What you can do with Cheese Lover

Every feature below is in the app today, shown in a real screenshot. The library, your journal, label reading and one tasting flight at no cost.

Look up nearly 1,000 cheeses

Each of 995 cheeses from 70 countries has its milk, whether it's raw or pasteurized, its style, rind, aging, strength and protected-origin status. A short write-up and a tasting note come with every one.

Browse by style or country and filter by milk and strength
A short guide to each of the twelve styles
Wines, beers, ciders and spirits that suit each cheese

AI suggestions need iOS 27 and a device with Apple Intelligence

Keep a journal of every wedge
