Guessed France. Was correct.
Did not expect Iceland at #2, though. I would've guessed Italy or Switzerland there.

This post made me hungry so I sliced myself a few of this bad boys. This is around 110 grams of cheese (about 1.5x the daily average consumption according to the above study).
Left to right: Mothais sur feuille (foreground), Compté (background), Laguiole (fg), Roquefort (bg), Reblochon.
(mandarine for scale, but might eat is as well)
PS: if you have questions about French cheeses feel free to ask them below, I'll try to answer throughout the day 🧀

This is cool, now I am hungry too :) I love Compte, in particular, those ones that “mature” 12+ months.

Totally, one of my favorite! This one is a 36 months, but I usually go for 48 when it's available.

True, especially the thing specifically called "American Cheese."

I'm helping! I need to find somewhere to get good super sharp cheddar for less money though!

That's one of my preferred cheeses, too!

Finland and Iceland - wow!

Weird result. France either over reports, or has unlocked some secret key to cheese consumption.

No, you underestimate us froggies.

The cheese is not pasteurized

I would rather trust this. I learned to eat cheese in France when I lived there. Have a friend who is fine with a cheese and wine for dinner :)

Cheese in America is dead. It is factory produced, pasteurized, sliced and wrapped in plastic and refrigerated. In other words, cheese in America is an abomination.
Cheese is a living food with a rich history and a vast and complex diversity.

Come on Canada. Step it up. Poutine is like our national dish.

Surprised! India isn't on the list. But it had to be that way Indians consume so much milk that barely save any for milk products
