Not sure where to post this and I hope it is allowed.
Needs suggestions (and possibly recipes). My son is heading back to school soon and wants to make cheeses that go with each country they are studying. They are looking at a different country each week, seems to be starting with Ireland, England, then up to Iceland, Greenland, Norway, Sweden, Poland, Germany, etc. They plan on hitting all the EU countries and Russia as well as the popular countries in our news. Asia is toward the end of the school year, I am not sure when Africa or South America are on the schedule.
Anyway, I need ideas for cheeses. I have Quark for Germany, Tvorog for Russia, Cheddar (and so many others) for England, France is pretty easy too with all their goat varieties. But the rest I am pretty lost when it comes to the smaller European countries and there has to be more available in Russia too than Tvorog. lol I know some are regionally protected and finding recipes is nearly impossible.
I have cow and goat milk, presses and cheese caves. Doing fresh or aged cheeses are possible. I even have a smoker but have not used it yet.
Ideas? I am striking out with anything from Ireland. What I am finding is mainly current cheeses marketed by farms and of course no recipes for those--which I fully understand. I was hoping to find older and traditional recipes from each country. This may be more of a difficult task than I thought it would be.
