‘American cheese’ was for many years a dirty word synonymous with tasteless slices of plastic cheese… Things though have changed in the last decade or so as the world’s largest milk producer and a myriad of small and big cheese companies across the fifty states now produce some of the best cheese in the world.
Unconstrained by the tight regulations that define a type of cheese in France / Italy / UK, cheese manufacturers in America have experimented with milks and production processes to create delicious traditional hard and soft cheeses but also many new flavours, textures and types.
The US Dairy Export Council is working hard to raise awareness locally and slowly we are beginning to see these American artisan cheeses in Hong Kong shops. Brands such as Beechers who make a stunning aged cheddar and Sartori who have a range of flavoured cheese to tease your taste-buds. bc will have more information on where to buy when distribution deals are confirmed.
