The Fossa cheese from Sogliano received the PDO recognition in 2009. Herrgard cheese is the most popular cheese in Sweden. The Mahón-Menorca variety is a half-fat to full-fat pressed cheese which varied from semi-hard to hard cheese according to its ripening time. Full-fat pressed cheese made from Majorero goat's milk which varied from semi-hard to hard cheese, according to its ripening time.
