Arvudest rääkides ei tohiks mainimata jätta ka maailma suurimaid juustusid. Esimene sellelaadne rekord pärineb 1840. aastast, kui Briti kuninganna Victoria abiellus Saksa printsi Albert von Sachsen-Coburg-Gothaga.

Head juustu on osatud teha ja tehakse tänini. Juustu kvaliteet sõltub sellest, kuidas juustu valmistatakse
