Random Food Question: What are your favorite type of cheeses?

I love the English cheeses the most: Cheshire, Cheddar and Double Gloucester.

I love tasting a variety of cheese.

I love Brie, and I can’t stand Whiz.

@filmfann I don’t think I’ve ever eaten Brie. What goes best with it?

Provolone, pepper jack, white cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan

I had dinner at the Louis XV in Monaco. They had a cheese course with all sorts of cheeses I never heard of. One was heavenly! The waiter called it “stinky cheese” for me since I couldn’t pronounce it. No, it wasn’t Limburger. I wish I knew though. It was fantastic.
@filmfann, I had a heaveanly Brie, pear and arugula grilled sandwich (on cranberry bread) in Nova Scotia that was to die for.

I don’t tolerate the moldy cheeses well (my fiancé loves them); but I love most others. We’ve found a couple cheese farms that we can but from locally! One has organic raw cows’ milk cheese, the other does goat and sheep’s milk cheeses. Mmmmmm…

Any cheese is okay with me !

Cheeses Christ, our Lord and Savior

Gorganzola for sure.

The only cheese I haven’t liked that I have tried so far is clove cheese. I hate cloves. I like Swiss cheese smoked over cherry wood, or a nice bit of limburger on a rye crisp.

@Judi was it Epoisses?

Pepper Jack, followed by every other kind of cheese, except Swiss. Swiss cheese is foul.

Ripe Brie is often spread on a thin slice of a baguette. Any other kind of serious cracker works also.

@WestRiverrat, maybe!

A triple creme Brie, but the calories prevent me from indulging often.
My everyday favorite is the creamy large curd cottage cheese I grew up with in Wisconsin.

English cheeses, and pepper jack (or peppered cheddar which is more prevalent here). I also love paneer and halloumi. I can’t bear blue cheese or anythng “ripe” like brie.

Camembert, Feta, and Parmigiano Reggiano.

I gorge on Cheddar.

I like…. cheese.

I never met a cheese I didn’t like including brie, swiss, parm, feta, cream, cottage, and any kind of cheddar, Three of my favorite cheese indulgences are mac & cheese, melted brie on toasty buttered French bread (first tasted many years ago at at TGI Friday’s) and of course grilled cheese sandwiches.

I love feta or cheddar melted into eggs, crumbled feta on salad, cheddar or swiss on my burgers, mozzarella and tomatoes with olive oil (Caprese salad), and tons of parm on my pasta.

So many cheeses, so little time…

This thread is making me all hungry-loike.

I’m not very adventuresome for a Francophile. I tried buying some camembert over there and couldn’t gag it down. It smelled like elephants’ feet (no offense, @Pachyderm_In_The_Room).

My favorites are extra sharp cheddar, St. André, gorgonzola, feta, any kind of goat cheese, emmenthal, and brie.

Paneer is nice because I know it never has rennet. Otherwise, I have to try to forget about its existence… Ugh, why do they have to use that.

I’m quite boring, I just love a really strong cheddar! I also really like Edam.

I’m a fan of sharp cheeses. Mild cheeses and soft cheeses are boring.

Haven’t yet read the other responses, will do so after posting. OMG! I have only met one cheese that I did not like. It was some sort or bleu/blue cheese that had a taste like a rotten, moldy piece of dead human flesh. I wish I knew what it was (or who brought it to the party) so I could avoid eating it ever again. It smelled like an old dirty sweat sock.

I do not want to disparage blue/bleu cheese in any way. I have eaten some the most divine blue cheeses. One in particular comes to mind. It was a white Stilton with cranberries from Trader Joe’s like This

My other faves are sharp cheddar, fresh mozzarella (fantastic for a caprese salad) Cotija and queso fresco (for Mexican food) provolone, Havarti, and ricotta.
