Dolcelatte
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dolcelatte is a very soft blue cheese from Italy, and melts in the mouth like ice cream. The name Dolcelatte means "sweet milk" in Italian, and this cheese has a corresponding sweet taste.
Exactly.

FETA!:
Feta is soft, white cheese made in Greece. Traditionally it was made with ewe or goat milk, but today is mostly made from pasteurised cows milk. It is solid, but very crumbly, due to the numerous fissures it contains. It has an acidic, salty taste, and is often used in salads
perfect! I love salads.. and I'm pretty acidic, too

It appears that no matter what kind of chese I am, I need to ripen for a number of months.
Using my first and last name, my cheese rating is:
"Your cheese rating is: Meira
Meira is a traditional Iraqi cheese, made from sheeps milk. The curds are cut into strips and matured in a sheepskin bag for between 6 and 12 months."
Using my first, middle and last name, my cheese rating is:
"Your cheese rating is: Red Leicester
A hard, grainy cheese, coloured red with annatto. Red Leiceter ripens quickly, and is typically sold after maturing for 10 - 12 weeks, but can be left to ripen for up to 9 months."

With my (ironically, ethnically Chinese) name, I am the cheese of the (lactose-intolerant) people:
Cheddar is the most famous, and most widely eaten cheese in the world. Cheddar is a hard natual cheese, with a white to pale yellow colour, although some variants have artifical colours added to give a yellow or orange hue. It is matured for between 9 to 24 months, during which is evolves from a mild, smooth cheese to a strong, tangy, slightly crumbly cheese.
Including my middle name, however, I become...French?
Camembert - A soft creamy cheese named after the French village in Normandy in which it was created, by a woman named Marie Harel. It has a crumbly, edible rind, and gets softer as it ripens, giving off that familiar smell for which French cheese became infamous.
Heh.
