What's in a Cheese?

There are many kinds of cheese around the world, at least I have that information just a while ago. I only know 2 or 3 of its kind. But too surprised there are plenty of them. Who can blame me? I'm not fond of cheese since when? Since childhood. I cannot remember myself binging on it just like other kids do. OK, to be fair I have eaten cheese on a bread, cheese-flavored pizza, spaghetti with cheese on top and others which has cheese. But I can't say its my favorite..
