different types of cheeses

There are a few different types of cheeses in Melbourne. Most of them orignated from France, but are made here. These are listed below:
1) Brie- (France). Its very creamy. It can be on bread, pizza, anything or it can be eaten plain.
2) Camembert (France). It can be eaten plain
3) Cheddar- It's really hard and woody, but good for toasted sandwiches
4) Fruit cheese- (Australia)- Perfect for snacking and it has dried fruit in it. Because of its sweet taste it is also a desert cheese
5) Swiss (Switzerland)- Its very light in taste and flavour and is good for sandwiches
6) Parmesan (Italy)- very cheesy and is normally sprinkled in pasta. This can be packaged or in blocks.
7) Blue Vein (France)- tastes like blue cheese and has blue spots, resembling blue vein (but these are not real and the cheese is edible)

You can buy individual cheese blocks at the supermarkets and delis for around $4-$11 per piece. Or you can buy them at the Queen Victoria market for 3 for $10
