This is a '''list of cheeses''' by place of origin. [[Cheese]] is a [[milk]]-based food that is produced in wide-ranging flavors, textures, and forms. Hundreds of types of cheese from various countries are produced. Their styles, textures and flavors depend on the origin of the milk (including the animal's diet), whether they have been [[Pasteurization|pasteurized]], the [[butterfat]] content, the bacteria and mold, the processing, and aging.

[[Herb]]s, [[spice]]s, or [[smoking (cooking)|wood smoke]] may be used as flavoring agents. The yellow to red color of many cheeses, such as [[Red Leicester]], is normally formed from adding [[annatto]]. While most current varieties of cheese may be traced to a particular locale, or culture, within a single country, some have a more diffuse origin, and cannot be considered to have originated in a particular place, but are associated with a whole region, such as [[queso blanco]] in [[Latin America]].

Cheese is an ancient food whose origins predate [[prehistory|recorded history]]. There is no conclusive evidence indicating where [[Cheesemaker|cheesemaking]] originated, either in [[Europe]], [[Central Asia]] or [[the Middle East]], but the practice had spread within Europe prior to [[Ancient Rome|Roman]] times and, according to [[Pliny the Elder]], had become a sophisticated enterprise by the time the [[Ancient Rome|Roman Empire]] came into existence.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thenibble.com/REVIEWS/main/cheese/cheese2/history.asp|title=The History of Cheese: From An Ancient Nomad's Horseback To Today's Luxury Cheese Cart|work=The Nibble|publisher=Lifestyle Direct, Inc.|access-date=8 October 2009}}</ref>

In this list, types of cheeses are included; [[brand name]]s are only included if they apply to a distinct variety of cheese.

Cheese production involves several steps, including curdling, coagulation, separation, shaping, and aging. The type of milk used, as well as factors like temperature, humidity, and bacterial cultures, can greatly impact the final product's flavor, texture, and appearance. Artisanal cheesemakers often employ traditional techniques and recipes passed down through generations, while larger commercial operations may utilize more modern and mechanized processes to produce cheese on a larger scale.

|Staazer

|Staazer is a semi-hard cheese made from raw cow's milk from Austria. Staazer is made from hay milk, i.e. the cows that give the milk for the Staazer are fed exclusively with grass and herbs from the pasture in summer and exclusively with hay in winter. There is no silage feeding or feeding with fermentation hay. This special, natural feeding makes the milk, and later the cheese, particularly aromatic. The cheese matures for at least 3 months. Staazer has a round loaf shape weighing about 6&nbsp;kg. The dough is pale yellow, the consistency is compact with few fermentation holes. The taste is aromatic and mildly creamy.

In addition to the regular Staazer, there are also the varieties:

Staazer with wild garlic - 50% fat (Staazer cheese with wild garlic in the dough)
Staazer with hay flowers – 45% fat (Staazer cheese with dried hay flowers on the rind)<ref>{{Cite web |last=Neher |first=Jürgen |title=Staazer : Heumilch-Schnittkäse aus Österreich |url=https://www.kaesewelten.info/kasesorten/kuhmilch/staazer/ |access-date=2024-11-06 |website=Käse aus aller Welt |language=de}}</ref>

|
|
|A type of soft "Leafy" cheese made of [[cow milk]], produced in Northern Montenegro town of Kolašin. This is a cow milk cheese exclusive to the Central North region, more specifically, around Kolašin town. This is due to the specific composition of flora that free-ranging cows feed upon on the [[upland pasture]]s, as well as to the microclimatic conditions of the locality. The attempts to make this cheese elsewhere following the same recipe have failed. The producers from this region are proud of their cheese, and for years have been trying to initialize the procedure for the protection of geographic origin.
This cheese is very valued as a delicacy in whole of Montenegro, and it is one of the most expensive fresh cheeses on the national market.
The name of this cheese is derived from its specific texture. Thin, sometimes almost transparent, layers create a leafy structure, and make strings when the cheese is pulled apart. It has a pleasant mild fragrance. It does not contain high levels of fat, so its taste is mild and light.All producers make it in a similar manner, although every family has their own small secret that distinguishes their cheese, of which they are rather protective. What is known is that this cheese is made by combining the skimmed and whole cow milk. After adding the rennet, which makes milk curd, the cheese is drained and then frequently turned and folded. It is this manipulation that creates thin layers – leaves – that give it a characteristic texture.

|A type of best semisoft cheese made of [[cow milk]], produced in Northern Montenegro town of Pljevlja. Cheese from Pljevlja is a ubiquitous part of Montenegrin meal. It is white cheese made from unpasteurized cow milk. The characteristic flavour comes from the maturation process that takes place in special wooden barrel-like containers. The cheese matures for at least three weeks until it achieves its characteristic strong flavour and creamy texture.

Currently, there is an ongoing procedure for protection of geographic origin for this cheese.
