Interesting quiz, although I assume figures weren't available for all countries as Belgium and Luxembourg (possibly Denmark) seem obvious ommissions from the list.

As Charles de Gaulle said, 'How can anyone govern a nation that has two hundred and forty-six different kinds of cheese?' :P Good quiz! I'd not heard of quark before, just looked it up and it looks nice. Mmm... cheese...

didn't realize that cheese was such a European food, seriously all the countries are either in Europe, or are daughter nations of Europeans-we must share this wonderous food with the rest of the world

bicyclerace: Most adult humans are lactose intolerant. Europeans and a few other people really are the exception, which explains a lot.

Greece is surprisingly high. In the top five certainly, as Greek cusine makes EXTENSIVE use of cheese. (you can't have a meal without cheese in a greek restaurant) but number one?

Speaking about cheese, I wonder what tofu/the soy version of cheese would look like... I'd be surprised if China wasn't first, but this result was somewhat surprising too.

Very surprised that the makers of such fine cheeses as Manchego and over 400 other cheeses didn't make the list.

@Ghettoduce- It'snot meant to be taken literally; it refers to any manufacturers of dairy products.

@lalalala: Most adult humans lose the ability to consume milk without getting digestive problems. It's the "normal" way that in all likelihood evolved that way since that would prevent elder siblings from "stealing" breast milk from infants. Some groups of humans, however, have developed a mutation that allows them to safely consume milk and dairy products. Rule of thumb for this: Look north and/or look cattle based society. Wikipedia has a neat little map on this. Since most of the population of the developed world carries that mutation, we tend to not even know it's "special".

Greece will drop dramatically in the rankings when the EU imposes even tighter Feta Austerity measures later this year.
