Top 10 Fascinating Facts About Cheese

By Miss Cellania in Food & Drink on Oct 5, 2009 at 11:24 am

This list, researched by a cheese fan, encompasses a great portion of the history of cheese as well as the different varieties and how they are made. Who knew you could buy cheese made from moose milk?

A farm in Bjurholm, Sweden actually makes moose cheese. The lactation period of moose is short, lasting from about June to August, and the farm, owned by Christer and Ulla Johansson, keeps three moose that produce only 300 kilograms of cheese per year. The moose cheese sells for roughly US$1000 per kilogram.

Before you faint over the price, remember that a kilogram is more than two pounds! Link -via Unique Daily

I’m going to beat the grammar police to the punch, and state that the plural for moose, is indeed meese. Duno how good it is to want to spend that much money on it.

My english teacher, Brian Regan, taught me it was moosen. As in a “Flock of Moosen in the moodsen.”

I’ve been saying for years, “Thinly sliced cheese tastes best”. It’s true.

I’m pretty sure most of your readers would understand a kilogram more so than a pound. This internet thingy is global.

Of course, but I had to take the opportunity for a lame joke.

Moosen? Hmm, first time I ever heard that one. Did he also refer to flocks of Goosen?
