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
