regional cheese

Area-specific curd product

Regional cheese is cheese associated with a particular geographic area, often made according to local traditions using local milk and methods.

The term emphasizes place-based identity and artisanal production: We sampled regional cheeses from the Pyrenees.

Many regional cheeses carry protected designations that restrict where they can be produced.
