The cheese thread!

[ajbera]

Camembert on baguettes... mmmm...

There's a wonderful woman on Prince Edward Island, the Gouda Lady, who makes Gouda cheese all the live long day, and they're awesome. Aged gouda is excellent, hard and crumbly, and super sharp.

My friend tells me there is 20-year aged cheddar available, as hard and sharp as aged parmesan. Expensive, though, but probably well worth it.

Cheese, fruit, bread, chocolate, and a fine wine... nothing like it.

That post takes me back to underage drinking in the high school parking lot.

Harzer Roller 4tw! Aromatic, savory and with a wonderful aroma. From its powerful stench the flies fall dead from the wall.

Never had it until two years ago - Asiago cheese.

Feta cheese with Lebanese Spinach and Lentils.

Jarlsburg. Great on a sandwiches.

I'm not a big fan of feta, there's way too much salt.

Depends. If it's "from the barrel" it will be salty. If it's not then it doesn't have so much salt. There is this distinction.

Geitost – A semi-hard cheese from Norway which is made from a blend of goat and cow milk. These is a sweet caramel colored cheese which has a slightly fishy smell to it (I have no idea why). I’ve never had cheese from Norway before but I think it is pretty good.

There's no fish milk in it as far as I know. But who knows...
Try making a geitost/raspberry jam sandwich

BTW, I read somewhere that you Americans eat a ton of Jarlsberg every hour (or something like that), so maybe you have had cheese from Norway after all.

No one mentioned mozzarella? Me likes mozzarella

[BeBMan]

Mozzarella has no taste at all, IMO

Edit: I like Emmenthal(er), how they call it here, too

[Gangerolf]

well maybe it's a bit boring on its own but it's delicious with tomatoes and ham

[chequita guevara]

Emmanthaler is my favorite cheese.

I can't have any moldy cheeses, at least until I go to an allergy specialist and find out what my conflicting test results yet. This makes me sad cuz I love cheese.

[GePap]

I dislike green and blue cheeses.

[Japher]

my favorite cheese just to munch on is Smoked Gouda

[Gangerolf]

head cheese (fromage de tête)
