Cheeses
There are over 1 000 different types of cheeses in the world, from those that are spreadable like butter to others that are rock hard; some that smell sweet like fresh milk and others that stink to heavens (but taste heavenly).
They each have their own unique quality, taste, texture and flavour, not to mention shape, size, smell and use.
For starters, here are cheeses that are available in South Africa through Woolworths stores nationwide. Click on a cheese to read more about it, and for recipes from TASTE using it.
