Cheese can be hard or soft, but is generally of very fat cow's milk. However, some of the varieties of cheese made from goat's and sheep's milk - applies to them, and one of the most famous - Roquefort cheese and some of the countries of Eastern Europe.
There are several kinds of cheese, but the differences between them are not too significant. By the 1 st mind include cheeses with white moldy crust. The most famous of them - Camembert and Brie, which many have heard and we have.
For the production of these cheeses are curdled milk, and then salted. A cheese matures in the cellars, where they live mold fungi of the genus penicillin - there they covered all the walls, and call them noble rot. In the mature cheese such downy mildew cover the entire crust.

There are other types of mold cheeses - with obmytoy crust. They are called krasnoplesnevymi or savory.
