Where is the cabin cheese? The fourth-floor-walkup cheese? Give me the fancy mansion cheese. Or skyscraper cheese, ooh la la.
Leave the bathhouse cheese alone, though

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
Roquefort-sur-Soulzon would have taken its name from a fortress, too, so that counts.
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.
if you do it you legally have to buy one cheese wheel at the cheese auction there
Goo-da is almost a pokémon

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.

Here is how the Dutch say Gouda, with Van Gogh thrown in as a bonus.
Named after the process.
But not in a cheddar!
Roquefort is indeed a nice village in south-western France
And Cheddar is a village in southern England
European cheese villages, unite!
I think it would be easier to list the French cheeses that are NOT named after a place.
Maasdam and Gouda (among others) are towns.
But not buildings!
You know how we say that Mushrooms are the largest organisms on earth, because the Mycelium is interconnecting all through the forest and we only see the fruiting bodies?
Well, most reasonably modern towns have all their buildings connected by the fresh water and sewage pipes and possibly gas-pipes. I’ll exclude electricity, because the cables don’t really have a volume they enclose.
So you could argue that most towns in Europe are indeed a building.
Nice. Is there an europe cheese? ( Not “European”, but “europe”)
