doing my part for the US, but clearly need help to get our ranking up.

Problem is that american cheese isn't even cheese half the time

reply

True, especially the thing specifically called "American Cheese."

I'm helping! I need to find somewhere to get good super sharp cheddar for less money though!

reply

That's one of my preferred cheeses, too!

This post made me hungry so I sliced myself a few of this bad boys. This is around 110 grams of cheese (about 1.5x the daily average consumption according to the above study).

(mandarine for scale, but might eat is as well)

PS: if you have questions about French cheeses feel free to ask them below, I'll try to answer throughout the day 🧀

This is cool, now I am hungry too :) I love Compte, in particular, those ones that “mature” 12+ months.

reply

Totally, one of my favorite! This one is a 36 months, but I usually go for 48 when it's available.

Guessed France. Was correct.

Did not expect Iceland at #2, though. I would've guessed Italy or Switzerland there.

reply

Weird result. France either over reports, or has unlocked some secret key to cheese consumption.

reply

No, you underestimate us froggies.

The cheese is not pasteurized

reply

I would rather trust this. I learned to eat cheese in France when I lived there. Have a friend who is fine with a cheese and wine for dinner :)

reply

Finland and Iceland - wow!

reply

Cheese in America is dead. It is factory produced, pasteurized, sliced and wrapped in plastic and refrigerated. In other words, cheese in America is an abomination.

Cheese is a living food with a rich history and a vast and complex diversity.

Come on Canada. Step it up. Poutine is like our national dish.

Surprised! India isn't on the list.
But it had to be that way Indians consume so much milk that barely save any for milk products

LOL, I gotta think bigger. I was like

Wisconsin!
