Today's post is dedicated to a departed friend who believed burned cheese was what people liked most about pizza. Ripley's Believe It or Not was spurred into action on the burning cheese question when a truck hauling cheese caught fire and burned for 4 days. They went about testing many varieties of cheese finding that those with higher moisture content such as mozzarella and American resisted burning and those with higher fat and drier consistency didn't burn as well as they had expected. The burning champs turned out to be Swiss and brie with bleu cheese never really burning but making orange flames as it melted. The cheese that burned for 4 day was a brown goat cheese called brunost and it held the key to the question of what makes cheese burn,the cheese has to have a high sugar content,now you know!
