I love cheeses of all kinds, but I know most are quite high in fat. Does anyone know how different types (meaning mozarella, cheddar, etc) compare to each other, and which type is the "healthiest?"
I'm not really a fan of those reduced fat ones, since a lot of them don't seem to melt too well. I don't want to entirely give up cheese while dieting, though! Anyone have any suggestions of healthier types of cheese, or even brands of low-fat cheese that melt well?

I don't care which is healthiest, these are the ones I enjoy:
Shredded Colby jack (great for a variety of things)
Part-skim mozzarella string cheese
Mini babybel original & cheddar
Swiss cheese0 -
I love cheese. My lower fat favorites are Feta (get the French type-creamy and salty), goat cheese (crumbled on salads, baked on chicken), and farmer's cheese (sliced on a wrap/sandwich). I also like the Cabot's 50% and 75% low fat cheddars. I slice the cabot's block and eat it on crackers.
And parmesan is really good and flavorful so you only need a sprinkle for great taste. I like to put a tbsp. of shredded parm on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees until the edges are light brown. Eat the parmesan crisps right off the pan or place them on a salad...yumm.0 -
I'm a cheese head, but I try to get whichever kind that is either low fat/reduced fat or made with 2%.0

I put cheese in the 'dessert' category as much as I can. My top favourite is aged gouda (not smoked, not regular, not any other way but aged) from Holland. Hard, salty, sweet, I cannot compare it to anything else. Rembrandt brand makes an import that I can sometimes get at the local grocery store ( http://www.cheesesupply.com/product_info.php/products_id/408 ).
Second for me is fresh mozzarella. Sargento makes the closest to fresh I can find in bricks or balls like it's found here:.
Lastly, just a slice of medium cheddar from Sargento is a great finisher to just about any meal.0 -

Laughing Cow cheese wedges are great. Although they are "light" cheese, they don't taste "light."
