From Quiz: Wheel of Cheese and Crackers
Answer: Blue Stilton
There are two varieties of Stilton cheese, the Blue and the White. Cheese has to be produced in any one of the three listed counties and made to specification to be called Stilton. A cheese which is recognized as Stilton must have a cylindrical shape, form its own crust, contain delicate blue veins which radiate from the centre and be unpressed. Of course, the taste must be distinctly Stilton.

To be precise, ricotta cheese is not a cheese, but a cheese by-product or dairy product, because of the process by which it is made. It is, however, dealt with as a cheese. Ricotta is a soft, mild creamy white cheese, which is relatively low in fat and salt. It is often used in dishes such as lasagna, cannelloni, pancakes, cheesecake or cannoli. It can be interchanged with dry cottage cheese in certain recipes.
The process for making ricotta is fairly simple: The whey is allowed to ferment at room temperature, increasing it's acidity, then cooked to the near-boiling point. The proteins solidify into curds which are then strained. Alternatively, omitting the fermentation, an acidic agent is added to the whey, then the whey is 'recooked'.

Answer: None - if you have a large pot, a slotted spoon, and a thermometer, you are good to go.
While all of the specialized equipment listed above would be really nice to have, you really only need basic kitchen equipment to begin making cheese. I have spent maybe a grand total of a hundred bucks, if that, on equipment, and my cheesemaking is still very successful. A pH meter is a great help if you can afford it, but remember that people have been making cheese for millennia. All you really need is something to heat the milk in and something to stir it with, plus a thermometer (unless you are already expert at gauging the temperature of liquids with your finger).

From Quiz: Wheel of Cheese and Crackers
Answer: Milk, culture, rennet, and salt.
All that is required to make good cheese is milk, rennet (a coagulation enzyme), culture (for acidification of the milk to prepare it for coagulation and so it will not spoil), and salt. The salt is not optional -- not only is it crucial for the preservation of the cheese, it is also very important for the proper growth of the bacteria in the cultures.

Answer: Camembert
With a white rind and a yellowy, runny inside, Camembert is a delicious soft cheese that was purportedly first made in the late eighteenth century. When baked, Camembert becomes even gooier and is perfectly accompanied by cranberry sauce and/or crusty bread. On the surface, Camembert looks remarkably similar to Brie, but a connoisseur will be able to tell the difference, the most notable being that Camembert tends to be sold whole while Brie is sold as a cut-out from a larger wheel. Camembert also tends to taste stronger than Brie due to the differences in ripening conditions. Furthermore, both cheeses originate from different regions of France. Believe it or not, camembert also forms part of another terrible cheese-based joke. How do you coax a cheese-loving bear out of his cave? Camembert.
