Funny, I just tried it on a comte and it thought it was gruyere. Still probably a better guess than a lot of people I know would give (Edit, reading below I see others noticed the same thing)

Compté basically is Gruyère: same recipe, same process, same taste profile, just slightly different terroir. ( https://www.thephcheese.com/gruyere-and-comte-two-of-a-kind )

Comté. Note that it is very interesting that to make good Swiss Gruyère, you need Montbéliarde cow milk. At the turn of the last century, farmers from France effectively passed calves across the border by carrying them on the back and doing very dangerous mountain climbing[0].

Reminded me of the Monty Python Cheese Shop sketch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheese_Shop_sketch

“The original codename for Python Package Index (the central software repository for the Python programming language) was "CheeseShop" in reference to this sketch. The current standard packaging format for Python software is called "wheel", as a reference to a wheel of cheese.”

People are saying no, but nobody is offering a more-similar pair of cheeses.

Gruyère and Emmental.

Not at all. Emmental has a mild, flat flavour profile where Gruyère has a full bodied rich taste, just like Comté does.

It's very misleading that the author decided to use external libraries on the other examples, yet used the built-in URLSession on Swift.

The JS fetch example is native, no library. But point taken - what does a Swift file upload request look like with a (common) library?

You can find an example using Alamofire, the most commonly used network framework, here.

News flash from 2023: Prevision.io rebrands itself as Cheezam to focus on the fine cheese and wine niche. The company has partnered with Michelin 3-star restaurants, applying machine learning to high-throughput sequencing data to offer menus specially tailored to your genetic taste signature.

Side note: LOC for the example API call in JS: 13 Python: 9 Curl/Bash: 1 Swift: 60

My swift is pretty rusty now, but I'm fairly sure you don't need to construct an http request by hand (which is what the example code is doing), even if you're limited to only using Foundation classes

To be fair camembert and brie look identical from the outside ( and even mostly inside).

In other words, there cant be a Shazam for cheese. It’s an impossible task.

Maybe if it was equipped with a spectrometer and microscope...

other points : as a french, I have access to french cheese for my photo for the most part, this i why the model is focused on french cheese

But I hope to learn more about other countries cheese ! We should probably put some image gathering / labelling website somewhere
