The Complete Book of Cheese

by Bob Brown

Notable Wisconsiners are Loaf, Limburger, Redskin and Swiss.

Withania
India

Cow taboos affect the cheesemaking in India, and in place of rennet from calves a vegetable rennet is made from withania berries. This names a cheese of agreeable flavor when ripened, but, unfortunately, it becomes acrid with age.

Y

Yoghurt, or Yogurt
U.S.A.

Made with Bacillus bulgaricus, that develops the acidity of the milk. It is similar to the English Saint Ivel.

York, York Curd and Cambridge York
England

A high-grade cream cheese similar to Slipcote, both of which are becoming almost extinct since World War II. Also, this type is too rich to keep any length of time and is sold on the straw mat on which it is cured, for local consumption.

Yorkshire-Stilton
Cotherstone, England

This Stilton, made chiefly at Cotherstone, develops with age a fine internal fat which makes it so extra-juicy that it's a general favorite with English epicures who like their game well hung.
