what's your favorite cheese?

[CloudBee]

My all time favorite, which is difficult to find:

Brenta Stagionato



a close second, is Bella Vitano Sartori Balsalmic






What's yours?

[ddi741]

Havarti with Baby Swiss and Lorraine as close seconds.
Although I will admit, there are very few cheeses I don't like.

[womet]

I am a weirdo and don't really like cheese, but I love this stuff from TJs.

[Pom]

Cheeses are like children, chosing a favorite is cruel.
Stiltons, creamy goat cheese, brie....love, love, love.

My newly identified heart throb is cambozola. Amazing.

[Mrs.Beagle]

The one that is right in front of me.

Though I am not much of a fan of moldy cheeses.

Hard and semi-hard are my faves.

[y4m]

Taleggio. For sure.

Not a fan of Bleu cheese, but will eat pretty much anything else.

I hate Velveeta, cheez whiz, & Kraft singles, but since those are NOT really cheese, I guess they don't count.

Edited to fix typos.

[Tea-rific]

I like rosy goat from whole food's.

Yes, yes, your typo states the truth. Those ARE really cheese.

Well, some American is really cheese, right?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way.

I do have trouble with some overly pungent blues, but I'm working on it. I really want to like them.

:Y: I was buying a wedge at least once a week for me and h last summer, but my local market stopped carrying it! I'm going to be thinking about where I can find some all day...

[compassrose]

Parrano. Yum.

[ejpint]

Beagle, you're on fire in this thread.
I love all the cheese.
I'm on a big gouda kick right now - there's a Dutch-ancestry town nearby that makes some killer smoked gouda (and other "flavors", too). And I can't say no to a lovely, crumbly mature cheddar.

Amazon.com baby!

[Mrs.Beagle]

WAIT WAIT WAIT.

HOLD THE PHONE.

YOU CAN BUY CHEESE FROM AMAZON?

I DON'T EVEN NEED TO LEAVE MY HOUSE?

[juris11]

I love any and all cheese. No lie. Even Kraft Singles and Velveeta. If it is cheese. I will eat it.

I buy a lot of cheese to have with crackers and fruit for lunch. This week it is Gruyere and smoked Gouda. Mmmmmmmm. I also bought some mozzarella to make caprese salads.

Dammit now I am hungry.

[lmb5109]

Parmesan. I could eat a brick in one sitting

[sunshine608]

There are very few cheeses I don't like but if I had to name a favorite it would be Halloumi( a salty white sheep's-milk cheese from Greece or Turkey, usually eaten grilled).

[Deleted]

Swissland Cheese Company is local to our home and I love pretty much everything in their "Chedda" line of cheeses.

Fleur de la Terre (gouda from Trader's Point Creamery)

Emmental

Chaumes

[bluelikejazz]

Don't make me choose!!!! Too many delicious cheeses to pick a single favorite!

[eightangryreindeer]

I shall pick aged Manchego, because for some reason today I am longing for sunny Madrid.

(but yes, whatever cheese is in front of me, I love them all)

[pugz]

MIDNIGHT MOON GOAT CHEESE!!!

[CloudBee]

Emmental is amazing. I love it on sandwiches, and with hot dogs!

[Deleted]

Point Reyes blue or Cashel blue.

I love moldy cheese!

Does it have the traditional goat cheese essence?

[Brie]

Goat.

Although I've been craving Land O' Lakes American lately. It may not be real cheese but that shit is good. And of course I can't find it around here.

[theintended]

Boring answer, but a good, extra sharp cheddar wins for me for its versatility.

[kzoomaggie]

Detroit Street Brick, by zingerman's... It is the most amazing cheese ever!!!
