I miss being able to eat cheese without feeling like my guts are being slowly ripped open the next day.

Cheese is a wonderful thing. I don't have a favorite, as different cheeses have different uses and go with different things. When i worked in the fine dining restaurant industry, i got to put together some pretty amazing cheese boards. Cheeses that you won't find anywhere except high end cheese shoppes or high end boutique food stores. That was always enjoyable.
For sandwiches, I really like Meunster or Havarti. A good cheddar on a hot sandwich, and we always have provolone in the fridge, always. It's the best on an Italian sub, or rolled up with salami and drizzled with vinaigrette on an antipasti platter. Manchego is a hard, cheese from Spain, and one of my favorite snacking cheeses. I'm a big fan of Blue/green vein cheeses too. I put a little bit of gorgonzola in puff pastry as an appetizer, and it is great. There is too many to name, but go by the cheese counter and try some different stuff. You may find your favorite cheese is something you've never heard of before. Most places will break off and sell by the ounce, so you can try a lot of different cheeses and not be stuck with a huge block you don't like. Also, a good Parmesan wedge should always be available to cook with. Brie is great with apples and pears. I heat mine up and put local honey on it with some fruit and pine nuts, and it's the bees knees. I love this thread! |

I like various cheese flavors ,nothing is really wrong but I switch things up depending what I am eating it with.
Generally go with plain American for toasted cheese sandwich . Sausage or meatball sandwich needs provolone . Tuna sandwich I like with a chedar . Roast beef sandwich works well with provlone but a chicken sandwich seems right with swiss. Snacking with crackers can be lots of different types including something that peppers or horsraddish added. Most any dish with tomato sauce gets woke up with some romano sprinkled on top. Grew up where the family business was a small New England grocery with attached butcher shop. Had a wheel of Cabot sharp cheddar covered by the wood "hatbox" shipping container. My uncle and father insisted on keeping the wheel of cheddar around for years as a tribute to my grandfather (original butcher and owner) well into the 1980s when most customers wouldn't consider buying any cheese that wasn't land o lakes or kraft . |

I just can't remember what it was called; it was very good. |

View Quote If you like sharp cheddar with the amino acid crystals try some Cougar Gold in a can! http://cougarcheese.wsu.edu/ FAQs: https://creamery.wsu.edu/cougar-cheese/faqs/ ETA: You can also age it longer in the can (refrigerated of course), the oldest can I have now is from 2009. |

They're all good!
Years ago I worked in a deli and we would experiment with different meat/cheese combinations in sandwiches, we always came back to turkey breast and Provolone. |

I had some post oak smoked havarti not long ago that was really good . Triple cream brie is pretty good . Comte is pretty awesome, I like the Stripey Jack English stuff . Large curd cottage , real good munster is killer , the habanero and hatch chile spiked cheeses are favorites of mine . I could go on , I like cheese . I mostly eat it with various meats/sausages on crackers with heavy beers like Scottish ales and stouts/porters , various Trappist ales. Thats the good stuff .

Cabot Extra and Seriously Sharp White Cheddar
Provolone and Cavalier Yellow American (tastes like commodity cheese) ...I was a poor growing up. |

Quoted: Muenster and Provolone are probably the best deli cheese on the face of the planet. does velveeta go with wine? View Quote Like for sandwiches? Cheese slices? Havarti , a good swiss, and a good cheddar are best IMO. For eating with crackers, sausage, wine etc. there are some fantastic cheeses out there. I have really been enjoying Pareggio and Clarina lately. Fantastic cheeses. |

Last weekend had a crumbly English cheddar with balsamic caramelized onions.
The sweetness of the onions paired perfectly with the sharp cheddar. |

Cougar gold is over rated. It’s not that it’s not good, it’s just that I don’t think it’s as great as everyone thinks it is.
Halloumi for the win. Grilling cheese is best cheese. When the cheese is the cracker, you divide by zero and go to the next level. I did some pan seared halloumi, cream cheese and smoked salmon the other day, that shit was unreal. Aged Smoked Ghost pepper is the next best ticket. The ladies always seem to congregate around my smoked chipotle cheddar. In cheese we trust. All others pay cash. |
