For all the very important cheese related discussion.
My top five cheeses:
- Wensleydale
- Appledore
- Brie
- A good sharp cheddar
- Stilton
- Västerbotten
- Roquefort
- Gorgonzola
- Parmigiano
- Gruyvère
Cheese prices in Japan though…
Gold is cheaper by the weight.

That’s nostalgic. I grew up on inexpensive “American cheese” since my parents were lower middle class and they had five kids. I still buy it occasionally for the “Mom’s cooking” memories. Or if I’m being cheap. (Though no cheese is particularly cheap nowadays.)
Mozzarella because it’s good alone or on top of anything.
And I didn’t have much opportunities to try out other type because import price…
Halloumi and other goat/sheep cheeses, local French cheeses, brie, mozzarella, parmesan. I try to avoid the supermarket cheeses, some of them have more in common with butter and/or potatoe starch than actual cheese.
Wensleydale, Appledore and Gruyvère also look tasty.
A whole mini wheel of baked goat’s cheese with caramelised red onions and sun-dried tomatoes…
I only see ONE cheese on that list…
Cheese-like substances that nevertheless are tasty to those of us with mere plebeian taste buds.
You can get a whole TWO POUND block of pretty good sharp cheddar at Sam’s for $6.58 and Tillamook Medium Cheddar Cheese (2.5 lbs.) for $9.98 - patricians need not apply…
Here is my list of favorites which as you can tell are more mainline and conventional. I will say that I am especially fond of William’s brand cheese that heralds from my home state.
- Smoked Gouda
- Pepper jack
- Provolone
- Goat cheese
- Cheddar
Kind of an unexpected thread on here! But probably good to move it out of the iPad Pro M2 thread.
I’m going with
- Old Gouda
- Medium age Gouda
- Parrano (tastes like Gouda)
- Manchego
- Feta
- Young Gouda
I mean I love some parmesan on my pasta, but don’t eat it on its own.
Gouda! Man, that is my real top but somehow I forgot about it so thanks for the indirect reminder as I am amending now! My all-time favorite is smoked gouda.
So let me get this straight… you like Gouda? I have a suspicion you like Gouda.
I can imagine, smoked foods are flavourful anyway
Gouda is by far the best cheese. A good smoked Gouda is my favorite.
I also enjoy a good Muenster, smoked Provolone, Gruyere, and fresh Mozzarella.
A well aged parmesan also, so good.
Sharp Cheddar is also fantastic, especially a sharp white Cheddar. Smoked Cheddar is also pretty great.
Goat cheeses can be hit or miss. There are some good ones out there, but there are a lot that are just a little too funky for my taste.
Basically, cheese is amazing though.
I’m beginning to think cheese could reunite this divided world!
