Australian Cheese vs the World: The Battle for Cheese Supremacy

There is one food that Australia does better than anyone else in the world: cheese. Our farmers have mastered the art of cheese-making, and we are now producing some of the best cheeses in the world. But how does Australian cheese compare to cheese from other countries? In this blog post, we will take a look at some of the most popular types of cheese from around the world, and see how they stack up against Australian cheeses. Stay tuned – it’s going to be a close battle!

The first country we will look at is France. France is well-known for its rich, creamy cheeses, such as Brie and Camembert. These cheeses are made from cow’s milk, and have a soft, velvety texture. They are perfect for spreading on crusty bread, or eating on their own.

Australian cheeses are also made from cow’s milk, but tend to be firmer and less creamy than their French counterparts. Some of the most popular Australian cheeses include cheddar, feta and ricotta. Australians also produce a type of cheese called halloumi, which is popular in Cyprus and Greece.

So, how do these two types of cheese compare? Let’s take a closer look.

When it comes to taste, French cheeses are definitely richer and more flavourful than Australian cheeses. This is because they are made with higher-fat milk, and often contain added cream. Australian cheeses, on the other hand, tend to be lighter and less creamy.

When it comes to texture, French cheeses are also generally softer and more delicate than Australian cheeses. This is because they are made with lower-fat milk, and often contain added rennet (a coagulating agent). Australian cheeses, on the other hand, tend to be firmer and less crumbly.

So, when it comes to taste and texture, French cheeses definitely have the upper hand. But what about price?

Well, French cheeses are generally more expensive than Australian cheeses. This is because they are made with higher-quality milk, and often come from small family farms. Australian cheeses, on the other hand, are usually mass-produced and made with cheaper milk.

So, there you have it! When it comes to Australian cheese vs the world, there is no clear winner. It all depends on what you’re looking for in a cheese. If you want something cheap and cheerful, then go for an Australian cheese. But if you’re after something a bit more special, then you might want to splurge on a French cheese.
