« Pays des 300 fromages »

I found a small booklet entitled "Prenez la route des fromages" in my apartment today. Inside, there is a list of cheeses from important regions such as Normandie and Auvergne, two regions I enjoy very much. I know nothing about their cheeses, even after having eaten them.

In our refrigerator, we have some Tomme Noir, a smooth cheese originating in the Alps. It is good on toast, in sandwiches or even alone. The fact is that I know so little about cheese after having lived in France for over a year is now starting to bother me. I must now be resolved to learn how to distinguish between the 350-400 cheeses comprising 8 or so categories. I must eat more cheese.
