Again we agree,
 that Italians and French make the best cheeses (greeks come third tied with swiss)Although living in Holland during the week for professional purposes, I can barely stand Dutch cheeses anymore (Gouda or Edam) , because this is the only kind you will find in shops as grated cheeese (except for the odd Pärmesan) and they tend to protect their production.
 In Belgium , we call them Kaaskop >> cheeseheads
As incredible as it may seem, all Italians having opened an Italian restaurant in The Netherlands have to put Gouda cheese (which they call Algmeene Gewoone Kaaas >> all purpose cheese) and spread it on Pizzas. They simply never have mozzarella (too expensive for Dutch wallets too) making it of course impossible for people to get mozzarela on a pizza since they do not stock it!!!
 if the restaurant does not put Gouda in the dishes, they simply get no customers in.

Hopefully the Mozzarella fans among you will have tasted real buffalo-milk mozzarella, which is made in southern Italy (mainly the area around Naples) and should not be kept in the fridge, but eaten as soon as it is bought. If you can get hold of some real buffalo mozzarella, do yourselves a favour and have some... You'll thank me afterwards!

Among non-psychoactive cheeses, and among the 365 french cheeses, my fav is the "Cantal" from the area of the same name.
They are 3 qualities: young, half young and old. My fav is the young.

I love Cantal, but preferrably the very mature.
Among the best sort of Cantal are the Salers or the Laguillole (where they make the knives)
No match for the French bluecheeses such as Roquefort, Bleu Des Causses or Italian Gorgonzola, once you tasted those, you will hate Danish blue cheese ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

american cheese is a cheese that is very mild and comes in thin square slices. it's very common, but i dont know what people use it for besides cheeseburgers and cheese sandwitches (that lazy moms give to their kids to take to school). nobody regards it as a good cheese. you just throw it on something when you want a cheese that melts easily. where is colby!? that's my favorite. -------------

I like the packaging. How on earth can you get Irish Cheddar? Surely its not Cheddar if it doesn't originate in Cheddar.
I call for a law prohibiting any cheese not made exclusively in Cheddar to be banned from using the name Cheddar. Much like the law which prevents any sparking wine not produced in the Champagne region of France from using the name Champagne. -------------

Non-Champagne champagne is "sparkling wine." What shall we call not-Cheddar cheddar? I love goat cheese, and voted for that, though I only have it very occasionally. Mostly I eat cheddar (not the real kind, the Wisconsin or Vermont kind) because it's cheap but is actually, unlike American, real cheese. |

Red Leicester - more consistant than cheddar - melts beautifully on toast, makes excellent rarebit and finishes a cottage pie perfectly. White Stilton - 'the Queen of Cheeses' - if you've never tried this - do so - it's great.
Caerphilly - next best thing to White Stilton - but don't buy the supermarket stuff - it's foul - it has to be eaten fresh from the cheesery (blessed are the cheese makers)
La Brie - finest soft cheese known to man, just don't keep it too long or it starts to sing.
Camembert - instant fondue, just pop it whole into the microwave - which of course everyone knows is Camembert Electrique
Parmigiano-Reggiano - buy this by the kilo in Itally when on holiday, empty out all the unimportant things from your suitcase to make room if you can (things like camera's, clothes, wife's makeup, kids medication, etc.). Shaved parmesan over roasted onions sprinkled with virgin olive oil & balsamic vinegar - heavenly.
The only forms of American Cheese I know are polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polymethyl methacrylate - but these do come in the full range of pantone colours
Except Monterey Jack, which is great for burgers and chill dogs. ------------- What? |
