Sharp cheddar.
First, breaking the rules:
My all-time favorite cheese is one of the family-farm handcrafted English cheddars.
Only somewhat breaking the rules:
My favorite would be the sharpest cheddar that the Mars Cheese Palace in Wisconsin has.
Not breaking the rules:
Extra Sharp Cheddar, first New York, then Wisconsin, then Vermont.
Here’s my Top 6:
- Chèvre (traditional French cheese)
- Any smoked cheese (traditional cheese from Check Republic)
- Gouda (traditional Dutch cheese)
- Fetta cheese (traditional Greek cheese)
- Halloumi (traditional Cyprus cheese)
- Prästost (traditional Swedish cheese)
SAGA. It’s a triple cream brie with blue veins throughout. Perfect accompaniment to a duck pate with truffles, cornichons and a fresh baguette.
If I could I would always have in
Imported Regiano Parmesan, always have it available for pasta or flavouring salads. It’s expensive but worth it.
Gruyere, best melting cheese arround.
English Farmhouse (or similar quality) Cheddar.
One of these flavoured cheeses
Cotswald, Red Dragon, Black Mountain, or Garlicy soft goat’s cheese.
SWISS!
Blue Vinney
Shropshire Blue
The Halloumi from my local Lebanese Restaurant
Cheshire
Of course, cheese ain’t nothing without beer or wine.
Another Blue Castello fan. It’s insanely good. And it’s pretty cheep at Trader Joe’s.
For sandwiches and quesadillas, I like organic baby swiss. Also available at TJ’s.
Well, right now I don’t eat much in the way of cheese at all. I’ve recently developed a mild intolerance to dairy, so I tend to eat very little of it. When I do eat cheese, my favourite is Feta (no particular brand). Mmm… Very nice with olives and sundried tomatoes.
Port Salut, melted on a croissant. pure heaven
Oh, its so good, especially inside pasta with spaghetti sauce on top.
mmmm
Wensleydale. The brand with the apple green rind. What brand is that, anyhow? Inexpensive and yummy!!!
Munchee Cheese and Pepperoni Cheese…mmm…
All time fave is Explorateur, with a nice ripe peach. Mmmm.
Keen’s cheddar.
A good crumbly Cheshire.
Thanks Rapunzel for the reminder. Keen’s cheddar is heaven, but too expensive to qulify for the OP from here in California. Price in UK though is very reasonable.
And welcome to the board 
Gov’t surplus! 
Never kiss an animal that can lick its own butt.
Olde Amsterdam.
If it’s bought and eaten in France, then Comte. The extra variety.
Top 5 Cheeses to take to desert island that has a fridge:
- Brie or Camembert (both are fairly interchangeable though brie is less “stinky”)
- Canadian Sharp White Cheddar
- Buffalo (or just plain “fresh”) mozarella
- Havarti
- Cottage!
Emmentaler for my everyday kinda snack…a brin-d’amour for special treat
Cabot extra sharp cheddar. mmmm… Hard to find out here on the West coast though. I recently found Cabot’s Horseradish Cheddar. That’s a cheese that’s good for your sinuses! I also like the Black Diamond aged stuff you can get a Sam’s Club. yummy.
