Most cheeses have a special milk flavor. For China people who have never or rarely drunk milk, sometimes the unpleasant smell of cheese is daunting, not to mention people tasting it, while Europeans eat it with relish, which proves once again the difference in cheese consumption consciousness.

Milk and soybean milk are the past lives of cheese and tofu respectively. In the progress of food culture, people in the East and the West have found their own forms of existence from "white terror". To tell the truth, tofu is healthy, but it is not as good as cheese in terms of calories. It is no wonder that farmers who eat tofu are often helpless in the face of the fierce attack of nomadic people who eat cheese.

Eating habits can sometimes really change the historical destiny of a nation. The most profound invention of China people is boiled water. The progress of metallurgical technology makes it easy for China people to boil water to drink, which also gives birth to tea culture relying on boiling water. Therefore, after China people bid farewell to raw water, the disease infection rate has been greatly reduced, so the population has expanded. Too many people make the historical process of China people often determined by the number of people, and people's labor force becomes worthless. The biggest job of all wise emperors is to raise a huge population. However, most Europeans live in a freezing environment, and the level of farming is low, and the population has never been able to get up. Therefore, the human labor force has become precious, so that under the harsh religious environment, the Renaissance can also produce human value and promote the continuous progress of scientific and technological research to make up for the shortage of labor force. Eating high-calorie cheese and meat all day also makes the blood of Europeans particularly adventurous and aggressive.

The Japanese were the first to realize this. In order to change the gene of "Little Japan", the Japanese government has continuously increased the proportion of milk in the national eating habits, and also encouraged to eat less rice. As a result, the Japanese soon caught up with China in height, and the population quality was the first in Asia.

The process from tradition to modernization in China is like the evolution from soybean milk fritters to milk bread. With the economic development in the past 20 years, people drink more milk. Should we eat more nutritious cheese next? If the habit of eating cheese was carried forward from the Yuan Dynasty, Eight-Nation Alliance would not have been afraid to go to Beijing a hundred years ago.

Clear the name of cheese

Cheese is actually a kind of dairy product with high nutritional value. Each kilogram of cheese products is concentrated from 65,438+00 kilograms of milk, which is rich in nutrients such as protein, calcium, fat, phosphorus and vitamins. This is a pure natural food. The most common view about the origin of cheese was invented by nomadic people. They used to store fresh milk in cowhide backpacks, but the milk often turned sour after a few days. Later, they found that yogurt would agglomerate in a cool and humid climate for a few days and become delicious cheese. Now there are more and more kinds of cheese and ways to eat it. Besides making western food, cheese can also be cut into small pieces and served directly with red wine. You can also eat it with steamed bread, bread, biscuits and hamburgers, or mix it with salads and noodles.

Cheese master

the Netherlands

Dutch people like to make so-called "sandwiches" with slices of bread and cheese. Even when having lunch at work, many Dutch people often bring such sandwiches from home. At most, a hot soup in the restaurant is enough to pass the day's lunch.

Brand: "Goda". To put it mildly, it stinks like socks that haven't been washed for months. The color of the Dutch royal family is orange, so many cheeses are packed brightly, which is unique.

France

French people especially like to eat cheese, and their consumption ranks first in the world, so they are known as the "cheese kingdom". However, the French are more picky about food, at least not only eating cheese like the Dutch. The numerous wines and delicacies in French cuisine determine the eating habits of French people. Usually French people only eat cheese after meals, or they can crush cheese to make soup before meals.

Brand: "Gold and silver veneer". Although it is packed in a small box, it is very expensive, really because the brand is too loud and there is a layer of white hair on the cheese.

Detail cheese

Almost all European countries have their own unique types of cheese, such as Camembert in France, Emmeuteler in Switzerland, Mozzarella in Italy, Gouda in the Netherlands, Cheddar in Britain and so on. In fact, there are more than 2000 kinds of cheese in the world, and cheese is an indispensable food in western food, especially in France, where cheese is a special dish.

Cheese is called "stinky tofu" in the west and was once regarded as unhealthy food during the Renaissance. It was not until the19th century that people's acceptance gradually increased, and cheese production also turned from farm to industrialization.

Among many cheeses with different flavors, eight kinds of cheeses can be derived: the first is fresh cheese, the second is semi-hard cheese, the third is hard cheese, the fourth is white mold cheese, the fifth is blue mold cheese, the sixth is washed cheese, the seventh is goat cheese and the eighth is processed cheese.

The treasure of cheese

In the history of world collection, apart from wine, the most classic food collection is cheese. There are many super enthusiasts abroad. We met one in Guangzhou, namely Chen Zhuang, vice president of Guangzhou Western Food Association.

Chen Zhuang is a western-style chef who studied abroad in his early years. He is familiar with all kinds of western food raw materials. Cheese and wine are his hobbies. He got many collections through various channels, many of which are still valuable today.

In layman's eyes, the smell of cheese is similar, but for Chen Zhuang, who has dealt with cheese for more than ten years, the essence of cheese is determined by the climate, geographical environment, pasture, cattle and sheep; The texture and flavor of cheese are subtly influenced by yeast, container, preparation method and ripening time. As for the taste of cheese, we can observe its shape, judge its color, smell its fragrance and taste its taste. As long as we overcome the obstacle of smell, we are half successful. Cheese blends milk, goat's milk and ammonia flavor produced after fermentation. Chen Zhuang felt that the smell was natural and rich. Strong aroma will make the oral cavity and nasal cavity communicate and hum. Most people like light cheese, and Chen Zhuang likes Dutch cheese that smells like stinky tofu.

Cheese can be used as an ingredient in western food or as a main course alone. A lover like Chen Zhuang certainly wants to specialize in high-quality cheese. However, cheese is not imported alone, and it is perfect with wine, bread and fruit. Generally speaking, mild cheese must be accompanied by mild wine, and salty cheese must be accompanied by strong red wine. French bread with crisp and hard texture should be selected for fresh and first-cooked cheese. Rich and aged cheese is suitable for whole wheat bread with strong taste; Sweet pears are especially suitable for making rich cheese, while sweet and juicy grapes and goat cheese are well balanced, because the characteristics of grapes can dilute the rich flavor of cheese.
