7 Countries That Eat The Most Cheese In The World

6. Romania

Even with a low purchasing power, Romania cheese consumption is still relatively high at 46 lbs annually. A viable option for most people in Romania is buying unpackaged cottage cheese from farmers markets and production farms directly. Besides the reduced unit price, there is also the belief that this kind of cheese is healthier than the packaged varieties. Higher cheese consumption was concentrated in large towns from modern chains, while inhabitants of smaller towns relied on the farmers markets.
