    Oh for the love of cheeses. It's like chips - can't eat just one and great with chips.

    Simple medium cheddar is awesome. The fancy stuff is great too.

    Paneer! Easy-ish to make and fresh, good stuff.

    I discovered how good cheese was when I escaped mild cheddar. Then casein intolerance hit t1. I almost cried when I realised I could no longer have cheese toasties. Fortunately I had tried goat and had felt slightly better. So now I ignore anything cow, its anything t2, sheep or goat all the way. Cave aged goat is lovely.

    My favorite for flavor is buffalo (that's water buffalo) milk mozzarella cheese. It's a specialty here in Italy, and when we're at the beach in the summer they make it near us----fantastic, but calorie rich. I use all types when cooking. Italy has many DOP (protected from their origin) cheeses and my husband buys alot. When cutting calories I eat a little swiss or feta. I also like regular Philidelphia on a Wasa cracker.
    OP-- I'm also originally from Minnesota.

    Cheese. The one, single food I COULD NOT eliminate. Everything else is optional. Technically, you could deny me cheese and I would survive, but I don't think I could be truly happy. I would always miss it... :(

    I honestly can't remember a day without cheese in some form or another. I even take it with me on backpacking trips. A life without cheese is like a life without cheese. Not good.

    I have at least .5 oz of cheese each and every day. There's nothing I don't like, but I've grown an affection for products from the British isles.

    I have always wanted to try making my own cheeses!

    it is such a science and does not always work out. Its also near impossible with pasteurized milk. (single pasteurization is usually ok) its so fun and delicious!

    Agreed...too much of it breaks me out tho /: could be a sensitivity to dairy....and NONE of the other kinds (soy, etc.) even compare!

    I HAVE to weigh in on this thread...I have been trying to stay as Paleo as I can since February. My GF is not. So we have cheese in the house. Luckily she has pretty wide-ranging taste, so we get some good stuff. I will not eat it as is, but I do shred it on chili and melt it on burgers; which leads me to the real reason for posting here:

    I love cheese.. ALL the cheese.

    But, I really love it if is is sliced paper thin (if it can be sliced). Brie and Camembert wrapped with puff pastry and baked alongside wine...YUM!!!

    Fondue, too... LOVE fondue with a good crusty bread.

    Oh god I love cheese so much. There was an amazing cheese place near out last home and they did these $25 cheese platters. It's probably a good thing I don't live there any more. 20 year gouda, 10 year Hook cheddar, the good St Andre. Cashiel blue omg. They made their own pickles and seasoned their marcona almonds just right.

    Cheese is life. Since my blood sugars have been super high all day (even with aggressive corrections, eating low carb, and a ton of walking) half of my calories are coming from cheese and pepperoni.

    If my BG keeps being this witchy, I might do some leftover beef tips and gravy and douse it with Parmesan cheese. And for dessert... man I really wish I had some Gouda and a good German wine. <3

    How on earth have I missed this thread?


    Cheese is good. Preferably French, soft, and gloriously unpasteurised.

    All varieties of cheese please. Especially fresh cheese curds from Upstate NY...squeaky good!

    I loved the adult grilled cheese Panera had with cheddar fontina and some other cheese it was delicious!

    I get to cut cheese all day so I'm learning about cheeses I never heard of! It's fun to learn.

    What is the best/ worst cheese ever? And do you prefer a soft or hard cheese?

    I just came here to say that next time you're making a sandwich with melty cheese to give muenster a try.
