Good 'ole cheddar in a grilled cheese sandwich. Feta cheese on a pizza; lightly grilled, there's nothing better. :)

Edit: Feta on a Mediterranean type pizza that is...

I'm on a Muenster kick right now. I also like pepperjack, brie, and swiss.

Fetta cheese and roast pumpkin is fantastic on a pizza.

My favourites:

Camembert
Tilba Vintage Cheddar
Jarlsberg - it's Norwegian
Gruyere - great on focaccia or fresh turkish bread, warmed, lathered with real butter and served with fresh carved ham and salad.

Basically I like aged cheddars, soft cheeses and some other stuff.

Anything but that tasteless god-awful orange stuff the Americans call "cheese." It's terrible.

Very favourite: Munster (French, not the American Muenster). Very strong.

Then .... Appenzeller and Comte and Morbiere

And then there's always the English Stilton when it's good. :)

I enjoy...

Vacherin (expensive + rare but sooooooooooooo good)
Chevre

XXX-Sharp Cheddar
Fresh Mozzarella
Camembert

Soft cheese like Camembert, Brie, Vacherin etc. is oh-so-good on a baguette.

Also, something else that can't be forgotten. Pretty much my all time favorite cheese-experience: Raclette. If you've never had it, all I can say is that you're missing out.


I hate with a passion 'American' cheese, velveeta and the like. Though the occasional Macaroni and Cheese from a box can be fun. :D

I LOVE Swiss Cheese!!!

Gouda is also good (especially on open-faced sandwiches on German bread).

Parmigiano Reggiano is also good on pretty much any pasta.



I also love Nacho cheese - the cheaper the better :D

No, that's not even cheese.

I'm talking about the horrible travesty that is those big blocks of bright orange cheese you see in supermarkets.

Is someone could peel off the outer shell I would love brie on a french loaf. the shell freaks me out for some reason.

Bulgarian Sheep Feta? Where on earth do I get some!??!
(I mean, er, besides Bulgaria)

Most middle eastern/greek/bulgarian deli's carry it. its creamier than the greek feta and anything is better than tha cow feta crap, with less bitter aftertaste, very nice on toasted bread.

There is a cheese store here in vancouver that carries over 500 types of cheese, many many types, some are insanely expensive - like $30 per 100g but well worth it... the Truffle Goat Cheese with herbs is killer good.

Is that for the truffle cheese?

Truffles go for about AUD$4000 per kilogram (that's four thousand aussie dollars) so that could be a reason...

Degaulle reportedly claimed that it was impossible to govern a country with 246 varieties of cheese.

:cool:

It's too hard for me to choose, since I live in a country with 400 cheeses (they've added on since DeGaulle's time :) ).

I'd say that my choices for soft cheeses are:
Camembert (especially the kind here that's soaked in Cognac or Calvados)
Humbolt Fog (an American aged goat cheese that's awesome)
Too many types of brie to decide
St. Albert (stronger stuff)
Roquefort

For hard cheeses:
Manchego (spanish)
Parmeggiano


When you've got fromageries all around you, it's easy to browse and discover new types all the time :D

As well as many of the others mentioned, I'll put votes in for Stilton, Emmentaler and Gruyere.
