Kalimpong cheese is a cow's milk cheese made in Kalimpong, a hill town in West Bengal, India. The wheels are round, with a smooth rind and a pale interior that can crumble slightly at the center. Young cheese is mild, a little acidic, and not strongly scented. It is a local pressed cheese, closer to a simple table cheese than to a pungent washed rind. Production stays small, so it is not a cheese you should expect in an ordinary supermarket abroad.
