3. It is good. Like a mixture of brie and blue cheese. Costs about $9 for a wedge though. |

4. I love authentic roquefort. But it's $25 a pound or so. |
|
For everyday eating, I like feta, jack, medium cheddar, and bleu. Oh, and good parm, of course.
I wish I could buy more assorted interesting cheeses. That's really fun.

It's my weakness, I might actually be eating enough of it to setback my weight loss 20lbs a year.
It has two faults.
It's salty and creamy.
It's really really cheap. I can but a 1.25# organic block at Yes! Organic here in DC for $3.

mild white cheddar type made in the Mennonite dairies in the state of Chihuahua
makes the BEST quesadillas and is just good in general, also queso fresca, and ranchero
I also like feta, colby or longhorn cheddar, jack, mozzarella, provolone, muenster, swiss, the hard white Italian cheeses. don't like the bitter moldy stuff and I can eat brie but it isn't a huge favorite

When it is good enough it can even be an eating cheese but for sure versatility nothing beats parmigiano-reggiano.
Otherwise I am really fond of a good soft goat cheese.

a raw milk cheese from the Burgundy region. The rind is washed with the local brandy, Marc de Bourgogne. Once cut it smells, as the French say, like god's feet and has the consistency of very good Brie. A partially consumed Epoisses will impart a certain, um, pungency to everything else in the fridge if left overnight. Epoisses + fresh baguette + good bottle of Burgundy = heaven. One problem is that it costs $30+/pound :cry: so it's a special occasion only cheese.
For normal eating, the English cheddar with caramalized onions available at Trader Joe's is worse than crack. :9

20. Tie between Fontina, Gruyere, and Brie. |
|
They're all so different, it's impossible to pick just one.

21. Stilton with a little lemon or mango. And yes, Cambozola. |
|
I also love artisanal cheeses from the local farmers; markets, but I couldn't tell you what they are except usually sheep or goat, and awesome.

28. That's my favorite, too. |
|
But, I pretty much love any sharp, stinky cheese, like Gorgonzola, feta, extra=sharp cheddar, stilton, blue, roquefort. Of course, I never met a cheese I didn't like that wasn't named "Brie" or "Camembert". Granted, I never had good, French Brie or Camembert.

27. Burrata, mozzarella di bufala, Parmigiano-Reggiano (from my |
|
neck of the woods in Italy) and Grana Padano (also from my neck of the woods). I love an Italian soft cheese called Stracchino, but the only ones I've found here were too old and tasted sour (it has to be very very fresh).
When it comes to meal time, I miss my homeland very much.
