Very very very sharp cheddar. I’ve found a few strains that continued to age after 8 or 9 years, and they were madly sharp and delicious, and full of nice crunchy proteinacious precipitates. I found near perfection in a slice of 11 year old cheddar produced in the cheese factory my aunt works in once. Ski Queen Norwegian gjetost is quite nice. A lovely brown goat whey product! I’ve got some in the fridge now. It always makes the roof of my mouth tingle. Anyone here ever try Sardinian maggot cheese? ---

LOVED IT! Pepper jack is one of my favorite everyday cheeses, though. Perfect with almost anything. I also love provolone, smoked or non, but I’ll never say no to cheese in general! ---

OOOH! Cheese! Lately, I’ve found Roncal. Wonderful stuff. Also, I’m a fan of Drunken Goat. Best name for a cheese, I think. I don’t think I’ve found a cheese I disagree with. ---

Any kind of cheese is a good thing, usually the stinkier the better. For a less smelly but awesome cheese, I like Cotswold. You will never have a better cheeseburger if you use this stuff. ---

MMM…this thread is definitely making me hungry!! I think if I had to pick just one cheese, it would be Humboldt Fog, from a cheesery in Northern Cal whose name escapes me… it’s Brie-like in consistency but nicely goaty tasting. Also shout out to the blues: Maytag, Roaring 40s (Aussie), and bleu d’avergne. Lately my obsession has been aged Dutch goat gouda. For those of you in Chicago, check out The Cheese Stands Alone on Western & Wilson (though if you’ve read 60+ posts on this thread, you probably already know it!)
