The Kitchen helper site could look nicer, but when it comes to information, it's concise and useful. After you are done reading about the different types of English and Welsh cheese, click on Cheeseboard, and scroll to the bottom, where you'll find a number useful links to help furnish the accompaniments to the cheese your cheese board. Things like uncommon fruits and herbs (not only for your spreads, but also necessary for cheese omelets).

The site is not devoted to cheese, but has a nice little section on the history of French cheese, along with a few tips and recipes.
- French Cheese: The Best of the French Cheeses
This is a site that sells cheeses (also a cheese and wine club). The main reason, however, for including it here is that there's plenty to learn here about cheese. See the cheese library with over 150 entries.
- French Cheese: The AOC's French Cheeses
This is another commercial site (and English too) setup for the purpose of promoting French cheese and ALSO letting the Brits know where to go buy the 40 AOL certified cheeses. What's the AOC?
The AOC is a certifying body that attempts to guarantee the highest quality of cheeses from France. There are four criteria used, and these folks mean business! Out of 500, only 40 are certified by AOC. ! So what's useful here? Check out the three main categories of cheese mild | medium | strong | and also see the A-Z of French Cheese glossary which seems to be made up of ten main topics including cheese regions in France, and recipes.

If you click on one particular part of this site, let that be the Cheese Chart, because from there, you can select a cheese and then select either recipes, parings (what fruit, wine or beer goes best with it), heritage, and nutritional (not always correct because every brand of cheese has a different fat content). It's still useful. Here's an example for Asiago. Wisconsin Cheese Makers Assoc. Ever had a really aged piece of Wisconsin cheddar. Were talking three years or more. You should! It's really holds its own.
