Why put comté and gruyère in two different categories? I just realized that in France the categorization of cheeses is closer to how they are prepared:

- fresh

- soft

- hard but not cooked

- hard and cooked

and it results in entirely different groupings. This will surely make some people unhappy.

Bloomy-Rind Buffalo is actually not rare at all, at least in France and Italy. I can find it in grocery stores.

Look for "Camembert di Bufala". It tastes as described in the website.

Also, while I can't think of hard goat cheese in the same way as Parmigiano-Reggiano, small Crottin-style goat cheese age well in the right conditions. For example, Pelardon can be sold at various stages: fresh, creamy, dry. The very aged kind can exceed a year and looks a bit like a cookie: hard, brownish, much smaller than the fresh kind because it lost most of its moisture. But it doesn't taste at all like a cookie, it is very strong, enough to numb your tongue, you can grate it if you want to.

I don't know if it's just me, but having built enough websites with AI tools, I'm 99% sure this site has been built with AI. Nothing wrong with that, but the AI look makes me doubt the content is also just put together by AI.

Agreed. This looks exactly like something I would get with the prompt "make me av website with the periodic table of cheese"

I dunno, I'm a dyed-in-the-wool, certified AI hater, and even I don't really care if this is AI or not. The cheeses I am aware of match their descriptions well, and if AI let some guy make this in like fifteen minutes so I can read this silly, fun site on the toilet at work, that's fine to me.

Memorandum: please do not use the word "periodic" for things that are not periodic

Other suitable choices: chart, classification, taxonomy, visualization, table, map, etc, etc.

I totally agree: This feels like Claude Code created it. It's the new, AI version of "It was clearly built with Bootstrap"

As a cheese lover, I don't care too much. :-)
