We spoke about wine in episode 210 and what better podcast to go with wine than cheese. Do you have a favourite cheese? You’ll learn about some different types of cheeses and some cheese idioms in this episode of Aprender Inglés with Reza and Craig.
5-star review on iTunes from Gina Correa from Brazil
Even though it’s an English podcast for Spanish people that want to learn English, I as a Brazilian am simply loving to take a ride with Spanish people.
I have recently discovered these amazing podcasts, and they are literally just perfect, because with their chat they can transmit information about English that I have been searching for in traditional courses for years.
And best of all, with a good and great spontaneous mood. Congratulations and thanks both of you, Reza and Craig for sharing your good didactic humor with us !

Cheese……I love cheese, of course with a glass of good red wine!!! You know, in Italy we have more than 400 different types of cheese (something like France), between them 50 are DOP (protected designation of origin). The best buffalo mozzarella comes from southern Italy , Parmesan comes from the north (Parma of course), there are lots of types coming from the mountain regions, but every region has many many different types, fresh, aged, smoked or not, and we also have a famous type called Gorgonzola that has mold (is it correct in english?) inside. Maybe you tasted it on top of a pizza!!! We have cheese aged in cave, covered by ash, erbs, sometimes berries; there are of course cow, sheep, buffalo, goat cheese. And….just to finish, I’m sure you would appreciate cheese from Alba, do you remember? Truffle….Barolo….Nutella…..Bye Bye, Alberto
Yes, Alberto. I know how good Italian cheeses can be. However, I haven’t tasted many of them. I’m sure there are lots of Italian cheeses I need to try. I love good buffalo mozzerella with some fresh tomatoes and olive oil, although sadly it isn’t easy to find good quality mozzarella here.
Hi Alberto. Sorry I didn’t reply earlier, but I’ve been away. I LOVE Italian cheeses too, including Gorgonzola (with the blue mold), Parmesan, Mozarrella di bufala campana, Mascarpone, Gran Padano, and, a more recent discovery for me, Scamorza – that lovely smoked, pear-shaped one! Delicious. I’ve also tried very good ones with truffle, but I can’t remember the name. And the best accompaniment possible is a nice glass of Italian red wine. Mmmmm….
