    Milking cows do better in cool temperatures, so it makes sense. The tropics don’t support milking cows as I understand it.

      I was in Colombia recently, (in the andes, not in the jungle though), but loads of cows there. They put cheese in everything. Even in their chocolate MILK.

        Much of Columbia is at elevation, the temperature falls 3.5 degrees freedom (fahrenheit) for every 1,000 feet of elevation gain. Bogota is like 60 degrees year round, as I recall, or is it one of the others. But parts of Colombia are perfect for milk cows indeed regardless.

          It was less disgusting as expected, and i’m glad i did that once. I don’t think someone can convince me to try again, but they are right: it’s a contrast of flavours and textures (which i guess, i do like).

          Their standard cheese is to me like feta cheese but from cow milk. So fresh cheese, but also salty. On a scale soft to hard i’d say you it’s so soft you can’t cut a neat slice but hard enough it keeps shape when you cut it.
