CanadaCanada’s cheese history is a specialcombination of its French and Englishheritage, beginning with cattle trade in the17th century. From soft-ripened, Parisianbrie to the stoic British cheddars, thetraditions of Canadian cheese began withan artisanal approach, and soon progressedto industrialized methods. By the 1900s, thecreation, manufacturing and trade of cheesebecame amongst eastern Canada’s mostimportant commodities.

As innovators of new techniques ofpasteurization and stringent hygienemethods, Canada implemented a seriesof laws and guidelines that soon becameindustry standards. The Frenchcentricprovince of Quebec is also the centerof cheese culture in Canada; more than halfof Canadian cheese is produced in Quebec,and almost two-thirds of all specialtycheeses.

While many Danes mark the beginning of their cheese history with the story of Hanne Neilsen in the 1850s, the real story of Denmark’s cheeses begins around 500 BC with the Vikings. These hearty conquerors would take milk from cows, goats and sheep and use the excess to make cheese. Many of their methods were brought from conquests throughout northern Europe. The modern history begins with a farmer’s daughter, Hanne Neilsen, and the first cheese she produced at her husband’s farm, called Havarthigaad. This soft, creamy cheese, with plenty of “eyes” certainly helped Denmark see the light. This cheese, which came to be known as Havarti, is now considered one of Denmark’s most versatile and popular cheeses.

EnglandFrom the countryside of Wales to historicalcreameries outside London, English products have a long and proud tradition of creating a wide variety of different tastes, textures and flavors in their dairy market. With a history of cheese making that pre-dates the Roman invasions, there are now a total of over 700 English cheese and dairy products.

Cheese making in England advanced at abewildering pace; stemming from a time when monks and monasteries created cheeses, a place where innovation and experimentation were commonplace, to the artisanal creations of today. Traditionally set by regions, from the so called ‘crumblies’ such as Cheshire, Lancashire and Wensleydale, to the famous Stilton and Cheddar, each cheese has unique characteristics that are as individual as their makers.

FranceThe moment France became synonymouswith cheese may have been when General Charles de Gaulle said, “How can you governa nation that has 246 varieties of cheese?”Today France has almost 1,000 different typesof cheeses and clearly has no shortage ofproducts to choose from. Known for a richhistory filled with cheese, French productscontinue to be made and handled with theutmost care and attention.

With a passion for cheese that is unsurpassed,French cheeses range in local flavors andtechniques, and are heavy in their regionalinfluences. Like many other countries witha robust cheese culture, France dividestheir Protected Designation of Origin (P.D.O)cheeses into four categories: Artisanal,Cooperative, Fermier (farmhouse), andIndustrial. These distinctions mark wherethe milk is sourced and how the cheese isproduced. Whether made in an artisanal“fromagiere” or through modern processingproductions, these cheeses differ from town totown, and farm to farm.

French cheeses and products are amongst the most sought after in the world.

GreeceIt began with an Odyssey, “His cheese racks were loaded with cheeses, and he had more lambs and kids than his pens could hold.” Clearly, an over abundance of sheep meant that extra milk could be used for cheese. The existence of Feta cheese, initiated well before Homer’s time, continues today with the simple use of sheep’s milk, salt and rennet. With its arid mountain climate and rocky soil, the main source of agriculture in Greece was farming and milk. Out of necessity, a cheese culture was born. Other popular varieties, like Kasseri and Manouri have also existed for thousands of years, using a combination of goat and sheep’s milk.

Greeks also consume plenty of cheese per year, over 30kg per person, more than any other nation in the world. Several varieties of Feta and other cheeses have Protected Denomination of Origin (P.D.O) status, requiring strict production and distribution guidelines.

Lipari offers a variety of quality Greek products, including Mevgal Feta, Kasseri and Manouri – the quintessential Greek cheeses.

HollandIn the windmill dotted landscape of theNetherlands, some of the most fertile lowlands and pristine grasses can be found. These ideal farming environments breed a unique brand of cattle, farmers, and ultimately, cheese. Produced since prehistoric times, cheese has been made throughout the Netherlands, with a focus on North and South Holland, as well as Friesland, which are all situated along the shore, ideal for their wet soil.

By the Middle Ages, Dutch cheese wereshipped abroad, and by the 18th century,the Netherlands had a strong reputation forproducing outstanding cheese. By the turn of the 19th century, cheese making progressed beyond the family-owned farms to more industrialized creameries. Cooperative farms soon became the fastest way to combine artisanal techniques with modern machinery, with the first co-op farm established in 1886.

From the blue-clay soils of the Beemsterpolder, to the Mill Dance creameries, Holland’s rich tradition of cheese making has never looked, or tasted, stronger.

IrelandThe Irish word for cheese – cáis – is itself an ancient term, and throughout Irish history dairy products were central to the traditional diet. Despite its rich culinary attributes, the art of Irish farmstead cheesemaking effectively disappeared at the end of the 18th century when potatoes had become the dietary staple. Farmstead milk was instead used to make butter with very minimal cheese production continued and mostly concentrated in monasteries. Cheese manufacturing came to light again mid-twentieth century. Through he regions of Ireland each cheese expressed the singular place from which it originated; cheese from County Tipperary had to speak of Tipperary, and one from County Clare had to have the characteristics of the West Coast, whilst Wexford cheeses had to capture the sunny climate of the South East of Ireland.

Today, every part of Ireland holds an interesting, distinctive, local farmstead cheese. The cheese revolution has been a steady and crafted by passion, and it has succeeded for a very simple reason: the people who make the cheeses ensure the cheese speaks of their land, their milk, their labor and their passion.

From the ski slopes to the streets, Norway is known for its variety of flavorful cheeses,including the illustrious Jarlsberg. Over a span of 100 years, the production and manufacturing of cheese products in Norway would reverberate across the globe. First was the creation of Jarlsberg, similar to the Swiss

Emmental, pioneered in Norway by Anders Larsen Bakke in the 1850s.

The second revolutionary event was the invention of the cheese slicer, fashioned by a carpenter named Thor Bjørklund in 1927. After trying to divide slices of cheese that had melted, he simply used a piece of steel to fashion a slicer that would divide a block of cheese into uniform slices. After this invention, the deli counter was transformed forever.

ItalyWith a history of cheese and meats that dates over thousands of years, the Italians are amongst the most passionate and particular about their cuisine. Though cheese is believed to have originated in the Middle East, it was the Romans who made it a staple of the Italian diet, streamlining its production and inventing new cheese making techniques.

Through the medieval times, monasteries became the epicenter of the cheese-making industry in Italy. It was here that methods were developed that are still in use today. Farmers and cheese makers were careful to use every resource available to them; this resulted in the creation of Mozzarella di Bufala, one of the world’s most popular cheeses, made from the milk of the Water Buffalo who were originally intended to pull the plows on the farm. Italian meats enjoy the same elite status as their cheese counterparts, with Prosciutto di Parma or Speck Alto Adige earning Protected Designation of Origin (P.D.O) status along with cheeses like Pecorino Romano or Grana Padano.

PolandThe genesis of the long and storied cheeseindustry lays in north-central Poland.From cheddar to mozzarella, analysis of prehistoric pottery unearthed from sites in the Slavic country show that modern cheese-making began as early as 5500 B.C.

Modern Polish cheese-making began to take prominence in society thanks to the Cistercian abbeys in the south-east region of Jedzejow, during the Middle Ages. Slow to develop, towards the end of the 19th century the influx of immigrants from Germany and Holland began to contribute their knowledge and expertise to the local cheese market on the north coast in Pomerania region. Although cheese making was originally considered an industry for wealthy andowners, during the late 1800s under the Austrian empire, a large cheese cooperative movement began

From this rich history, Poland now claims the origins of 60 unique varieties. Today, their most popular cheeses are artisan made from organic ingredients in small quantities on family farms. They may be soft or hard, made from cow, sheep or goat milk, but the flavor is always rich and exquisite.

SpainSpanish cheese and meats are like manyother countries throughout Europe – theirhistories and traditions stem from a local and regional level. While the Romans are credited with bringing more sophisticated cheese making techniques to Spain, it is believed that cheeses were being produced centuries prior. The cheeses of Spain have a sordid history; during the Franco regime, artisanal cheese making was outlawed, and many varieties of cheese became extinct. With the end of this era, and the inclusion of Spain into the European Union in 1980, cheese production quickly returned to the everyday culture. Spain was also given access to award “Denominacion de Origen” (D.O. or D.O.P.) recognition to the production of several meats and cheeses.

While Spain is known for the dry, arid landscapes that produce Manchego, much of Spain is outlined by mountainous pastures and coastal terrain that now produce a variety of cheeses. With over 100 known types of Spanish cheese, these products range from the region of their production, the time of year, and the animal used.

SwitzerlandThe history of cheese in Switzerland is literally full of holes. The Swiss cheese trade can be traced back to the 15th century, when travelers moved through the Alps and would store hard cheeses for long periods of time without spoiling. In the snowy and mountainous regions of Switzerland, monks would keep cheeses for their monasteries throughout the winter. One infamous guest, Napoleon, with his army of over 40,000, survived on cheese through their march on the country in 1800.

As production became commonplace and cheese became a commodity, Swiss products were sold throughout Europe, creating a strong and valuable market and invaluable master cheese makers. The globalization ofSwiss cheese cuisine is due in part to cheesemakers taking their skills to America, Russiaand beyond, settling in these countries andopening their own creameries. Switzerland’smost beloved cheese, Emmental, may have been developed as early as the 1300s,with full-scale production and distributionimplemented by the 1800s. Swiss Emmentalquickly became Switzerland’s most prizedcommodity, with Emmentaler Switzerlandgaining Appellation D’Origine Contrôlée(A.O.C) status.

With half of Switzerland’s milk made into cheese, it is no wonder that the country produces over 450 varieties. From tangy hard cheeses to aromatic herb-rind cheeses or specialty products matured in wine, this delicious staple of our daily table can be appreciated in a myriad of ways.

Each of Mifroma’s cheeses is the result of centuries of artisan knowledge and skills married with the most modern of quality control and production technologies. For precision and flavor, many of the stages are carried out by hand, from salting and churning to turning and washing the cheese wheel.

A distinctive feature of Mifroma cheeses is that many of our products are matured in a vast natural cave in Ursy, a village at the foot of the Alps. It was over 50 years ago that this ancient rocky cavern was transformed into the perfect cheese chamber.

Carved from the mountainside over century, the rugged walls of our prized grotto retain high levels of humidity and maintain a constant year-round temperature of 50 to 57.2° F. This temperate environment is the ideal place in which to mature our cheeses to perfection.
