ve, with the
passing of time. _See_ Cheddar states and Cheddar types in Chapter 4.

Americano Romano
_U.S.A._

Hard; brittle; sharp.

Amou
_Bearn, France_

Winter cheese, October to May.

Anatolian

Anchovy Links
_U.S.A._

American processed cheese that can be mixed up with anchovies or any
fish from whitebait to whale, made like a sausage and sold in handy
links.

Ancien Imperial
_Normandy, France_

Soft; fresh cream; white, mellow and creamy like Neufchatel and made
in the same way. Tiny bricks packaged in tin foil, two inches square,
one-half inch thick, weighing three ounces. Eaten both fresh and when
ripe. It is also called Carre and has separate names for the new and
the old: (a) Petit Carre when newly made; (b) Carre Affine, when it
has reached a ripe old age, which doesn't take long--about the same
time as Neufchatel.

Ancona _see_ Pecorino.

Andean
_Venezuela_

A cow's-milker made in the Andes near Merida. It is formed into rough
cubes and wrapped in the pungent, aromatic leaves of _Frailejon
Lanudo_ (_Espeletia Schultzii_) which imparts to it a characteristic
flavor. (Description given in _Buen Provecho!_ by Dorothy Kamen-Kaye.)

Andechs
_Bavaria_

A lusty Allgaeuer type. Monk-made on the monastery hill at Andechs on
Ammersee. A superb snack with equally monkish dark beer, black bread
and blacker radishes, served by the brothers in dark brown robes.

Antwerp
_Belgium_

Semihard; nut-flavored; named after its place of origin.

Appenzeller
_Switzerland, Bavaria and Baden_

Semisoft Emmentaler type made in a small twenty-pound wheel--a
pony-cart wheel in comparison to the big Swiss. There are two
qualities: (a) Common, made of skim milk and cured in brine for a
year; (b) Festive, full milk, steeped in brine with wine, plus white
wine lees and pepper. The only cheese we know of that is ripened with
lees of wine.

Appetitost
_Denmark_

Semisoft; sour milk; nutlike flavor. It's an appetizer that lives up
to its name, eaten fresh on the spot, from the loose bottom pans in
which it is made.

Appetost
_Denmark_

Sour buttermilk, similar to Primula, with caraway seeds added for
snap. Imitated in U.S.A.

Apple
_U.S.A._

A small New York State Cheddar put up in the form of a red-cheeked
apple for New York City trade. Inspired by the pear-shaped Provolone
and Baby Gouda, no doubt.

Arber
_Bohemia_

Semihard; sour milk; yellow; mellow and creamy. M
