"Sir" is not a title but the word for cheese. This is a typical ewe's-milker cured in a fresh sheep skin. Domestic Gruyère _U.S.A._ An imitation of a cheese impossible to imitate. Domestic Swiss _U.S.A_ Same as domestic Gruyère, maybe more so, since it is made in ponderous 150-to 200-pound wheels, chiefly in Wisconsin and Ohio. The trouble is there is no Alpine pasturage and Emmentaler Valley in our country. Domiati _Egypt_ Whole or partly skimmed cow's or buffalo's milk. Soft; white; no openings; mild and salty when fresh and cleanly acid when cured. It's called "a pickled cheese" and is very popular in the Near East. Dorset, Double Dorset, Blue Dorset, or Blue Vinny _England_ Blue mold type from Dorsetshire; crumbly, sharp; made in flat forms. "Its manufacture has been traced back 150 years in the family of F.E. Dare, who says that in all probability it was made longer ago than that." (_See_ Blue Vinny.) |
