All we know is that this is made of the whole milk of cows, soured,
and it is not as unusual as the double "h" in its name. Chiavari _Italy_ There are two different kinds named for the Chiavari region, and both are hard: I. Sour cow's milk, also known as Cacio Romano. II. Sweet whole milker, similar to Corsican Broccio. Chiavari, the historic little port between Genoa and Pisa, is more noted as the birthplace of the barbaric "chivaree" razzing of newlyweds with its raucous serenade of dishpans, sour-note bugling and such. Chives cream cheese Of the world's many fine fresh cheeses further freshened with chives, there's Belgian Hervé and French Claqueret (with onion added). (_See both_.) For our taste it's best when the chives are added at home, as it's done in Germany, in person at the table or just before. Christalinna _Canton Graubünden, Switzerland_ Hard; smooth; sharp; tangy. Christian IX _Denmark_ A distinguished spiced cheese. |
