Types of cheese

 * Arabellan cheddar : Described as "the most popular cheddar cheese of the Sea of Fallen Stars". It was a sturdy, orange cheese that travels very well.
 * Chessentan lotus cheese : Was popular in Chessenta and in the empires on the southeastern side of the Sea of Fallen Stars. It was mixed with lotus flower petals, although there were other Chessentan cheeses that are mixed with rose or honeysuckle petals.
 * Death cheese : Made from the milk of catoblepas. It was produced by monks who hired willing adventurers to herd and milk the deadly catoblepas.
 * Damarite red : Also known as Bloodcheese. It came from the lands of the Bloodstone. Made from goat's milk, it had a sharp, hearty, pungent tang.
 * Elturian grey : Reminiscent of blue cheese, but had black veins. It was also known as stonework or dwarfcheese, and had a pungent flavor.
 * Farmer's cheese : Was also known as pot cheese or cottage cheese. It did not travel well, so was mostly consumed locally.
 * Green calishite : Was made by the Calishites, who mixed curry into their cheeses to enhance the flavor. It had an aquamarine hue due to the curry, and was extremely spicy.
 * Luiren spring cheese : Was also known as Halfling's Cheese, or mind cheese. It was pungently aromatic and soft. Although not very tasty to humans, it had a profound effect on halflings, who reacted to it as they would a strong wine or narcotic.
 * Mist cheese : Was produced in Loudwater Vale. It was a rich, soft white cheese that became translucent when sliced thinly. It was also called Ethereal Cheese by the elves.
 * Nut cheeses : Were most prevalent in Silverymoon, Mirabar, Sundabar, and the other cities of the Savage Frontier. They were a way to preserve un-shelled nuts (such as hickory nuts, walnuts, and chestnuts).
 * Pepper cheese : A tangy, supple cheese created by mixing southern spices with a mixture of goat and cow cheese. The rind was leathery and dotted with peppercorns.
 * Sjorl : A heavy, smoky cheese from Rashemen.
 * Turmish brick : A cheese mixed with the heavy red wine that is common among the Turmish. It was a sweet, crumbly, burgundy cheese, wrapped in red wax, and had a distinctive rectangular shape.
 * Vilhon blanc : A lighter cheese than Turmish Brick, since it was made with a lighter wine. It had a sweet, delicate flavor. The cheese was typically consumed locally, and was rarely found beyond the Sea of Fallen Stars or Sembia.
 * Vilksmaarg : A salty, pungent, herbal goat cheese, produced in Vilkstead, capital of Utheraal. It was popular in Sword Coast taverns.
 * Waterdhavian : Was popular and common in Waterdeep. It was also called eyed cheese, holed cheese, or arrow-shot.
 * Yak butter : A mild and delicate cream cheese made from yak milk. It could be found from the Spine of the World to the Hordelands.
