Any other Cheese lovers here?

[Daktari]

One of my many culinary delights is cheese. My favorite is Sartori's Merlot flavored cheese. Was curious what everyone's favorite cheeses were?

I know a couple of guys from Wisconsin. Does that count?

Born and bred Midwesterner, so I've ate way plenty cheese and dairy in my life. Dairy is my comfort food some folks might say. Not much goes better with some of our deer sausage than some good sharp cheddar or smoked gouda. But my wife buys it all so I have no idea what brands it is haha.

Living in Wisconsin I've eaten a lot of cheese, and there is a lot of great cheese made here. I suppose good cheese is found in almost any place that has a lot of cows or sheep. One thing that we have which I'm not sure is widely made is fresh cheese curds. I'm partial to Cady cheese curds from Wilson. If all you've had is refrigerated curds in a sealed bag you've not really had cheese curds.

Jasper Hill cheese from Vermont is also very good!

 

[Tundra Tiger]

Yes. It's a part of every day in some form. Living where I do I don't have opportunities at some of the fancier things some of you do - my choices are much more basic.

One of my favorite things: I grew up watching boxing with my grandpa (I am a BIG fan; I am picking Usyk over Fury). A bowl of popcorn and sharp cheddar slices or wedges was a part of the experience, something I continue to make a part of watching boxing to this day. I don't watch a card without either.

Yes please, the stinkier the better. My current favourite is raclette.

 

[Sika98k]

Mont d’or, a French winter cheese would be a favorite.

 

[Hunt anything]

When I was young up to about 15 I despised cheese but now I haven’t met a cheese I don’t like. Like @Kevin Peacocke the more odiferous the better!

I like cheese. Had some smoked Gouda bacon cheese a couple weeks ago. Outstanding.

 

[Hunter-Habib]

Total cheesaholic here. Favorites include:
West Country Smoked English Red Cheddar (my No. 1 favorite)
Leicester Red
Lancashire
Gruyere
Parmesan
Buffalo Milk Mozzarella
Swiss
Philadelphia Cream
Camembert
Halloumi
Grano Padano
Bengali Cottage
Feta
Gorgonzola
Bleu De Gex
Cambozola
Shropshire Blue
Roquefort

For some reason, I never did like Stilton. A bit too strong for me.

It’s pretty narrow minded of me to say this, but I personally find English cheeses to be generally superior to American cheeses (while finding American USDA prime beef to be generally superior to British beef).

That said, American aged Wisconsin Cheddar & Tilamook Cheddar are excellent eating and are rapidly becoming new favorites of mine.

Pan Fried curds and scrapple with maple syrup or gravy on top, side of easy over eggs
= heaven

Agreed.

Surprisingly enough there are a few very good cheese makers here in Zimbabwe, one fellow makes a very strong mature cheddar.
The milk co-op Dairiboard also makes passable cheese and some years ago they had a division in a town called Kadoma specialising in blue cheese. It was actually quite good and strong. Butter is produced there too, and somehow the cheese culture contaminated the whole factory and for many months we endured blue cheese flavoured butter, not great on toast and marmalade.

Do fried cheese curds count? Love them!!

 

[Brent in Az]

I definitely agree that the Tillamook cheese is pretty good
