What about Some Cheese?
There are three main types of cheese in Europe. The first of these is the hard type. For example, in the north of Europe theres Cheddar from Britain, and Gouda from the Netherlands. Further south you can find Gruyere and Emmenthal in Switzerland, and Manchego in Spain. And in Italy theres a cheese which is harder than all the others, Parmesan.
The next group is soft cheese. Camembert and Brie are two famous French soft cheeses while Mozzarella and Mascarpone are the best known Italian soft cheeses.
Many countries also have blue cheese. In Britain theres Stilton, and in Denmark theres Danish Blue, while in France theres Roquefort, a soft creamy blue cheese, and in Italy theres Dolcelatte, which is also soft and creamy.
