Cheese Lovers Day
January 20 · Level 2 · #1954 of 2238
Cheese Lovers Day is an informal excuse to explore everything from soft, creamy cheeses to sharp, aged varieties. It celebrates the food itself and the many local traditions behind a cheese counter.
How it is celebrated: enthusiasts hold tastings, build sharing boards and cook favourite cheese dishes. Specialist shops introduce unfamiliar varieties, while a tasting at home can turn into a friendly vote for the best bite.
Blue cheese needs air to develop its distinctive veins. Cheesemakers pierce it so oxygen can reach the mould cultures growing inside.
