I like me some Gouda and Cheddar (Not American """Cheddar""")

Reminder: people who don't like bleu cheese are plebeian trash
>>
>>7085523
True. Not all bleu cheeses are equal however. I absolutely love roquefort and saint agur, but I recently tried some fourme d'ambert and didn't like it at all.

Also, some other cheeses I think should be on a "greatest cheeses" list:
- Comté
- Mozzarella di bufala
- Parmigiano reggiano

Yeah those crystals are normal. They can be quite nice in cheese.
Unfortunately they typically don't allow cheese to age long enough here in the states to get them.

Is that one of those 'cheeses' made from nuts, like cashews or almonds? I've also heard of sunflower seed cheese, is it that?

I hate it when people say they love certain kinds of cheese, but don't even name the cheesemakers. There's many different levels of quality between the "same" variety of cheese. You dumb faggots can't just say "sharp cheddar" or "aged Gouda" or "comte" or "aged manchego."

Most of the plebs in this thread haven't even had good cheese.

My "favorite cheese" changes every month at least. Different cheeses change based on the seasons, as does how appropriate they are to the seasonal offerings. In the summer I really enjoyed Miette from Baetje Farms with a nice Chardonnay. Still haven't found a good fall favorite though, but I'm leaning towards the 1655 Gruyere Alpinage with a nice bottle of Beaujolais Nouveau

This is why people make fun of you behind your back, no one likes wine snobs, its been proven in blind taste tests no one can tell the difference in 20 dollar bottles compared to 100 dollar bottles.

Wine is for the upper class to jerk it too while the guy stepping on your grapes is laughing to himself pisshammered off the same swill he made for you, but the difference is he charged you 40 dollars for it.

I considered that, but for me, the French really have the best soft cheeses - Camembert and Brie.
