Does Venezuelan Beaver Cheese exist? How do you milk a beaver, anyway? Does Venezuela even have beavers?

If you’ve never seen or heard of the infamous “Cheese Shop” sketch from Monty Python’s Flying Circus, how have you even survived this long?
It’s like this: There’s a hilarious sketch in the video right down there ↓. But in the very truest of Monty Python tradition, there’s also at least one Easter egg hiding in its torrent of words: John Cleese asks if the cheese shop has any Venezuelan beaver cheese.
I’m at least within smoke signal distance of sanity, so when I first noticed the Venezuelan beaver cheese request, I snerked and rolled my eyes. How silly!
Oops.
Sorry! Can I instead say “absurd”? Okay, great. Thanks!
How absurd. Who could possibly bother researching whether beaver cheese exists?
I throw myself on the mercy of the court; the first time I saw “Cheese Shop” was almost 20 years before the Internet existed.
Okay; so below this paragraph you can enjoy “Cheese Shop,” and under that photo on the right you can inflict a big steamin’ pile of conspiracy theory upon yourself concerning the existence or non-existence of Venezuelan beaver cheese, and below the video right below this paragraph you can see the list of all cheeses mentioned in “Cheese Shop.” Bon appetit!
