I just joined the tribe, and I'm just wondering what everyone's favorite cheeses are.
Forgive me if this topic's been exhausted...it's happened enough already...
To start off, mine's parmesan. :)

Re: Favorite Cheese
Fri, July 7, 2006 - 3:17 PMPastures of Eden feta cheese from Trader Joe's. I must have a little square of it everyday. If it is all eaten before I have bought more, I am beside myself. Oh my gawd, I'm addicted!!!

Re: Favorite Cheese
Tue, July 11, 2006 - 12:08 PMMy favorite is French Morbier and Brie.
I like most of semi-hard cheeses.
There is a specialty cheese store in Alexandria,VA where you can buy fine cheese.
They have a website www.cheesetique.com

Re: Favorite Cheese
Tue, July 11, 2006 - 1:11 PMI know it's not an actual kind of cheese, and this may turn out to be one of the dumbest questions ever, but how about cheeseCAKE? -
-
Re: Favorite Cheese
Tue, July 11, 2006 - 2:13 PMWow, where to start?!? Offhand I'd say Rogue River Blue, a 5 year old Cheddar, French Morbier, REAL Italian Parmeson, fresh Buffalo Mozzerella, and Humboldt Fog. -

Re: Favorite Cheese

Re: Favorite Cheese
Wed, July 12, 2006 - 9:07 PMOh yeah, John! Buffalo milk mozzarella! Sooooo much better than cow's milk mozz... *drool* -
-
Re: Favorite Cheese
Wed, July 12, 2006 - 10:14 PMNight and day! Rumor has it there's a Mozzerella bar in Rome, soon to be followed by one in London. You walk in and order a variety of mozz all over Italy. Just imagine! -

Re: Favorite Cheese
Thu, July 13, 2006 - 1:40 PMHas anyone had Burrata? ...mmm...big fresh buffalo mozzarella ball with an oozy creamy center..... -
-
Re: Favorite Cheese
Sat, July 15, 2006 - 9:17 AMOh... burrata..... I had the good fortune of having some at a restaurant not too long ago. It's a good thing it's not widely sold cause I would. not. stop. It was like mozzarella custard...soooooo gooood.
I'm currently craving Cypress Grove's Midnight Moon - it's a harder goats milk cheese, really nutty and a little crystalline (like reggiano) - and Cahill's Whiskey Cheese - which is firm, creamy, with a really nice whiskey tang. -
-
Re: Favorite Cheese
Tue, July 18, 2006 - 2:21 PMExcellent cheese.... Midnight Moon was my all time favorite cheeses for a while....and one of my customers told me I resembled the pretty lady on the label of that cheese. ( I wish...he must have forgotten his glasses that day)

Wed, July 12, 2006 - 4:39 PM4 years old and older Gouda (love those crystals and butterscotch flavors yum!)
Mimolette at room temperature only
Chevre Noir - goats milk cheese made in the cheddar style coated in black wax
Banon - when I can find it and when it's just right

Re: Favorite Cheese
Mon, July 17, 2006 - 4:39 AMst andre is definitely up there....
although i'm a huge fan of spanish manchego too.
it must depend on the day. -

Re: Favorite Cheese
Wed, July 19, 2006 - 4:42 PMIf you like St Andre you should try Delice de Bourgogne some time -

Re: Favorite Cheese
Thu, July 20, 2006 - 4:27 PMExqui Lorr is one of the finest soft and oozy cheeses ever in the world... OMG -

Re: Favorite Cheese
Thu, July 20, 2006 - 4:58 PMI guess it is actually Exquilor, sorry :) -

Re: Favorite Cheese
Thu, July 20, 2006 - 6:32 PMmy fav to eat at any time is any smoked gouda.

Re: Favorite Cheese
Fri, July 21, 2006 - 5:05 AMI like almost any cheese, but I have to say that a good aged cheddar remains my favorite. I like the British farmhouse cheddars that have a horseradish undertone.
However, the hippest cheese these days is Paranno.
-
Re: Favorite Cheese
Fri, July 21, 2006 - 11:07 AMThat's like trying to pick a favorite child. ;)
I tend to love goat cheeses, then sheep, then cow...though.
And on a regular basis we often consume Laura Chenel chevre, real Parmesano Reggiano, Petite Basque, various blues but in particular I'm really loving Cashel Irish Blue these days... Recently discovered Andante Dairy which makes some fantastic cheeses... She has a goat with pink peppercorns that's lovely.
I find something new to love everytime I go to the cheese shop or get a nice cheese plate after dinner..heh. -

Re: Favorite Cheese
Sun, August 6, 2006 - 7:45 AMI can't really even begin to even place my top 10 favorite chesses....I would say my answer to the the question: "What is your favorite cheese?" would be: "Yes." -

Re: Favorite Cheese
Sun, August 13, 2006 - 8:03 AMExactly!
Oh and I forgot about cave aged gruyere... argh!!

Re: Favorite Cheese

Re: Favorite Cheese
Tue, March 27, 2007 - 9:20 AMbased on purchase frequency: goat cheese & manchego, but really, don't get me started.
-

Re: Favorite Cheese
Sat, October 21, 2006 - 3:11 PMThis one takes a little work to find, and it has to be served at room temperature to really appreciate, but I think it's worth the effort: Tomme de Savoie (make sure you get the 40% fat, not the diet 20%).

Re: Favorite Cheese
Sat, October 21, 2006 - 10:17 PMLa Tur.....Robiola due latte.....all those fresh Italian mixed milk cheeses made by Guffanti.......I am digging those lately

Re: Favorite Cheese
Wed, November 15, 2006 - 10:19 AMI don't have just one...Swiss, Goat Cheese, Meunster Cheese, and I love Queso Fundido (Fandu). By the way, in case you haven't noticed already, I'm a horrible speller. -

Re: Favorite Cheese
Mon, December 25, 2006 - 6:51 AMI've resisted this thread because I love so many, but a few of my favorites have not been mentioned. Appenzeller is my favorite swiss cheese. And I don't think anybody has stood up for Roquefort, my favorite bleu.

Had some lovely Fresh Mozzerella the other day with fresh tomato slices and crusty bread. And a flavored olive oil. Mmmmm.
Been into Goat Cheese for quite a while, love the texture and goes great with the gnosh plates I eat regularly.

Re: Favorite Cheese
Wed, July 16, 2008 - 4:01 PMI think I need to try some red dragon. Yesterday I had some of a lovely old standby brillat savarin brie, I ahve also been craving some fleur verte and a simple English cheddar.
I noticed that several folks are eating medeterenain cheeses that I am not familiar with. So many of the cheeses that attract me are Piedmontese, I think I need to branch out a bit more. -
-
Re: Favorite Cheese
Fri, July 18, 2008 - 9:00 AMred dragon is incredible. really. I thought it was just pretty good for the longest time & then I finally had it served properly - at room temperature - and I was completely blown away.
