“American” cheese (or processed cheese) is cheese food.

There are many very good cheeses made in the U.S., including domestic versions of French & Italian cheeses: the main differences are the specific cheese starters and aging processes - small-batch/craft cheeses are closer to European, but we don’t have the caves with walls covered with the same bacteria.

I have not found cheese comparable to Canadian cheese, yet, in the USA. More specifically cheddars or aged cheddars

I'll keep looking

Now you have me curious about europe cheese

Stop in a Wegmans and check out their Cheese World: cheeses from all over, including Vermont.

Cabot makes a nice 3 year cheddar. Also have 5 year & 10 year.

Just a question for you alcohol ‘experts’.

I bought a bottle of ‘Scottish Single Malt’ when we first went to Scotland in 1993.
I have never opened the bottle.

Do you think it is stilll GOOD ?

Absolutely perfect. The ageing process happens in the barrels as the tannins from the oak and peat work their magic. After bottling, there is no change at all. So theres no point in claiming a 1980 Glenmorangie is 45 years old. It isnt! If it was bottled after 12 years in oak, then it is a 12 year old malt. Doesn't matter when you bought it!
