Certoso Stracchino
_Italy, near Milan_

A variety of Stracchino named after the Carthusian friars who have
made it for donkey's years. It is milder and softer and creamier than
the Taleggio because it's made of cow instead of goat milk, but it has
less distinction for the same reason.

Ceva
_Italy_

Soft veteran of Roman times named from its town near Turin.

Chabichou
_Poitou, France_

Soft; goat; fresh; sweet and tasty. A vintage cheese of the months
from April to December, since such cheeses don't last long enough to
be vintaged like wine by the year.

Chaingy
_Orleans, France_

Season September to June.

Cham
_Switzerland_

One of those eminent Emmentalers from Cham, the home town of Mister
Pfister (_see_ Pfister).

Chamois milk

Aristotle said that the most savorous cheese came from the chamois.
This small goatlike antelope feeds on wild mountain herbs not
available to lumbering cows, less agile sheep or domesticated mountain
goats, so it gives, in small quantity but high quality, the richest,
most flavorsome of milk.

Champenois or Fromage des Riceys
_Aube & Marne, France_

Season from September to June. The same as Cendre Champenois and des
Riceys.

_Hautes-Alpes, France_.

Hard; skim-milker.

Chantelle
_U.S.A._

perhaps to fill the demand for a "married man's Limburger."

Chantilly _see_ Hable.

Champagne Province. A kind of Camembert.
