    There was a whole family named after a cheese. The Munsters.

        Aren’t those cheeses named for people, and not the other way around?

          Colby is named after a town in Wisconsin, which was named after a railroad station which was named after Charles Colby. So in a round about way sort of yes.

          Monterey Jack was named after a town in California and the guy who sold the cheese, David Jacks, so half yes. I’m not entirely sure the origins of Monterey, CA’s name so it could be like a three quarters yes.

      Rockford (“rook” (the bird) + “ford”) is a common American place name

      Rockefeller (from German Rockenfeld <- Rukenvelt “ridge field”) is an American surname

      Rocquefort literally means “fortified rock/cliff”

      I have a friend who named his kids Brie and Colby. He never had a 3rd kid, so I always wondered what other cheese names were out there.

        Had to do a search. Never tried that particular type.

        Stropshire Blue is pretty tough to find in the US but worth the effort. It’s like a strong cheddar with blue cheese veins.

          Sorry 😂. The cheese is Red Leicester, the human is Lester. They are pronounced the same.

          I had some Red Leicester once, but haven’t found it again. It had a flavor similar to strong sharp cheddar, and a soft/creamy texture between fresh cheddar and American cheese, but not as rubbery; more… Friable? Crumbly? It was good.

          I’ll keep an eye out for Stropshire Blue.
