Cheese

It dawned on me last evening that a number of popular Italian cheeses have feminine names:

Mozzarella

Parmigiana

Ricotta

Fontina

Gorgonzola

This seems odd given the cheese is a masculine noun in the Italian language:

Il formaggio

To make is more confusing, there are Italian cheeses with masculine names as well:

Asiago

Pecorino

Stracchino

Bitto

Crucolo

Taleggio

And a few that are difficult to classify:

Provolone

Mascarpone

So, in conclusion...

Maybe I’d better
