Whether you enjoy your cheese paired with a nice glass of red wine, or straight out of the bag as a midnight snack, there’s no argument that Europe offers endless choice for premium cheeses.
For centuries, people have produced and consumed cheese in a variety of forms. Currently there are over 1,400 varieties of cheese across the globe, and France alone produces more than 400 cheese varieties.
What were once regional specialties are now known and shared around the world. But still today local tastes show a preference for the home grown variety. Our cheese map looks at the origin of Europe’s favourite cheeses and what European consumers expect from their cheese – as well as the perfect packaging for each type.
