I love the stuff. Mature cheddar on Welsh rarebit or brie, feta...
So much cheese too chose from.

Aged Ossau-Iraty The king of cheeses its fragrance is reminiscent of toasted hazelnuts, and its taste encapsulates the sweet, buttery flavors that a great sheep's milk cheese can deliver. This cheese pairs nicely with many wines, especially Sauvignon Blancs

EDAM, the cheese made backwards-think about it

Peel off the red rind, and carefully cut off the thinner rind and bingo-loverly cheese-smells a bit, but tastes devine

That stuff they put on burgers is alright I suppose, but as a lactose intolerant vegan, what would I know

Cheeses from Nazerath

There are so many wonderful cheeses it is difficult to choose just one. I remember the farmers cheese my grandfather used to make. It was basically a type of cream cheese and it was fantastic spread on a toasted baguette with some leftover roast and some pickled vegetables.

Then there is the king of cheese Roquefort (or should I call it Le Roi du Fromage?) which is fantastic with a glass of Old Vines Zinfandel or Trappist ale.

I guess that I could just settle for some Manchego which I have in the fridge right now. It makes a wonderful cheese, bacon, tomato and onion sandwich.

Another vote for Roquefort, though what I learned to love it from here in the U.S. was probably an imitation, more correctly a Bleu/Blue. Haven't seen 'Roquefort' in the lower end markets I shop in these days

in quite a while.

Blue is just fine by me, whether it's from Denmark or Wisconsin, on a baguette or bagel, or better still in a salad dressing mixed with sour cream, mayonnaise, crushed garlic cloves and such.

There's also an excellent chevre made a few miles from here & sold in the local markets & bagel shops

You can thank President George W. Bush for the difficulty in finding Roquefort here in the US. However a nice Maytag Blue also works very well.
