🧀法國布里起司（Brie）-白黴乳酪 White-mold cheese
此起司屬於白黴乳酪的一種，以牛奶或者羊奶發酵製成。被稱為是「乳酪之王」，深獲法國王室的喜愛，其中最有名的就是路易16世，據說他連人生的最後一餐也要求要享用布里起司。
聞起來有淡淡的蘑菇香氣，切開後即可看到漂亮的乳黃色起司，放入嘴裡隨著唾液在嘴裡和起司融化，會有濃而不膩的香氣，也是小花園的招牌起司，不愧為乳酪之王。
🍹建議飲品：
布里起司的濃厚奶油口感搭配清爽的白葡萄酒或氣泡酒是一個絕佳的組合。白葡萄酒的酸度能夠中和起司的油膩感，而氣泡酒則能增添些許清新氣息，將整體味覺體驗提升到另一個層次。
Brie belongs to the category of white-mold cheeses, made from cow's or sheep's milk through fermentation. Known as the "king of cheeses," it has long been beloved by the French royalty, most notably by Louis XVI, who reportedly requested to enjoy Brie cheese even during his last meal.
It emits a faint aroma of mushrooms and, when sliced, reveals a beautiful creamy yellow cheese. Upon melting in the mouth along with saliva, it exudes a rich yet non-greasy flavor. Brie cheese is also the signature cheese of the Little graze Garden, truly living up to its title as the king of cheeses.
🍹Recommended beverages:
The rich creamy texture of Brie cheese pairs excellently with crisp white wine or sparkling wine. The acidity of white wine helps balance the cheese's richness, while the effervescence of sparkling wine adds a refreshing touch, elevating the overall taste experience to another level.

🧀英國白切達（English White Cheddar）- 半硬質乳酪 Semi hard cheese
切達乳酪源自12世紀時英國西南部的切村，是目前全世界產量最多的一種乳酪，特色是在製作上運用了特殊的堆釀法製成。
所謂的堆釀，就是將凝乳切成條狀後，不斷反覆堆疊，以達到進一步去除乳清的製程。經過堆釀後的凝乳會再進一步碾磨，撒鹽後入模，最後再經過重壓、長時間熟成才完成。經過堆釀的乳酪，在成品上會有易於分層的特殊質地，是切達乳酪的一個特色。
🍹建議飲品：
英國白切達的豐富口感和濃厚的風味最適合搭配一些具有酸度和清爽口感的飲品，可以幫助中和乳酪的油膩感，使口感更加平衡。此外，淡淡的啤酒也是一個不錯的選擇，其氣泡和微妙的苦味可以提升乳酪的風味，創造出一種和諧的口感平衡。如果喜歡紅酒，則可以選擇柔和且帶有果香的紅酒，這樣可以讓紅酒的口感與乳酪的濃郁風味相輔相成，提升整體的味覺享受。
Cheddar cheese originated from the village of Cheddar in southwest England during the 12th century and is currently the most produced cheese worldwide. It is known for its use of a unique cheddaring process during production.
The cheddaring process involves repeatedly stacking and turning the curds to further expel whey. The resulting curds are then milled, salted, pressed into molds, and finally undergo a lengthy aging process. Cheddar cheese, produced through the cheddaring process, typically exhibits a unique texture that easily crumbles into layers, which is a distinctive characteristic of Cheddar cheese.
🍹Recommended beverages:
The rich texture and intense flavor of British white Cheddar are best paired with beverages that have acidity and a refreshing taste, helping to balance out the cheese's richness. Additionally, a light beer is also a good option, as its bubbles and subtle bitterness can enhance the cheese's flavor, creating a harmonious balance of tastes. If you prefer red wine, opt for a smooth and fruity red wine that can complement the cheese's intense flavor, enhancing the overall taste experience.
