I’m using stock images but I am always on the lookout for new cheeses to try whenever I go to the store. Credit to various cheese websites, resources, and sellers for the cheese images and cheese facts. If any of you know some cheeses that I haven’t done yet I would love some input!
Here is your daily cheese facts: This cheese is made by the cheese guy in Okinawa. Fuchiba is a herb commonly eaten with soba or used to flavour Okinawan dishes, such as juushi (seasoned rice), hirayachi (okonomiyaki). Known as yomogi in standard Japanese, fuchiba is an Okinawan dialect word. “Fuchi” means “sickness” and “ba” is leaf. Fuchiba is a medicinal herb, traditionally used in Okinawa for stomach and digestive disorders. It’s interesting that it was used in Europe in a similar way. The herb combines very naturally with the cheese, leaving a thin green marbling and giving a mild sharpness similar to Cheddar. Serve as it is, on a cracker or bread.
Also as a note: I post my daily cheese here as well as in my r/dailycheese subreddit.

Google says there are roughly 1800 varieties of cheese worldwide. You’re coming close to finishing!

Translation note for the curious: yomogi refers to artemisia princeps, a type of mugwort, which is often used in sweets as well as in savory dishes (kusa mochi/ yomogi mochi is easy to find in Japanese and Korean groceries in the US). I’ve never had a yomogi cheese but it’s a very tasty plant when used for flavoring dishes, with a mildly grassy herbal flavor. It’s in the same family (artemisia) as wormwood.

It’s beautiful, like Calacatta marble but better because it’s edible

It’s not too interesting that the same herb was used the same way in two different cultures. After all, it’s used that way because it works.
Also, I love how apparently there’s only one cheese guy in that whole town.
