Let's start with France's most emblematic cheese: Camembert. Originating in Normandy, this creamy cheese has a history that goes back to the 18th century.

This Italian cheese, produced exclusively in the regions of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Bologna and Mantua, has a history that goes back over 900 years! Made using traditional methods handed down from generation to generation, Parmesan is famous for its intense flavor and grainy texture.
And what about Cheddar, that strong-tasting English cheese? Originating from the village of the same name in Somerset, Cheddar has been made for over 800 years. Today, it's one of the world's most popular cheeses, appreciated for its versatility and ability to adapt to a multitude of recipes.
