Cheese

[Blayde]

I want to start trying different types of cheese, but i have no idea where to start, I was thinking of starting with Edam and Gouda, but i don't know if there's anything to look out for, brand, specific types etc.

Im am a cheese nub, but i want to get a decent set of cheeses for different sandwiches and dishes that i can slice myself and lessen use of the processed stuff we buy now.

Hard cheeses are awesome.

Thinly sliced on bread (something like Pecorino) or grated over pasta dishes (Parmigiano).

I'll have to make a list of what all we get here, so i can get recommendations based on the types, we dont get a lot here, but there's enough for variety

I got this book one day at the used bookstore. Opened my eyes to cheese.

My favorite cheese is definitely feta cheese.

I could not agree with you more, I love feta. I also love almost every kind of cheese in my fridge right now I have 3 types of Wisconsin cheddar, jarlsberg, feta, a black pepper ch?vre cheese, pecorino, Parmigiano-Reggiano, a local framers cheese. I have several Greek cheeses like ??????, Cretan graviera, and Kefalotyri, but I'm unsure how readily available they are in you area.

I love cheese as well...

My favourite emmental cheese is the Jarlsberg chese, I use it a lot. These days you get a lot of Edam cheese, which I also like a lot. Those along with certain types of Camembert cheese are my favourite mainstream cheeses. I also enjoy Manchego, Gorgonzola and Roquefort. I also use Parmigiano and Mozzarella, but that's mostly for cooking, and for topping off pasta dishes...

I love cheese...I'm actually eating some Swiss right now. And I love mozzarella!

Sadly most of the cheese I would eat would probably not be considered real cheese by an enthusiast. Mozzarella, cheddar, American, Swiss, Provolone, and other mild stuff.

yeah, that's my issue, i need to document what's available, so i can vary my choice of slice on sammiches and such

ive also started cheese as a "hobby", once a month we buy 2-4 varieties, some good bewerage to go and rate them.. Nearly bought the old amsterdam adu recommended, but went for a jalapeno cheddar this time.. also regina blau and champagne brie. Im still in a phase where im selecting quite safe cheeses.. I personally like hard cheeses more than creamy and sweeter cheeses.

Herbed Ch?vre is probably my favorite. When I go camping I like to grill a Brie or Camembert with pesto or brandy/whiskey.

Thanks for reminding me, I've got some Tesco cheese I picked up in the UK. At like 1? each per quarter kilo slab, it's not a bad deal, and the cheese is actually rather good. And you're certainly not getting red leicester at any price hereabouts. same goes for double gloucester.

Carrs water biscuit + Syrah(French)/Shiraz(OZ) Red wine + best New Zealand salted butter, and one (or more) of the fuller bodied cheeses - yum yum.

I think I'll go home for some er cheese. ...
