Incanestrato
_Sicily, Italy_ Very sharp; white; cooked; spiced; formed into large round "heads" from fifteen to twenty pounds. _See_ Majocchino, a kind made with the three milks, goat, sheep and cow, and enriched with olive oil besides. Irish Cheeses Irish Cheddar and Irish Stilton are fairly ordinary imitations named after their native places of manufacture: Ardagh, Galtee, Whitehorn, Three Counties, etc. Isigny _France_ Full name Fromage à la Crème d'Isigny. _(See.)_ Cream cheese. The American cheese of this name never amounted to much. It was an attempt to imitate Camembert in the Gay Nineties, but it turned out to be closer to Limburger. (_See_ Chapter 2.) In France there is also Crème d'Isigny, thick fresh cream that's as famous as England's Devonshire and comes as close to being cheese as any cream can. Island of Orléans _Canada_ This soft, full-flavored cheese was doubtless brought from France by early emigrés, for it has been made since 1869 on the Orléans Island |
