Mister Coaster · 10-24-2009, 06:18 AM

Wow, I don't have a top 5, there are SO many great cheeses in this world we live in... but here are a few that are just too good

I love a good, strong blue - Neal's Yard Colton Basset Stilton being the king of blues
Genuine Reggiano Parmesan, incredible, intense, complex and best eaten in chunks, not grated.
Killaree Irish Cheddar - like buddah!
St Andre Triple Creme brie - even more like buddah!
The Drunken Goat - Goat cheese soaked in red wine. I'm not a big goat cheese fan, but this one is not to be missed. Find it. Buy it. Eat it. Trust me.

little_tippler · 10-24-2009, 06:38 AM

1 - Portuguese Serra Cheese

2 - Brie

3 - Chévre

4 - Parmiggiano Reggiano

5 - Stilton

honorary mention to fresh mozarella...mmm.

edit: oh yes and also, portuguese ilha cheese...pungent and peppery...yum.

wooÐs · 10-24-2009, 07:15 AM

I wish I liked brie. It looks so good. But I just don't like the taste at all.

This sounds super good.

Baraka_Guru · 10-24-2009, 07:25 AM

Dammit, I forgot about chévre!

wooÐs · 10-24-2009, 07:27 AM

Ok I'll loosen up on the Top '5' then. Just list all your favorites cheeses

.

MexicanOnABike · 10-24-2009, 07:36 AM

Lactose intolerant.

but when i could,
-kraft singles cheese slices for cheeseburgers.
-little cubes of cheese made to bring for your lunch.
-philadelphia cheese: dip a carrot in it, then wrap some black forest ham around it. delicious.

as you can see, this was from over 10 years ago. Now, there isn't any cheese in my life.

BadNick · 10-24-2009, 01:47 PM

^ We always have plenty of Philadelphia brand cream cheese around.

I was at the supermarket and jones'ing for some good cheese so on a whim I bought this Saga Classic Blue Brie...very nice and creamy.

One of my favorite snacks for a lazy, sunny Saturday afternoon is a nice big chunk of Stilton, a good crusty bread, and a bottle of nice dry port wine. After that my taste buds are buzzing and I have just the perfect head buzz, too.

I had some good, fresh mozzarella for lunch on Thursday with a couple of good beers. They call it a mozzarela stack, which is a stack of four or five thick cut slices of mozzarella, alternately topped with white and dark balsamic vinegars, and a nice thick slice of juicy fresh tomato next to each cheese slice, then topped with another drizzle of balsamic...and a little handful of fresh greens on the side.

Nobody mentioned Gruyère yet, but that's a damn fine cheese, especially for cooking into things like potatoes, quiche, fondue, French onion soup, in a croque monsieur sambo:

I love all cheeses!

FuglyStick · 10-24-2009, 01:59 PM

Cheese in a can is the pinnacle of human achievement.

Xerxys · 10-24-2009, 02:44 PM

I don't like blue cheese!

I do however like laughing cow. I am not sure if it's cheese!

BadNick · 10-24-2009, 02:52 PM

Fugly,
That reminds me that even though I'm generally not a fan of Cheese Whiz, being a Philadelphian requires that I acknowledge it as an important component of a traditional Philly cheesesteak:

noodle · 10-24-2009, 05:05 PM

Cheese is not neon, boys.

In no particular order....

smoked gouda
red dragon
sharp cheddar
drunken goat
manchego
buffalo mozzarella
that five layer cheese that is deliciously weird... stilton, bleu, etc. Heart of England?
feta.... mmm, feta
smoked cheddar
garlic cheddar
cheese curds
parmesan
romano
gruyere

i love cheese. it's the last milk-based product my system can handle any more. I will be so terribly sad when I lose it, too.

yep, I failed by not getting a picture of that.

On the other hand, this gives me a reason to go there and have another one, take a pic, post it here. I really needed another reason to go back there

FINALLY A PLACE IN TFP I BELONG IN!!!!!!!!!!

1) Goats Milk Cheese
2) Bleu Cheese
3) Buffalo Mozza
4) Pepper Jack
5) Gouda

Feta as honorable mention just for the fact I make an awesome alfredo sauce with it!!!
Cheese curds are also alright when I'm in the mood for it....
I'll also say that extra sharp cheddar or white cheddars are a true gift... god I love them.

I like cheese, but I'm not very knowledgeable about cheese. What I do know though, is this is the best damn cheese I've ever eaten. No contest.

ObieX · 10-28-2009, 01:12 AM

Mozzarella
Bel Paese (baby bel)
Monterey Jack/Pepper Jack
I like to cover my Italian foods and salads with Parmesan cheese.
Edit: Almost forgot! Cottage cheese on wide egg noodles = <3

Was never really a big fan of cheddar or Swiss cheese. I'd eat them if offered but i wouldn't go out and buy them on my own.

spindles · 10-28-2009, 03:20 PM

I can't believe no one has mentioned Jarlsberg - yum!

Vintage cheddar - the older and bitey-er the better!
Brie or Camembert - and they have to be room temperature - get em outta the fridge ages before you eat it
Goats Milk Fetta
Freshly Grated Parmesan

and the Applebox Smoked from ABC Cheese Factory in Tilba - yuummmmmm!!!!
ABC Cheese Factory, Central Tilba - the home of Tilba Cheese

I love Mozzarella cheese too much to live without it - .

dlish · 11-17-2009, 12:05 AM

wooÐs · 11-17-2009, 05:48 AM

YAY HALOUMI!

Salty deliciousness. I forgot about that. As kids, Mom would toast an english muffin, top with jelly and a slice of haloumi. We loved it, although I can't imagine how it could be good today.
