For example, the [[Blue Feather Cafe]] in [[Arcadia]] sells a fruit and cheese platter, with the cheese described as "a mouth-watering collection of half a dozen different hues and textures, from a soft, creamy herbed cheese to a firm, aged white wedge." | ||
:NOTE: The term "goat cheese" may encompass any sort of goat's cheese, but typically covers all varieties of the real world equivalent, ''chèvre''. Goat's milk may also be used as an alternative milk source for other types of cheeses. Do adjust your recipe accordingly for such situations. | |||

|Camel milk (See also: Cheese curds) | |||
|Cheese curds | |||
|It is more difficult to create cheese from camel's milk than from the milk of any other animal. Therefore cheese from the milk of camels (such as the ones in [[El'Jazira]]) will almost always result in the form of ''cheese curds''. Any animal able to produce milk, however, has the ability to make cheese curds. | |||

The cheese typically has a sharp, full flavour with pungent hints of earthy hazelnut. Its colour ranges from palest yellow to nearly orange and is the product of grass-fed cows. | ||

| | |hard table cheese, Petran table cheese | ||
| | |Sold in the [[Horseshoe_Inn]] and described as: Yellow and hard, this chunk of cheese looks only semi-appetising. Its crumbly character indicates that it is probably a bit too dried-out for this type of cheese. When aged appropriately, however, this semi-hard, cow's milk cheese cheese is similar to cheddar but softer and moister resulting in a milder sweet and nutty flavour. It typically works better as a table cheese, sliced for sandwiches, grated for grilling, and as a standalone snack. It is sometimes mixed with other hard cheese to create ''a marbled blend of pale yellow and orange hard cheeses''. | ||

|Goat cheese ([[Dwarf|Dwarven]]) | |||
|Ihnbirian goat cheese, Siroccian goat cheese, or any other variety of Dwarven goat cheese | |||
|Due to the cold and mountainous terrain of Inbhir Ness and the Siroccian mountains, hard varieties of goat cheese are more prevalent among dwarven communities. The salty and tart flavours of dwarven goat cheese are augmented by the presence of their rind which adds a hint of powdery nuttiness. | |||
