Ode to Cheese

[Neapolitan Ice Cream]

Oh, noble curd in myriad forms,
In dairy realms where taste transforms.
From alpine peaks to coastal breeze,
A symphony of flavors, oh, cheese!

Parmesan, aged and divine,
Grated gold, a treasure mine.
Sprinkled on pasta, a culinary tease,
Eternal love affair with thee, oh, cheese!

Cheddar, sharp and bold embrace,
Aged to perfection, a savoury grace.
Melted on bread or paired with peas,
A comforting melody, oh, cheese!

Soft brie, a velvet kiss,
Wrapped in rind, pure cheese bliss.
Spread on crackers with gentle ease,
A luscious journey, oh, cheese!

Blue veins of Roquefort, bold and strong,
A pungent dance, where legends throng.
On crusty bread, a taste that frees,
A symphony of boldness, oh, cheese!

Gouda, with its golden hue,
Mild and smooth, a delight to pursue.
Melted fondue, an alpine tease,
A fond farewell to winter's freeze.

Mozzarella, fresh and light,
A pizza's crown, a cheese delight.
Stretching strands that aim to please,
In every bite, a taste of ease.

Camembert, a creamy dream,
Soft indulgence, a culinary stream.
Spread on apples with gentle ease,
A divine encounter, oh, cheese!

From feta's crumble to Swiss's holes,
Each cheese a story that the palate extols.
In the dairy realm where pleasure keys,
Resides the kingdom, oh, cheese!

So here's a toast to curds so dear,
In every texture, every flavour clear.
A culinary masterpiece, a timeless whey,
Oh, cheese, you brighten every day!

I love the ode! I can’t have gluten but I’m so thankful that I can eat dairy as it would be so much harder to give up. Cheese rocks!!
