Nothing wrong with Wensleydale Grommit.

I realise this is just a bit of fun but the results table is so hopelessly skewed away from real life that I suspect that the French and Indeed the British cheese industry will not be bothered. TasteAtlas say not to blame them, they just counted the votes.
We enjoy cheeses from all the main producers regardless of their country of origin. A few even come from Italy.

You say it was skewed but fail to show any expert knowlage to back up your claim.  Having bought cheese for years and watched Wallace and Gromit and having diven by many farms in the Cantal that sell cheese I feel to be better informed than yourself on cheeses.  Pehaps due to brexit it might be harder to get British cheese to some of these trials. |

The OP has got their perspectives wrong; the French believe they should have many places in the top ten by (Divine) right but the UK is simply grateful to be mentioned at all.
The French have not yet understood that their wines, cheeses, meats and the rest are no longer any better than other countries.

Quite.
I mean, after a session of drinking that old favourite of the Conservative Bridge Club a few years ago, namely Ortega: An early-ripening white crossing of Muller-Thurgau x Siegerrebe developed in Germany in the 1920s and 1930s, along with the later addition of Zyclon B with its peach-like aroma and typically made into a sweet whine, comparable to Blue None or Liebfrau Milk Me While Yiu Can, they managed to make some pretty corking deals before they all patted each other on the back and then after a few dodgy handshakes, and a few snorts more they all fell into the sewer. Only those that left the party of their own accord will live to tell the tale.

Acknowledging my ignorance of the more exotic and distant cheeses, I studied the entire 100 cheeses in the list. First I note that the visual presentation of all the cheeses is quite wonderful, displaying their undoubted attraction and encouraging readers to go out and taste them.
It was good to find 20 or 30 types that I have heard of and at least 25 of those tasted at some time. My wife has a good range of cheeses incorporated in her cooking repertoire and I am the beneficiary. Our vegetarian daughter loves her taleggio and leek tart which certainly goes some way for me to consider being part vegetarian, the other part being all the meat dishes that we normally eat.
I have never regarded myself as a cheese connoisseur since my cheese of choice is Cheddar but have an open mind when it comes to trying any new food.

I'm keen to try any cheese I can afford apart from goat's. I'm highly allergic to it. Cheddar is my No.1 for use in cooking. Nothing much else I've tried has enough flavour to be of any use in cooking. A favorite was smoked cheddar but I haven't seen it for years. Love most of the soft cheeses I've tried, one of the best was a Brie made in Somerset.

Taleggio cheese isn’t vegetarian, your daughter is eating animal fat due to the addition of animal rennet. www.castellocheese.com/en-gb/cheese-types/semi-hard-cheese/taleggio/ |
