Your Favourite Cheese?

[Besalu2008]

I love cheese and there´s not many I don´t like but some that deserve a mention are:

France. I would say a very high % of my favourite cheeses come from France. As I say, there´s not many that I don´t like but some which deserve a special mention are;
Saint Nectaire, a lovely delicious creamy cheese from the Auvergne region. Also Auvergne blue which is milder than Roquefort. Ofcourse there´s Camembert and Brie which are also delicious. Also the cinder goats cheese is fantastic.

Spain. Some good cheeses in Spain but probally the most well known is Manchego which goes well with a nice bottle of La Rioja

Norway. maybe not as famous for it´s cheeses as other countries but there is a sweet, dark brown goats cheese called Brunost which is delicious thinly sliced on toast in the morning.

What are your favourite cheeses?

Absolutely love cheese! Anything blue is good by me, although I'm particularly partial to blue goats cheese. Also like smoked cheeses &, of course, you can't beat a good mature cheddar!

Parmigiano Reggiano. As Mario Batali calls it: The Undisputed King of Cheeses.

When I was a kid, I didn't like cheese, and wouldn't eat it on anything. I don't know what caused the change, but from there I progressed from only eating it in a melted state (grilled cheese, cheeseburgers), and eventually now, where I'll eat almost any cheese.

I don't know if I have a favorite, and there's usually several different kinds of cheese in my refrigerator (currently: feta, meunster, cheddar, provolone, swiss, mozzarella and parmasean). Yesterday at the grocery store there were samples set out of a wonderful rosemary asagio.

gruyere is one of my faves. great for homemade mac n cheese recipes. i will also slice up a baguette, put some gruyere on top and put it in the oven. melted cheese atop a toasted baguette...mmm so good.

feeling peckish

What I would love right now is a couple of toasted crumpets with butter and slices of red leicester on top (drooling emoticon)

Also normally have several different types of cheese in the fridge RT. Also have feta, mozzerela and parmezan like you. Also some of that cheese that you always see on Tom & Jerry cartoons that has all the holes in, can´t remember it´s name at the minute for some reason...

Bought some mature cheese from the Basque country at a market fair last week which was delicious. Also forgot the name of that. I must start to write things down I think!

An easy question: Roquefort!

Strong, salty, soft, rich, creamy, tangy, delicious!

I would agree with Besalu2008, France has got this subject sown up. All the best cheese I have had are from there. Lovely, hard, aged goats cheese from Provence; soft, fully-ripened Camemberts; fantastic mountain cheeses from Savoie and Jura, such as Tomme, etc. etc.

Yummmm, just thinking about cheese is making me hungry.

I love fresh buffalo mozzarella, especially in a Caprese salad.

I am not sure what it is called, but I had this cheese in Australia that has peppercorns in yet. It kind of tastes like cheddar - delicious.

Does anyone know what I am talking about?

[eaglerock]

baked camembert for sure...

good old English mature chedder...

French brie

all accompanied with a nice glass of red wine! mmmmmmmmmmmm

Offcourse the real Parmigiano. Also the real Mozzarella, that you can only eat in Italy. Most if not all the exported mozzarella is NOT the real one, it hasn't got a lot of taste, but try the real one in Italy, you will see, it's incomparable! The real Mozza is only good for 2 days, that's why there is nearly no export of it. I know just one shop in Paris who sells it. It's their speciality, they have more then 30 different sorts of the real one..

Very nice cheese are also:
- Reblochon
- Gruyere & Emmenthal (from SWISS, Not the french one, you will discover the difference in taste)
- Chaumes
- Maroile with Cognac
- Nuits St Georges

And nominated as the Best Cheese in the World on the Caseus-Awards in Lyon (France) is our Belgian proudness: The Blue "Grevenbroecker" from Achel in Belgium. If you come to Belgium try him out, it is very rare (Only 140 cheeses made per year), nearly not exported as the maker (Peter Boonen) wants to keep it little and made in the traditional method! But you can try him out in his little shop in Achel, this is in the provence of Limburg, Belgium. Check google for more info!

Mozarella is probably my favourite !
