3D Yuri Wedding 2026 @cyan@vt.socialGrowing up Asian, I thought cheese was supposed to be sweet.
Tom & Jerry really convinced me that giant Emmental wedges were basically dessert 
Moving to the US gave me a reality check.
Still low-key want to invent sweet cheese 
@cyan cheese is still awesome and I would absolutely destroy a wedge of cheese
3D Yuri Wedding 2026 @cyan@rogueren I’ll compromise for cream cheese
is sweet 
@cyan Switzerland has sweet cheeses. Although most have Pinaple or fruit in them. But cheese goes really well with different fruits. Like goats cheese with Figs and Honey
@cyan what would you do if Lina gave you an entire wheel of cheese
3D Yuri Wedding 2026 @cyan@synthfi I will save it all for her XD
@Chalkllate@yeen.town@cyan@vt.social there are sweet cheeses! Most are soft cheeses like cream cheese/cheesecake but theres definitely ones made primarily for dessert
@cyan Cheese was never supposed to be sweet in the grand scheme of things.
That said, there are some sweet cheeses. In America, Sierra Nevada branded goat cheese seems sweet, being just goat's milk.
@cyan cheese tastes pretty great with sweet flavors! In northern Italy it's typical to use candied fruits (mostarda, which is not mustard), honey, fruit jam or sweet fruits like grapes to give cheese a twist. It's the best!!
@cyan Try gjetost or brunost. They are Norwegian; and technically they're not cheese, as cheese is made from the curds, while gjetost and brunost are made from boiling down a mix of whey (what's left over after you remove the cheese curds) along with some milk and cream.
It's boiled down until the sugars in it caramelize slightly, and it has a sweet, slightly nutty flavor, but it has a texture like cheese.
Apparently it's become popular in South Korea recently, so you might be able to get your hands on some.
Oh, also, cheese is considered a dessert frequently; it's not sweet, but it's rich and delicious.
@cyan
There are several sweet cheeses.
Brunost, Mascarpone, Gouda...
@cyan Come to Canada and ask for "Camembert". It's like Brie but more so.
(You can't get it in America. It's illegal there.)
@ozzelot @mcc @cyan America has camembert style cheeses, but official AOC (appellation d'origine contrôlée) Camembert has to come from Normandy and be made from unpasteurized milk, while the US only allows the use of unpasteurized milk in cheeses aged considerably longer than Camembert. So what you get in the US as Camembert is made from pasteurized milk.
@cyan@vt.social There is sweet cheese! Mascarpone is what you're looking for
