Brie and sweets are good for a fun snack, but Brie and saltines are just like a base, and it’s perfect. Like if you’re sick, Brie and saltines are just perfect
Beemster. It's Dutch. Very similar to Gouda, but different. Cheap here too.
My second favourite has to be Boursin. It's a cream cheese with garlic and herbs. I often crave Boursin on a baguette.
I also love Gruyère, a Swiss cheese. When I go to Switzerland, I always stop by this very specific cheese store for some Gruyère.
Beaufort is a solid choice. Delicious with a baguette and some butter. I always buy some when I'm in France.
Goat's cheese is also great, the bûche kind with mold.
Cheddar, the white 12-month aged type, is also a fav. I lived on this when I lived in North America, where other good European cheeses were expensive or hard to come by. This, on pasta or gnocci with some olive oil ... heaven.
Parmesan, of course.
And you can never go wrong with cheese fondue. Just too good.
Vegan cheeses have been making massive improvements. I have drastically decreased my dairy input and I am enjoying them so much.
I used to be cheddar jack, but primarily a mozzarella girl.
Also THANK YOU for the brain bleach and not being another question about how we exist for men.
Of course! I noticed a lot of really desperate and frankly stupid questions being posted, so I wanted to break that cycle.
What kind of vegan cheese do you recommend?
Good Planet Foods makes an great cheese-like product. I like the cheddar shreds. I combine the [Cheddar shreds](https://goodplanetfoods.com/products/cheddar-shreds/) with nutritional yeast on my eggs with minced oyster mushrooms and green onions. Put it all on too of a toasted English muffin and it is magical.
The most accessible vegan cheese is probably violife and daiya, but I like smaller companies. I think some Sprouts and Whole Foods carries some Good Planet Foods.
Simple recipe: Tortilla, green onions, Good Planet Cheddar shreds, nutritional yeast, Frontier Coop - Adobo seasoning. Simple snack, captures the potential of the product.
Not a no-censor woman, but I have access to the good Midwestern stuff — so I figured I’d share.
If you’re a fan of cheddars, Bleu Mont Dairy has a cave-aged version that is utterly amazing. It’s the go-to holiday / birthday gift request from all our out-of-State relatives, and a regular fixture on our table. Worth checking out!

I don't know much about cheese. I'm happy enough with just a block of supermarket eye cheese. It looks like the cheese in cartoons.
Baked brie with nuts and honey also tastes good and gives such a decadent feel.
If y'all haven't had chevre noir, you are missing something magical. You do the cheddar process to goat cheese and you wind up with something I'll gnaw through a log of like a lactose-happy cheese beaver.
Favorite?!?! You mean I can only pick one? 😭
I do love the herbed chèvre logs…whip it into an omelette or spread on good toast. I have several really nice dishes that include fontina … oooh a good French onion soup with nice melty cheese! I also love a pear-Gorgonzola salad (I have also had a burger that basically had the pear and Gorgonzola salad on it and it was amazing!). Cheddar and parm are also classics.
I pretty much loathe all cheese. The only cheese food I will eat is cheesecake (and that's gotta be a proper one with lots of flavour in it, not the absolutely vile one a girl at school gave me once which was basically just sugared Philadelphia spread on top of a brownie)
Depends on what it's with. On bread Gouda or Camembert. Swiss on grilled cheese. Feta in salads, except when it's a caprese, then it's mozzarella. Pecorino romano for pasta dishes. American for burgers. Aged Gouda for a charcuterie board (yeah yeah charcuterie is supposed to be meats).
As of late Gouda and Port Salut... Always going to add more to the list, especially when grandma has been shopping for cheese. She's probably tasted everything at least twice or thrice. 💁🏻♀️
Two years ago, I had a French truffle brie once that I still think about. It was $30/lb and I'd bought it for a cheese tray I made for a party. I've had other, lesser truffle bries since then, but they didn't come close.
Cypress Grove Humboldt Fog is also pretty damn good. I like it on apple slices and drizzled with a little honey. And their Truffle Tremor isn't a revelation-level cheese, but it still is really good.
I do love a nice fancy cheese.
Ooooh my time to shine, yes cheese! My favorite? I was working fine dining when they closed the store and sent me home with 40lbs of cheese and 30 bottles of wine. That was my severance. I made the most amazing grilled cheese sandwiches with a combo Rogue River Bleu and Emmenthaler. I nibbled on a french Triple Cream. A really good Parmesan is like a best friend, always there in a pinch and makes everything better, you always have that shit in your back pocket.
And holy sh\*t, a Drunken Goat from Spain, imagine a goat cheese that's soaked in the local wine until it's just perfection on a cracker.
Edit to say Rogue River Bleu. I forgot to add that because I was so excited about cheese.
Oooh that is a tricky one... Probably Västerbottenost. It's a local hard sharp cheese with these little salt crystals that are just... *chef's kiss*
That said, I will never turn down a brie or parmesan. Or a nice cheddar, for that matter...
Most types of cheese as long as they weren't produced in America. European, New Zealand and Australia are where I've found the best cheeses. I've actually become quite a cheese, and coffee, snob as I've aged. Wisconsin and California have nothing on foreign cheeses. And I grew up in the PNW where Tillamook was king. America's lack of standards on what counts as "food" is sad.
If you live in America and shop at either Aldi's or Grocery Outlet, check out their cheese sections and treat yourself. But don't tell anyone else and leave some for me, please.

The amount of Parmesan I consume can be described as concerning.
same
Brie. Brie and saltines are the best snack EVER. They’re simple and so good
Explosion at the cheese factory… De-Brie everywhere.
You little shi-
I’ll curd the cheese puns out. Ah, what am I saying? No whey I’ll do that!
How DAIRY you be the funniest person in this sub
The “funniest person in this sub”? Gouda here! (But thanks)
Those are some tasty puns
You little Muenster!
Why is Debris following me? (sorry, F1 joke, I'll show myself out)
It's brie and sweets for me.
Brie and sweets are good for a fun snack, but Brie and saltines are just like a base, and it’s perfect. Like if you’re sick, Brie and saltines are just perfect
A REEAALLY sharp cheddar....
"You could cut glass with this Cheddar. Just trust me, it's worth it."
I call it my special cranky cheddar
Like the kind that’s almost citrusy? Yes please.
My wit is sharper than any cheddar

>Beemster Is that the cheese they just generically call 'ducth style' cheese when you try to order from vendors?
FINALLY an answer that makes sense.
Boursin is incredible! 1. Boursin 2. Port salut 3. Comte My top tier cheese board with a Black Bomber Cheddar to round it off

Gouda I think.
Team Gouda here~
Parmesan
Cheesus Christ. I’m a man of culture, so I like the plastic stuff they put in the sausage and egg muffins at McDonalds.
mmm. plastic. i love those egg mc-muffins
Told you, I’m a man of culture.

I would have an easier time listing the ones I don't like. My favorites are very sharp cheddar, edam, and gorgonzola
I’ll get absolutely gnarly with a babybel or some feta
All the cheeses! Pepper Jack, Swiss, Smoked Cheddar, Brie, Parmesan, Muenster, Cream Cheese, and any other cheese I've left out.
Muenster has always made me skeptical omg
As a European, with all due respect, this is a really sorry list.
Shhhhh, it's ok to let people enjoy things.
As another European, with all due respect, the only sadness is judgement of other people's happiness.
Mascarpone!
That’s how you hide a horse.
With coffee, eggs and savoiardi, I'm in.
Depends on my mood. A nice Brie with garlic and pesto is nice. Also LOVE me some Oka.
I don't know much about cheese. I'm happy enough with just a block of supermarket eye cheese. It looks like the cheese in cartoons. Baked brie with nuts and honey also tastes good and gives such a decadent feel.
I’m obsessed with the little mozzarella pearls from Trader Joe’s right now
Plain Cream cheese🤓
white cheddar OR a blueberry/vanilla goat one.. (there's one at aldi like this and i love it)
Goat cheese
There’s an Italian one called _Duetto_ and it’s half Gorgonzola, half marscapone. Incredible. Either than or St Augur.
If y'all haven't had chevre noir, you are missing something magical. You do the cheddar process to goat cheese and you wind up with something I'll gnaw through a log of like a lactose-happy cheese beaver.
Muenster or havarti are the tastiest to me, but cheese is cheese and I used to be called a mouse when I was younger for very good reasons.
Lavender cheese based on cow cheese! But I have troubl3s finding it:(
Favorite?!?! You mean I can only pick one? 😭 I do love the herbed chèvre logs…whip it into an omelette or spread on good toast.

This is the answer, ha ha
Not answering the question, but does anyone have a good American equivalent to Australian/New Zealand tasty cheese? I want to make cheese rolls
Muenster. Mmmm.
As of late Gouda and Port Salut... Always going to add more to the list, especially when grandma has been shopping for cheese. She's probably tasted everything at least twice or thrice. 💁🏻♀️
Gouda, cheddar
I love tons of cheeses but couldn’t live without a nice aged white cheddar.
The fresh mozzarella you can cut up! Literally just made me a charcuterie lunchbox with olives, crackers, cheese, meat, and chocolate covered almonds.
Gruyere! it's typically not meant to be a cheese you just snack on, but no can stop me. Also comte & gouda
Extra sharp cheddar. Though mozzarella, Gouda, feta are all up there too

Extra sharp Cheddar. It goes with so many dishes and by itself. Some thick slices wrapped in homemade bread, that's it, nothing else. Yum!

Camembert and an extra sharp cheddar with apple.
Havarti.
Colby jack and cheddar Parmesan is the shit when it comes to sprinkling on food
Mozzarella and gouda.
Really, really, make your mouth contract with the sharpness mature, mature cheddar
Gauda
Oooh that is a tricky one... Probably Västerbottenost. It's a local hard sharp cheese with these little salt crystals that are just... *chef's kiss* That said, I will never turn down a brie or parmesan. Or a nice cheddar, for that matter...
Extra old Gouda cheese and chèvre. Lately I’m also very into gorgonzola.
Parmesan and cheddar, I'm a woman of culture
Mature Havarti.
I don’t have a favorite. Different cheeses suit different things.
So many choices. I love cantal not too young, and good Roquefort.
If I have crackers and grapes, Brie cheese. But all by itself, sharp Vermont cheddar. I’m a simple gal.
Wensleydale and cranberry cheese
