Apologies for the Outdated Content
In the past, these pages were updated frequently, thanks to our number one cheese fan. However, since she stopped editing Cookipedia, the pages have not been kept current. As a result, you may not find recent 'Award-Winning Cheeses' and similar content here. Despite this, I believe these pages still offer a wealth of valuable information, so I have decided to keep them available for you. --Jerry
Etymology
This huge section was originally entitled 'Cheeses of the World', accurate but a little too wordy when menu layouts are considered. Young Emma solved this conundrum at a stroke. Here's how:
Emma, about six years old I would guess, and her dad were cycling along the seafront between Walmer Castle and Deal Castle at the close of an Easter day. He called to her "What would you like for your tea tonight, Emma?" She paused, then pedaled off, shouting in a sing-song manner; "Just Cheese", "Just Cheese", "Just Cheese".
And so it shall be. Thank you Emma, whoever you are.
Cheese Powders
I've recently discovered Taste Sensation Ltd, who can supply high quality dried cheese powders in amounts suitable for home users as well as large quantities. The cheese powders originate from Lactosan.com in Denmark who are world renowned. I think another recipe for cheese popcorn is about to be created!
