How People Around the World Make Cheese

Is there a person who doesn’t like cheese? Most people do, as cheese is one of the most universally loved foods in the world. And there are so many types of cheese that everyone can pick something they love! Great Big Story’s Beryl Shereshewsky traveled the world to learn about different cheeses and how they are made.

She explored several different corners of the world in search of unique cheese varieties and seven made it into this video. One of them, the Serbian Pule cheese made from donkey milk, is the 12th most expensive ingredient in the world, and the rest are equally interesting for anyone who wants to learn more about cheese.

“We sample all of it, of course—from Serbia’s donkey cheese to Wisconsin’s cheese curds to Sardinia’s casu marzu, full of maggots. Not to be outdone, Shereshewsky invites us into her New York City home where she makes India’s paneer for the first time, using her mother-in-law’s recipe,” the video description reads.
