To the disappointment of some, we have to announce that the best cheese in the world is not French... but Italian! Taste Atlas has unveiled its top 100 best cheeses in the world, and honestly, it makes your mouth water... While Italian cheeses dominate the ranking, fear not, France is represented by the famous reblochon cheese.

If France has more than 1000 cheeses, according to Taste Atlas, it is Italy that produces the best cheese in the world, which is none other than the famous Parmesan. In its ranking of the top 100 cheeses in the world, France only appears in 13th position. However, there is still reason to delight in Haute-Savoie, as it is the Reblochon that is considered the best French cheese according to the ranking. Not to mention the Comté, which takes the 14th place. The Beaufort, Neufchâtel, Saint-Félicien, and Brillat-Savarin respectively rank 31st, 33rd, 34th, and 50th. We are still offended to see our beloved Normandy Camembert in 91st position in the ranking. Italy dominates the podium"Top 10", the undisputed winner is the Parmesan, taking the first place. This Italian cheese par excellence is recognized as one of the oldest and highest quality cheeses in the world! With Gorgonzola in second place and Burrata in third, Italy proves itself as the producer of the best cheeses in the world. It is only in seventh place that another flag appears with Queijo Serra da Estrela, a Portuguese specialty and even the oldest food product in Portugal! Italy is still present in eighth and ninth places, followed by Poland, which completes the top 10 with its "Bundz", a sheep's milk cheese reminiscent of cottage cheese. According to the Taste Atlas ranking. Here are the top 10 best cheeses in the world:
