The first time I came to China, over 10 years ago, cheese was a difficult product to find. Athletes won’t have to worry however, as they will be served Californian cheese made by the California Milk Advisory Board.

They will even get to choose from California’s Swiss, Gouda, Cottage, Ricotta and Mozzarella cheeses. The U.S. team upset the Olympic organizers last year by saying that they would bring their own food to the Olympics. I suppose now, their cheese supplies will be well looked after.

Check out their site for some great cheese recipes.
