Why is France known for its cheese industry?

Answer 1

Hi I'm French and i guess it's because we were born here, the country of 365 different cheeses... There's such variety you have to love at least one! Many really taste great even if they stink! Moreover, they are good for the health (contain a lot of calcium) if you eat them in moderation. It's true that we have a strange meal compared to English speaking countries, i.e. 3-course-meals + cheese for lunch and for dinner but then we don't nibble all day long. Most French people still share family meals every day. It's all part of the same tradition. Eating is not just a matter of refilling your batteries... It's a pleasure. We are a nation of gourmets... And I think we are kind of healthy too. Have you ever tried real cheese (not cheese spread or that kind of junk)?

Answer 2

France is a rather large country and was for centuries, an agricultural one. Raising cows, sheeps, goats allowed people to collect milk and use it not only fresh, but also transformed and preserved as cheese. As meat was a rarity, cheese was a source of food and proteins, and a staple of everyday food. The variety of recipes and methods gave a very wide variety of cheeses, some already recorded under Roman rule (like the Cantal, praised by Pliny the elder). To this day in French families eating cheese is unquestionable in a "good" menu.
