What cheeses do you prefer?


Recommended Posts

I enjoyed the cheese discussion from the demographics thread that was closed.

These are what I like:

Parmigano-reggiano; sharp chedders; aged goudas; blue cheeses; etc. I like strong, nutty, sharp cheeses. But then, I suppose I've not yet found a cheese I really don't like. I like cheese I simply happen to like those listed above best of all.

What does everyone else like?

I love cheese, in more or less

We have very similar tastes.

I love all sorts of cheeses. Blue cheeses for pairing with other foods, especially beef. Cheddar to eat with apples. Brie to eat with baguette and grapes. Fontina and gruyere all by themselves. Gouda in sandwiches.

Feta and Halloumi for salads. Cheddar for most other things, the stronger the flavour the better. No use at all for mild cheddars. I also like Red Leicster once in a while

I'm 76, atheist and slightly to the right of Attila.

Firm to hard, strong flavours, and not blue. Goat feta > cow feta.



Cheddar is the staple cheese for most uses. It has a great balance and is highly utilitarian, which is why it's probably the mainstream consumer cheese.

All of it except for american cheese - and cream cheese if that counts. Both taste foul to me, but I deal with it if it's a recipe.



Favorites are goat, midnight moon, mascarpone, aged cheddar, parmigiano reggiano, mahon, mozzarella or a good provolone. Blue cheese is good, but I like savoring just small bites of it - too much and it's overpowering.

Strong cheddar is my favourite. I also like mozzarella with the right things.

This is pretty much me, too. Old Amsterdam is currently my favorite gouda, but any sharp nutty cheese works for me.

but brie over french bread is also good for a picnic--or brie and cranberries with wine at a poetry reading--and I love feta in a pasta salad with fresh summer tomatoes and basil at a BBQ. Ricotta with warm pasta or a ricotta pie for big family gatherings is heavenly. I'm pretty pro-cheese. Except smoked cheeses and mozzarella--I don't like those.

I started drooling reading your post. Gotta hit the farmer's market today and the cheese merchant is going to make a pretty penny from me - all thanks to this post and thread in general.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Five for five, I will just steal this answer.

The sharpest cheddar I can get. Melt some over apple pie for bonus points.



Asiago and Parmesan rank up there as well, as does Brie to go with fruit. I also really love goat cheese. Pepperjack, nomnom.



I could go on. I fucking love cheese.

Being from Wisconsin, it's hard to beat a good, very sharp cheddar. I also like manchego for crackers and chevre for salads and generally use in savory cuisine. Uh, in general I like all cheeses except for strong bleu.
