West Country Brie, We beat the french again 

[Yabba]

I always find Brie a tad "plastic" in taste

[MoreWhisky]

Have u tried the west country? Far superior to the french stuff.

Jarslberg another favourite kids love that one the best.


All this cheese talk i think i need to go to the deli 

[Yabba]

I have, and it's a similar taste, I guess it's how Brie's meant to taste

Greeks do make a lovely soft cream cheese similar to ricotta tho....have you tried that one
i'm struggling to remember the name...anthro....something, i think............whatdoiknow?
I also miss the cream cheese with hot pepper in it, in the little tubs...............loved it on jkt spuds.MMMMMM
Really do miss Greece a lot sometimes don't think i could be there now tho what with the £/Eu rate being so bad Even my two weeks hol this year will be difficult.
Is it a big prob for you?

Found it

Fresh Anthotiros has soft texture, mild taste, very pleasant organoleptic properties(?), and is consumed as table cheese or used in the preparation of cheese-pastries

Wasn't too far out was I?

Cheshire!!! As a child I used to go to the indoor market in Stockport, which I referred to as the "smelly market" and buy Cheshire and Mild Lancashire but never did like the Tasty Lancashire

i think the cheese with the chilli is feta mashed with olive oil , yoghurt an chopped chillie so you can do it yourself , its called tirisalata or cheese salad , we love it too .

A nice mature cheddar for us, with maybe a liitle bit of stilton wth a drop of port for me at Christmas!!!!

[wighty]

Cathedral Cheddar for us, can't abide any 'plastic' cheese like Edam. Must have Stilton for cooking and Roule at Christmas but I also like Gloucester with onion and chives (makes a good macaroni cheese). Don't even start me on the low fat ones because they have no taste whatsoever and how they can call them cheese!

[SalJ1980]

In no particular order:

Cheddar (extra mature and crumbly, so strong it blows the roof of your mouth off)
Soft goats cheese
Vignotte (you can feel your arteries clogging up as you eat it!)
Brie
Feta
Halloumi
Pave Dauphinois
Cheshire
Wensleydale
Parmesan
Ricotta
Stilton
Danish Blue
Rocquefort

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm I luuuuurve cheese!

There's an italian market that comes to the local town twice a year and they have this wonderful goats cheese.

It's white in colour with an orange rind.  a really strong flavour but a semi firm texture (kind of rubbery like edam).

i searched and searched between june and when they came again in december because i wasn't sure of the name. i couldn't find it anywhere, including specialist cheese shops in london.

i made a note of the name when they came in December and found a website when i got home.  it seems it's a cheese made in this one place,  and is one of those specialist ones that only comes from one dairy in italy.

But do you think i can find the name or the website now??!!  this thread has led me to discover that i've managed to lose the link!!!

I'll try almost any cheese these day with the exception of stinking bishop, one with chillies in it or very/over ripe french ones like Chaumes.  i prefer my cheese moist rather than dry and crumbly though.

GGGrrrrr! i'm so frustrated i can't find that damn cheese again now!

  I have to say Wensleydale, followed by brie, mature chedder and swaledale, ummmm  I feel like a bit of wensleydsale right now
