  1. I can appreciate Blue cheese and all that goes with it, but I simply cannot stand to eat it. I don't know if it's a body chemistry thing as I like the odor, but the taste is revolting to my pallet. 🙁

  2. “I don’t put it out if it’s not right” “What are you doing with that boring piece of Bree” Definitely a New Yorker 😂

  3. Around the 24 minute mark…..Processed cheese, is something I avoid…….Notice they call it "emulsifiers" like it's a natural ingredient………….Think of it more like, a poison.

  4. Some cheeses I just will not eat, Limburger, Swiss, Mimolette, Provolone, I am not a fan. Give me a good Cheddar and I'll be fine.

  5. "…Americans eat about a hundred acres of pizza per day…"

    Poor Europeans are probably writhing in agony at this hahaha. What we wouldn't do to avoid using metric…

  6. I could never imagine my life without eating cheese. Whether it's on pizza, in a grilled cheese sandwich, or a good slice of cheddar on a cracker, I just can't imagine NOT having cheese at all.

  7. I wish they hadn't spent so much time on the processed cheeses, which aren't really cheese, and don't have much flavor.

  8. I've been culturing milk with Kefir grains, producing dairy Kefir. Also learning how to use this to produce a semi-firm, Feta like cheese as well as a sour cream type product. It's just amazing. Next, onto Cheddar.

  9. MRE Cheese is a guilty pleasure, I know what it is and i hate it but man does it really hit a spot i cant describe after a long dusty day in the field.

  10. Sadly most of the dairy farms that would have provided milk back when this was made are closed. Many dairy farms and the dairies refineries have closed. There are not many dairy truck haulers left either.

  11. This history of cheese and all the different methods that shape every wheel, every flavor, every kind; it's all so fascinating! Even though milk doesn't agree with me, I love that i can still eat aged cheeses. Smoked flagship and gouda are my favorites, as well as a good sheep milk feta.

  12. Are we going to ban the Swiss cheese because it creates carbon dioxide. We dint need anymore global warming,or climate change or whatever they're calling it now.

  13. Why are they touching all these with bare hands, and sticking their bare hands in the vats? I'd think you'd need gloves on at all times to handle any foodstuff.

  14. walmart sends there Velveeta cheese bricks in the dairy pallets for the dairy section, an are taken out to the grocery shelf, atleast that is how they did it when I worked the dairy dept!~

  15. Love Modern Marvels, Love this one because it reminds of Government cheese, great for cheese sandwiches. But I love my time in Sicily learning all the different types of cheese.
