When shopping for cheese most people head to their local supermarkets or even worse to the nearest convenience store. The supermarkets will have unattended cheese departments carrying all the obvious tried and true cheeses like plain Swiss, Mozzarella, several Cheddars, tasteless and lifeless factory made Brie and a few goat cheeses. While a few super gourmet stores like Whole Foods may have large cheese departments with some interesting and unusual cheeses they usually only present precut cheese. While precut cheeses may add to the ease of shopping who really knows how long ago they were cut. When buying any cheese you should always have it cut fresh for you while you wait.

French cheese comes in a large variety – over 400 different cheeses! From the mild to the strong, the soft to the hard, this cheese has been enjoyed for ages and is a great compliment to any meal or snack.

French cheese is great to use on crackers, or with a slice of apple. You can crumble it up in a salad or slice it up to use in a sandwich. Eat it alone as a nutritious snack or combine it with your pasta or pizza for a little added zest. It’s a great source of protein and calcium.

Men who eat too much cheese could be at a higher risk of contracting testicular cancer, Canadian researchers conclude in a new study.

University of Ottawa scientists systematically examined 17 food groups, 15 nutrients and 4 individual foods, and they studied 1,345 men–with and without testicular cancer–over several years. The link between cheese consumption and this type of cancer was found to be strong; there was a weaker link between testicular cancer and processed meats.
