All The Cheese You Might Want
Even though Americans love cheese, the United States has nothing on Germany or France in terms of cheese production. In these two European countries, the cheese selection tends to be much bigger than what you will find in a typical American store. As a matter of fact, Germany is the biggest producer of the dairy product within the European Union. The country produces 2.2 million tons of cheese each year! This explains why you will find a lot of rows of cheese of all kinds in the supermarkets.
Milk Outside Of The Fridge
By now, you already know that Europeans do not typically store their eggs in the refrigerator. This one is going to sound weird, but French milk is typically stored outside the fridge as well. Let us explain why this is the case. The French pasteurize dairy products at very high temperatures. This is the reason the milk can be stored at regular room temperature for weeks as long as the product has not been opened.
