Pub cheese would like a word.

What makes you think it's the building naming the cheese and not the cheese naming the building? Why can't we live in roqueforts, in masdaams, in cheddars?
I live in The Tower of BabyBelon
Bad news about the tower, guys... :-/
I was going to joke that Id prefer to live in a Jarlsberg, but when looking up Jarlsberg to spell it correctly I discovered its named for Jarlsberg Manor, which is (and this is true) a building
The more you know
You can live in Cheddar. Nice town, good hiking opportunities.
Or Gouda. For extra fun while you're there, pronounce Gouda the way it's typically said in English and watch the Dutchies flinch as little parts of their soul leave their bodies.
Goo-da is almost a pokémon
if you do it you legally have to buy one cheese wheel at the cheese auction there
Wait, how is it supposed to be pronounced?
GHOW-da is about the closest English approximation. The G sound is quite different in Dutch though.
We actually call it ‘Goudse kaas’, though. ‘Gouda’ is just the city of Gouda.
I wasn't going to get into how we form possessives; it will confuse and scare them.
It works the same in English, though, just with the suffix ‘-ish’ (and a number of other suffixes) instead of Dutch ‘-se’. You could literally translate ‘Goudse kaas’ as ‘Goudish cheese’, Gouda just never gets the ‘-ish’ suffix (or any suffix at all, really) in English.

Here is how the Dutch say Gouda, with Van Gogh thrown in as a bonus.
Maasdam and Gouda (among others) are towns.
There's another: Höhlenkäse (= Cave Cheese)
Your mom's got cave cheese
This looks like a cheese that went to college and graduated summa cum latte.
Isn't that cheddar? Or whatever the european continent version is? The name of the cheese changes depending on whether they cover the cheese with cheesecloth, burlap, plastic/wax, or bared before leaving it in a cave? https://culturecheesemag.com/recipes/diy/age-appropriate-make-cheese-cave/ or https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2337837/The-cheese-cave-Damp-conditions-Welsh-countryside-ideal-place-store-maturing-cheddars.html
If I remember correctly, most of the modern aging processes try to mimic natural caves, since we just don't have enough of the real thing to age all of our cheese.
Better than head cheese. Ewww
Better than dick cheese. Ewww.
There once was a surgeon named Keith, who circumcised men with his teeth. It was not for leisure, or sexual pleasure, but to get to the cheese underneath.
“I like cottage cheese. That is why I want to try other dwelling cheeses, too. How about studio apartment cheese? Mobile home cheese?"
I want condo cheese
My dumbass brain just thought that's not true, there is "Hüttenkäse" in German... Which is cottage cheese. 🤦🏼♂️
All cheese is made by bacteria who live there, so it's pretty much a building to them!
So I hereby define every cheese by relationship to a building.
(I'm fun at parties.)
Most other cheeses are named after regions that had the specific cultures, climate conditions, and artisinal practices necessary to produce that particular cheese. Cottage cheese is just sorta the base cheese that any old peasant can make in their cottage.
