Cheeses taste different because of how they're made. When milk is turned into cheese, tiny creatures called bacteria and molds start working, some make it sour, others make it creamy or even smelly. If you leave cheese in a cool place for a long time, those little helpers keep changing the flavor like magic.
Examples
- Cheddar tastes sharp because it's aged in dry caves
- Brie feels soft because it's covered with a creamy rind
- Blue cheese smells strong because mold grows inside it
