Your favourite cheese...

Megan lived down in Nantucket
Where she kept all her cheese in a bucket
Her thread paid homage
To our good friend fromage
Ugh, that doesn't rhyme so fu...

Oh, hey, look at the time, I have to run.

Megan,

A fun question but I admit to needing some help. I have always liked a range of cheeses for different applications; sharp cheddars for their bite, smooth Swiss, blue, Pepper jack......the list goes on. Lately we have been adding in some goat cheeses and some tangier cheese well beyond the traditional blue to go with wine and crackers or mixed into salads or topping lighter pizzas....Any suggestions accompanied with some sort of description of what characteristic that makes them remarkable?

Sorry if I am distorting your thread, I will retract the query if it is infringing.

Hrrrm, let's see... Well, how about Gruyere, the go to cheese for French dishes despite it's decidedly non-French origin. It is a smooth, somewhat buttery cheese that just is amazing melted in the oven. When combined with some creme fraiche it is the "sauce" that makes a croque monsieur the king of sandwiches. Also, I prefer it over Reblochon (overrated brie that it is) for a non-traditional Tartiflette (in other words, cheese over potatoes = yum). Stepping away from the french cuisine, it also makes a crazy good truffle mac' and cheese (top with a bit of panko!).

The Dry Monterey Jack is similar to a sharp cheddar cheese though I think the flavor is a bit more complex. If you want to nibble on it, it's best at room temperature and sliced as thin as you can. When it's cold the flavor isn't released as fast where as at room temperature it deliver a burst of flavor. It has somewhat of an odor that a few may have issues with but once it's in your mouth, all is forgive.

The strength of a good mature Stilton is the attraction. I like a cheese that makes my gums recede when I eat it. [emoji4]

I thought the witness protection program had erased all records!

How did you find out about Nantucket?

Who sent you here?

I have a very particular set of skills...

Brillat-Savarin is our official couple's cheese, and is the closest thing to eating a cloud that I've ever had.  As far as I can tell the only thing it's really good for is to eat it, but it's REALLY good at that.  If you've never tried it, we are not going to be able to count or validate your comments here.  Yes, it's THAT good.

Pick a favorite cheese? Awk!!! What an apocalyptic question

[ChrissyRyan]

I enjoy Swiss cheese but many others too.

[Dawn Kellie]

Extra sharp cheddar. Second would be fetta

Gruyere all of the time but gorgonzola with sweet crackers is also really nice. Well aged cheddar and most European cheeses are also on my list of enjoying. Limburger is not that nice, it's not the smell it's the taste which is strange because some of the worst smelling cheeses have the best flavour.

It's easier for me to say what cheese I don't like. Only had one  cheese I never liked, when I was a kid in the 60s dad won some goats cheese at the RAFA club. It looked like a bar of brown soap and tasted like it.
I'm having goats cheese and red onion ravioli tonight but the filling is white creamy and tastes delicious

I'm not really one for eating cheese all on it's own very often so I'll probably say Parmegggiano Reggiano as I used it loads in cooking.

You can't beat a good bit of melted cheddar or red leicester in a cheese toastie though.

Cheese on it's own? The local cheese farm does a very nice nettle cheese and also a lovely smoked cheddar.

Just cheese, I am a cheesyholic! But I have to curb my craving as trying to lose LBs.

[ChrissyRyan]

Parmesan cheese is another favorite. 

[Dawn Kellie]

For the most part what ever cheese is in front of me. With the exception of American cheese.  It's not cheese, it's a cheese like product. I can't stand it

[Charlotte Kitty ✅]

Love Emmental a lot, but honestly love most cheeses. I'll avoid that Italian maggot cheese tho.

[ChrissyRyan]

I like cheddar cheese.
