La Vache qui Rit
La vache qui rit is french for 'the laughing cow.' It is the name of a brand of cheese that was introduced to me during my years of high school french. The kind I tried was a Swiss cheese spread packed into bite size wedges. It comes in various flavors, one I've tries is garlic and herb. It so delicious! The Swiss spread is really on fresh warm bread, toasted breads, bagels, crackers and more.
The cheese is produced by a french company, whose headquarters is in Paris, France. The french are very famous for the fine cheeses. I was able to try a few different kinds in high school french classes and The Laughing Cow cheese was my favorite!
This company also makes a few other products which I have tried on my own. One of my favorites is the Gourmet Cheese and Baguettes. They are these little crunchy bread sticks packaged with some of that Swiss cheese spread. I like to think of it as a fancy gourmet style of the popular Handi-Snack crackers and cheese by KRAFT, which I also enjoy. I prefer to eat the Swiss cheese spread at a cold temperature, but I know people who like it at room temperature. I suggest you try it and decide for yourself what it best. Many of these products can be found in the cheese section of your local supermarkets.

My high school French experience was also where I was introduced to many many kinds of cheese. My teacher liked to do food days and she would bring in all kinds of "exotic" French cheeses and we would sample. We would usually have some nutella too, we never really missed an excuse to have some of that chocolate deliciousness!
Those little cheese triangle things are disgusting haha. They are too soft/weirdly flavored to be an acceptable cheese.
