tto is known as White Cheddar.
Green Bay brand is a fine example of it.
White Gorgonzola
This type without the distinguishing blue veins is little known
outside of Italy where it is highly esteemed. (_See_ Gorgonzola.)
White Stilton
_England_
This white form of England's royal blue cheese lacks the aristocratic
veins that are really as green as Ireland's flag.
Whitethorn
_Ireland_
Firm; white; tangy; half-pound slabs boxed. Saltee is the same, except
that it is colored.
Wilstermarsch-Kaese Holsteiner Marsch
_Schleswig-Holstein, Germany_

Itzehoe.
Wiltshire or Wilts
_England_

Wilts.)
Wisconsin Factory Cheeses
_U.S.A._
Have the date of manufacture stamped on the rind, indicating by the
age whether the flavor is "mild, mellow, nippy, or sharp." American
Cheddar requires from eight months to a year to ripen properly, but
most of it is sold green when far too young.
Notable Wisconsiners are Loaf, Limburger, Redskin and Swiss.
Withania
_India_
Cow taboos affect the cheesemaking in India, and in place of rennet
from calves a vegetable rennet is made from withania berries. This
names a cheese of agreeable flavor when ripened, but, unfortunately,
it becomes acrid with age.
Y
Yoghurt, or Yogurt
_U.S.A._
Made with _Bacillus bulgaricus_, that develops the acidity of the
milk. It is similar to the English Saint Ivel.
York, York Curd and Cambridge York
_England_
A high-grade cream cheese similar to Slipcote, both of which are
becoming almost extinct since World War II. Also, this type is too
rich to keep any length of time and is sold on the straw mat on which
it is cured, for local consumption.
Yorkshire-Stilton
_Cotherstone, England_
This Stilton, made chiefly at Cotherstone, develops with age a fine
internal fat which makes it so extra-juicy that it's a general
favorite with English epicures who like their game well hung.
York State
_U.S.A._
Short for New York State, the most venerable of our Cheddars.
Young America
_U.S.A._
A mild, young, yellow Cheddar.
Yo-yo

strings, a New York cheesemonger put out a Cheddar on a string, shaped
like a yo-yo.
