Gouda is listed twice

edit

Gouda is listed as both a Medium-hard cheese and as a Semi-hard or hard cheese, which is good evidence that that classification is imprecise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.18.123.88 (talk) 00:50, 28 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Gouda can be both a medium hard cheese and a hard cheese depending on its quality and age. The commonly encountered red-rinded version is medium hard whereas the less frequently seen black rinded version is both older and harder. Perhaps they should be listed as two different cheeses to avoid confusion.  Velella  Velella Talk   07:57, 28 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Whey cheese

edit

Whey cheese redirects here. Isn't it a contradiction? That's not "cheese", properly speaking, at least not in the Italian definition of cheese (formaggio). --Nemo 14:57, 17 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

This was originally called "Whey cheese", and in 2011, editor(s) decided to have this be the target for a merge of "Types of cheese", to remove the type list from the main "Cheese" article. I guess each type isnt getting its own article at this time. I agree that whey cheese is very different, but that can be mentioned in the body of the article. Most people would say that if its solid and made from milk we can call it some type of cheese. I know that American cheese is NOT cheese, but its gonna be in these articles.76.254.34.67 (talk) 18:46, 13 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
Just now I wrote a new article for whey cheese. AlexanderVanLoon (talk) 15:34, 28 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Stretched curd and Pasta filata

edit

Stretched curd and Pasta filata are synonyms, or Pasta filata is a sub-set of Stretched curd. The 'Stretched curd cheeses' section only talk about Pasta filata. --Mezze stagioni (talk) 11:42, 5 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Munster soft or semi-soft

edit

Munster is is listed as an example under semi-soft cheeses, but the page the link takes you to calls it (I think rightfully so) a soft cheese. Maybe the writer was confused with Muenster? Which is a semi-soft cheese.

I'm new to editing, so didn't want to go ahead and change it without others agreeing. Sifdare (talk) 05:41, 10 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
