Waterloo is a yummy, semi-soft cheese made from cow's milk. It comes from a place called Riseley in Berkshire, United Kingdom. A company named Village Maid Cheese Ltd makes this special cheese.
How Waterloo Cheese Is Made
Waterloo cheese is a bit like the famous brie cheese. It's made using full-fat milk from Guernsey cattle. This milk is unpasteurised, which means it hasn't been heated to kill germs. This helps give the cheese its unique taste and texture.
After the cheese is made, it needs to get older. This process is called aging or affinage. Waterloo cheese ages for about 4 to 10 weeks. During this time, it develops its creamy texture and rich flavour. It also has a fat content of 45%.
