To you , what are the best kind of cheeses? Mine is Cheddar. What about you?

[debm55]

[lark]

1. Creamy Havarti, Meunster, Colby Cheddar, Jarlsberg.

Love cheese, except not sharp cheese!

[debm55]

5. Thank you lark. Very good choices.

[Ocelot II]

2. Any cheese that doesn't include the actual mold is fine with me.

I especially like sharp cheddar, Stilton and Jarlsberg. Don't like brie or Roquefort.

[debm55]

6. Thank you Ocelot II. I agree.

[Clouds Passing]

3. The white cheddar curds, yummy 😋

And Baby Swiss

[debm55]

8. Thank you Clouds Passing. I don't think I ever had white cheddar curds. Like baby swiss.

[Clouds Passing]

14. I get them at the grocery in the deli cheese section...but these look good

?v=1627928445

[debm55]

16. Thank you I will look for them.

[pandr32]

62. Those might work for poutine.

I will check out delis around here.

[Tarzanrock]

4. Extra Sharp Cheddar.

Extra Sharp Cheddar. Extra Sharp White Cheddar.

[debm55]

11. Thank you Tarzanrock. Sharp cheddar for you.

[rockbluff botanist]

7. Well aged havarti cheese

Last edited Wed Sep 25, 2024, 10:12 AM - Edit history (1)

When havarti is aged, it becomes crumbly like good parmesan. The flavor is complex and amazing.

[debm55]

17. Thank you rockbluff. It sounds very good.

[3catwoman3]

9. Extra sharp cheddar for hard cheese or Jarlsberg.

I also love bleu, brie, camembert and gorgonzola.

My favorite salad dressing is Litehouse brand Pear Gorgonzola. It has proved to be a very satisfactory successor to the Champagne Pear Vinaigrette that Trader Joe's discontinued.

[debm55]

19. Thank you 3catwoman3 Excellent choices.

[Brainstormy]

10. anything but feta

[debm55]

21. Thank you Brainstormy. Fetta has a taste you have to like or dislike. I like in Greek food, but only Greek food.

[birdographer]

12. Blue on crackers and salads, sharp cheddar, gruyere

[debm55]

25. Thank you birdographer. Great choices and ways to prpare.

[stopdiggin]

50. great minds, and all that - - I'm just going to go ahead and steal ...

[catbyte]

13. Medium Sharp Pinconning Cheese

It's a cheddar-like cheese made in Pinconning, Michigan. It tastes a lot like cheddar only better. I use it in anything that calls for cheddar cheese and makes everything so much better.

For those not lucky enough to be able to get it in your local store, they do have an online shop. Their White Cheddar/Horseradish spread is to die for.

[debm55]

26. Thank you catbyte. the white cheddar and horseradish sounds great. I wrote down the link . Thank you very much.

[Polly Hennessey]

15. My favorites are: Swiss Cheese and White American Cheese

Mostly, I like all cheeses in moderation. Too many “over cheese” too many dishes. I love Blue and Roquefort salad dressing.

[debm55]

33. Thank you Polly Hennessey. I agree with cheese in moderation. blue cheese is great as a dressing for fried zucchini too.

[Polly Hennessey]

76. Fried zucchini and blue cheese, I'll give it a try.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

18. Cheddar is great!

The best cheese is the cheese you have.
When I have cheese I'm happy.
"Sweet dreams are made of cheese...."

[debm55]

35. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHHA. Thank you discntnt_irny_srcsm. You are funny.

[Tarzanrock]

20. Tillamook's cheese products.

I'm fond of the Tillamook cheese products out of Oregon. Tillamook Makers Reserve 2021 Extra Sharp White Cheddar Chunk - 8 Oz. Tillamook "Makers Reserve" products are quality cheeses. Tillamook ice cream is pretty decent as well but no ice cream measures up to McConnell's from Santa Barbara, California.

[debm55]

36. Thank you Tarzanrock. Your selections are great.

[underpants]

22. I have a question. Is the answer Cheesus? Well, I...uh. WRONG! The answers always Cheesus.

[debm55]

37. HAHAHAHAHA. you are funny. Thank you underpants.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

23. Ricotta. I also love Cheddar, Swiss, Havarti, Jack, Colby... Hard to pick just one!🧀

[debm55]

39. Thank you 50 Shades of Blue. Your choices are delicious.

[multigraincracker]

24. Feta

[debm55]

40. Thank you multigraincracker. I love Feta in Greek food. It is a must have.

[OAITW r.2.0]

27. Blue Cheese on salads, Provolone on sammy's. nt

[debm55]

42. Thank you OAITW r 2,0. I agree. I like to melt my Provolone on certain types of sammy

[Squeaky41]

28. Cheese favorites

Ghost pepper and pepper jack

Feta, bleu, extra sharp cheddar

Gorganzola, stilton, and American deli

Meunster and Swiss

Cottage

[debm55]

45. Wow, Thank you Squeaky41 you have a lot of great favorites.

[if..fish..had..wings]

29. Oh, gosh ...

Feta, Blue, Muenster, Manchego, Parmesan, Goat, Limburger, Camembert, Taleggio, Asiago, Gouda, Swiss, Cheddar, Liederkranz, Mozzarella, Cream, Gruyère, Cottage, Brie, ...

Oh, just get a dictionary of cheeses and read it...love them ALL.

[debm55]

46. Wow Thank you if..fish..had..wings.. what an assortment of cheeses.

[Arne]

30. Apollo 14 was supposed to bring back cheese. We only got rocks.

[debm55]

47. Thank you Arne. But you must have been mistaken. The Apollo 14 mission was to bring back rock and soil specimens.

Though when I was a kid we used to say it was made of swiss cheese. because of the craters.

[Probatim]

31. Seriously Sharp Cheddar from Cabot - 2 pound block from Costco.

Usually lasts 2-3 hours at my house. All kidding aside, it's a solid cheese for snacking and for recipes.

I made a breakfast burrito bowl last night (roasted potatoes, breakfast sausage, salsa and dippy eggs) and smothered it with shredded cheese from Cabot. My cardiologist would frown, but it's a damned good use of this cheese.

Edited to add:

I make a lot of homemade pizza and love to use Boar's Head mozzarella - that's a very good cheese for pizza. The only better cheese I've tried for pizza is Caputo Brothers Creamery out of eastern PA. A local pizza shop uses it and it's fantastic but expensive.

For pasta, my favorite cheese topping is Romano. I like the bite and the saltiness on pasta aglio e olio.

[displacedvermoter]

38. Just picked one of the 2 lb blocks at Costco

Bacon and cheese sandwiches for lunch.

[Probatim]

41. We like to eat it with apples this time of year.

Nothing like a fall apple from the farmer's market with a good sharp cheese.

[displacedvermoter]

44. I will put some sliced Macintosh on my

bacon and cheese sandwich. Thanks for the reminder!

[debm55]

51. Wow, Thank you Probatim. What a wonderful post . It makes my mouth water. Again TY very much.

[bullimiami]

32. Richard Cheese

[debm55]

52. Thank you bullimiami. I have never heard of it before. Sounds interesting.

[hlthe2b]

34. 'Love Cheddar... Still, like the Swedes, a wasa crispbread w thinly sliced Farmer's cheese is really good (& addictive)

Gotta have the wire cheese slicer, though to get it just right. They put thinly sliced cucumber on theirs--I haven't tried that.

[debm55]

54. Thank you hlthe2b. that sounds great. Thank you for the idea.

[no_hypocrisy]

43. Provolone, Cara Mia!

[debm55]

[get the red out]

58. Cheese is a food group for me

Blue cheese, goat cheese, EXTREMELY sharp chedder, cobly with NO jack, and parmesan to start my large list. Non of these require any additions, such as crackers etc, I can happily eat them as they are.

[debm55]

59. Thank you get the red out. Great choices. Excellent.

[TommieMommy]

60. First choice is cheddar second choice is Swiss

[debm55]

61. Thank you TommieMommy. Great choices.

[Golden Raisin]

63. I like diverse cheeses but if I was on the proverbial

"Desert Island" I'd want Parmigiano Reggiano.

[debm55]

66. Thank you so much Golden Raisin. Great choice.

[CanonRay]

64. Parmesian Reggiano, Provolone

[debm55]

68. Thank you CannonRay. My husband is Italian and those are his choices too.

72. Thank you PufPuf23. Love blue cheese with fried zuchinni.

[marked50]

73. Ones that don't stink.

[debm55]

74. HAHAHAHA. I agree. When I taught the little guys, I would read the "Sticky Cheese Man" it was a takeoff of the

Gingerbread Man"

[debm55]

77. Thank you malaise. They are three great choices.

and 2d = Cheddar.

[debm55]

90. Thank you elleng. Two great choices.

[Lilithschyld]

79. Right now, mine is feta. Yum! nt

[debm55]

88. Thank you, Love feta on Greek salads and in Greek cooking.

[ProfessorGAC]

80. Swiss, Gouda, Scamorza, Brie

But, I will eat nearly any kind of cheese, even limburger & gorgonzola.
I honestly don't recall ever eating a cheese I didn't like, except maybe feta, which I can take or leave.

[debm55]

95. Thank you ProfessorGAC. Your choices are wonderful. But I do have to add I like feta in salads and Greek food

[ProfessorGAC]

96. I Don't Dislike Feta

Just is far from a favorite.
My wife, in the other hand, flat out doesn't like feta.
She's not big on the super funky cheeses, either.

[debm55]

97. Sorry ProfessorGAC

[ProfessorGAC]

98. Nothing To Be Sorry About

But, in my first post I said I liked all cheeses, then singled out feta.
I caused the confusion.

[AnnaLee]

81. Havarti

and Brie, hard to choose but I think I chose Havarti over Brie because good Brie is to die for but only good Brie.

[debm55]

89. Thank you AnnaLee. I agree. Brie has to very good not just good.

[applegrove]

82. St Andre. Cambozola.

[debm55]

87. Thank you applegrove. Delicious choices.

[Figarosmom]

83. Smoked gouda......

I like to fix myself a plate of nibbles.. the smoked gouda and apple or pear slices. Salami or ham or smoked salmon or sardines. Maybe some Spanish olives for salt and of course peanut butter chips ( the ones used for baking).

[debm55]

86. Thank you, Figaorsmom. That sounds wonderful. Yummy

[pansypoo53219]

But I like pretty much all cheeses except for Swiss which is ok but I never buy it.

[debm55]

[electric_blue68]

99. Provolone reg or aged, Extra Sharp Cheddar, Feta, Manchego, Mozarella, Jarlesberg

I think I could just have these seven for the rest of my life.

And Marie's, or Trader's Joe's Blue Cheese Dressing!

😄🩷👍

[debm55]

100. Sounds very good. Thank you electric_blue 68 Great selection.

[happybird]

101. Cheddar and Gruyere

Are my favorites, but I am an equal opportunity cheese eater
(Except bleu. Ick).

[debm55]

103. Great choices. Thank you happybird.

[4TheArts]

102. As Blythe Danner used to say...

Cheese! I love cheese!
Hardly can think of a cheese I don't like, but top of the list is Wensleydale from Yorkshire UK. Used to could get a half wheel of plain, but nowadays only find it here with fruit mixed in - blueberry, cranberry, even mango. Bah. Plain Wensleydale.
And Manchego!
Sharp cheddar of course is like cinnamon, bacon, and basil. Essential things if you cook.

[debm55]

104. Thank you 4TheArts. They sound great.

[Wicked Blue]

105. Brie

[debm55]

106. Thank you Wicked Blue.Yum
