List of British cheeses
This is a list of cheese from the United Kingdom. The British Cheese Board states that "there are over 700 named British cheeses produced in the UK."
Blue cheese is a general classification of cow's milk, sheep's milk, or goat's milk cheeses that have had cultures of the mould Penicillium added so that the final product is spotted or veined throughout with blue, blue-grey or blue-green mould, and carries a distinct smell, either from that or various specially cultivated bacteria.
Granular cheese, also referred to as hard cheese, is a type of cheese produced by repeatedly stirring and draining a mixture of curd and whey. It can refer to a wide variety of cheeses. Some hard cheeses are aged for years.
Cheeses that are classified as semi-hard to hard include Cheddar. Cheddar is one of a family of semi-hard or hard cheeses (including Cheshire and Gloucester), whose curd is cut, gently heated, piled, and stirred before being pressed into forms.
