Read full description

Cheesepedia learns your palate and shows you which cheeses you'll truly love before the first bite. Your personal cheese sommelier, for curious food lovers, relaxed hosts and anyone tired of guessing at the cheese counter. YOUR PERSONAL TASTE PROFILE Tell Cheesepedia which cheeses you love and your taste profile takes shape over time, across saltiness, acidity, sweetness, bitterness and umami. Every cheese gets one Taste Match score, explained by the cheese you love that's most like it, and it also learns from the cheeses you didn't like. After three favorites, your Cheese Identity appears. SCAN AND IDENTIFY Point your camera at a cheese and Cheesepedia tries to recognize it from our catalog of 285 cheeses in seconds, showing its tasting notes, origin story, texture and how well it suits you. Scan a wine label and it suggests the cheeses that go with it. DAILY CHEESE CHALLENGE Answer a short cheese quiz every day, keep your streak, earn XP and climb the weekly leaderboard. Stuck? A 50/50 hint removes two wrong answers. PAIR WHAT YOU HAVE Pick the cheeses you have and add whatever else is at home. Get pairings from our selection of 52 wines plus beer, fruit, honey and jam, nuts, bread and alcohol-free drinks, with serving order and temperatures, finished with a short sommelier's note. COMPARE Put two cheeses side by side and see at once how similar they are, what they share and where they differ most. RECIPE LIBRARY Cook 30 hand-picked recipes that suit your favorite cheeses with a step-by-step cooking mode, and save the ones you like to your account. AI RECIPE CREATOR Turn the cheeses you love into restaurant-quality dishes. The AI builds detailed recipes around your cheese, your cooking skills and the ingredients you have. GOURMET BOARD Planning a dinner, a wine night or a special table? Design cheese boards that suit your taste by occasion, number of guests, region and pairing style, and complete them with wine or alcohol-free options. YOUR CHEESE JOURNAL AND MAP Keep track of the cheeses you've tried and want to try, see where they come from on the Cheese Map, and earn badges. EXPLORE THE CATALOG Browse an encyclopedia of 285 cheeses filtered by milk, country, texture and intensity. Discover protected designation badges, ripening details, storage tips and each cheese's character. Swiss cheese information comes from Switzerland Cheese Marketing's official product sheets.
