BENGAL'S OWN CHEESE

This cheese also gets its name from its place of origin — Bandel, a small town 50km north of Kolkata ,India . Available in two varieties — plain (white in colour) and smoked (brown in colour) — Bandel cheese comes in small rounds and is well-salted to be stored. 

They are available only in a couple of shops in Calcutta’s New Market .

Now production has shifted to the villages of Tarakeshwar and Bishnupur while it is sold in New Market at J.Johnson, a store selling it for four generations alongside imported cheese
Today, the production is concentrated in the towns of  Tarakeswar and Bishnupur , Bankura near Kolkata , West Bengal India
