Great for snacks or cooking. Try it in potatoes au gratin, grilled cheese sammiches, sauces, and with crackers or fruit. Very versatile!
Have loved cheese all my life. Other faves are hard cheddar, baby swiss, jarlsberg and provolone. The only cheeses I don't like are the moldy ones - they remind me too much of how things taste when taking penicillin. As for that so=called cheese with maggots in it, that isn't cheese, it's a failed lab experiment.
