Types of cheese
- Arabellan Cheddar
- Described as "the most popular cheddar cheese of the Sea of Fallen Stars". It is a sturdy, orange cheese that travels very well.[2]
- Chessentan Lotus Cheese
- Popular in Chessenta and in the empires on the southeastern side of the Sea of Fallen Stars. It is mixed with lotus flower petals, although there are other Chessentan cheeses that are mixed with rose or honeysuckle petals.[2]
- Death Cheese
- Made from the milk of catoblepas; produced by monks who hire adventurers to herd and milk the deadly catoblepas.[2]
- Damarite Red
- Also known as Bloodcheese. It comes from the lands of the Bloodstone. Made from goat's milk, it has a sharp, hearty, pungent tang.[2]
- Elturian Grey
- Reminiscent of blue cheese, but with black veins. It is also known as stonework or dwarfcheese, and has a pungent flavor.[3]
- Farmer's Cheese
- Also known as pot cheese or cottage cheese. It does not travel well, so is mostly consumed locally.[3]
- Green Calishite
- Made by the Calishites, who mix curry into their cheeses to enhance the flavor. It has an aquamarine hue due to the curry, and is extremely spicy.[3]
- Luiren Spring Cheese
- Also known as Halfling's Cheese, or mind cheese. It is pungently aromatic and soft. Although not very tasty to humans, it has a profound effect on halflings, who react to it as they would a strong wine or narcotic.[4]
- Mist Cheese
- Produced in Loudwater Vale. It is a rich, soft white cheese that becomes translucent when sliced thinly. It is also called Ethereal Cheese by the elves.[5]
- Nut Cheeses
- Most prevalent in Silverymoon, Mirabar, Sundabar, and the other cities of the Savage Frontier. They are a way to preserve un-shelled nuts (such as hickory nuts, walnuts, and chestnuts).[5]
- Pepper Cheese
- A tangy, supple cheese created by mixing southern spices with a mixture of goat and cow cheese. The rind is leathery and dotted with peppercorns.[5]
- Sjorl
- A heavy, smoky cheese from Rashemen.[6]
- Turmish Brick
- A cheese mixed with the heavy red wine that is common among the Turmish. It is a sweet, crumbly, burgundy cheese, wrapped in red wax, and has a distinctive rectangular shape.[7]
- Vilhon Blanc
- A lighter cheese than Turmish Brick, since it is made with a lighter wine. It has a sweet, delicate flavor. The cheese is typically consumed locally, and is rarely found beyond the Sea of Fallen Stars or Sembia.[7]
- Vilksmaarg
- A salty, pungent, herbal goat cheese, produced in Vilkstead, capital of Utheraal. Popular in Sword Coast taverns.[8]
