# 2Cellos (album)

2Cellos is the debut studio album by Croatian cello duo 2Cellos. It was released on June 10, 2011, worldwide, through Sony Masterworks. The album peaked at number 1 on the US Billboard Top Classical Albums chart.

## Critical reception

Chad Grischow of IGN Music called the duo's Nirvana cover "astonishing" and the U2 covers "nothing short of magical." However, he was unimpressed by "The Resistance," and wrote that "'Viva La Vida' is too obvious a choice" for their debut album.
Ultimate-Guitar.com, commented on the album's choice of songs as "eclectic ... but the cellists handle a good number of genres easily." The site attributed the album's quality to the fact that the "duo's approach to the majority of the songs is more about texture or a percussive quality ... against flashy, over-the-top tracks."
Allmusic's review noted that the cellists "have created an inventive first offering, with unique and innovative arrangements, that deserves to transcend their YouTube beginnings" and praises their musical talents "which seem to produce sounds from a cello that otherwise wouldn't seem possible."

# Fromager d'Affinois

Fromager d'Affinois (pronounced) is the registered trademark of the French cheese making company Fromagerie Guilloteau based in Pélussin.
This commercial brand produces a range of 30 industrial soft cheeses with a bloomy rind. They are made from cow's, goat's or sheep's milk presented in the form of a 2 kilo wheel, hexagonal in shape and wrapped in printed paper with a breakable label, in six parts. Some of those cheeses are double cream, triple cream, blue, or flavoured (pepper, roasted pumpkin seeds, red chili pepper, black truffle, garlic and herbs…).
Guilloteau uses a process called ultrafiltration. Ultrafiltration removes water from the pasteurised milk, concentrating all other components. Ultrafiltration also results in a milk that retains more nutrients and proteins, and the cheese has a relatively high fat content of 60%. Ultrafiltration also retains the whey proteins in the cheese, and increases the yield in terms of processing volume, reducing the cheese making process from eight weeks to two weeks.

The next week, he was named in the starting team after a late withdrawal from James Tamou, and ran for a game-best 167 metres and made 17 tackles without a miss. He then remained in first grade for the remainder of the season, and was named the club's Rookie of the Year.
