Answer 5

246 according to Charles De Gaulle, who is quoted in "Les Mots du General" as saying "How can you govern a country which has 246 varieties of cheese?"

The most common type by sheer volume produced is probably fromage blanc (also called fromage frais or fromage maquée). It is a simple cheese made by adding rennet or starter culture to milk as with most cheese. but that is then the end of it. It is not processed further (although cream is sometimes beaten in to enrich it) and is never aged or cured as with most other cheese.

Answer 6

Too many to count.
