Which is the best French cheese?
I've heard that a French president once said: How can one govern a country that has 256 different cheeses? - Is this true and how do the French choose their cheese? Is there a list of all time best French cheeses?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Charles De Gaulle said that in 1962. If there were only 256, that would be impressive. The fact is, that there are over 1000 different kinds of French cheese. Here's the website where you can find them, but you'll need to know French. http://www.produits-laitiers.com/?id=1152&i=2&j=3
Tasting cheese is like tasting wine, so what's the best to one may not be to another. That's the beauty of cheese, that it's a matter of taste, and testifies to the uniqueness of you as an individual

The problem I've had is that I've read about cheeses online and seen pics and descriptions but when I get to the cheese market all of that goes out the window. There's just a disconnect between the tech and the overwhelming selection of the market. So this site brings the market to the net and it's brilliant.
