Epoisses

Also partial to a good runny fresh Gorgonzola. Used to get the real deal fresh from the farm when we lived in Italy.

Indeed!

It's near Preston - I bought a whole round of it direct from the factory for our wedding. We appeared to have interrupted a board meeting when we went to pick it up. 😀

Cottage cheese? Although strictly speaking it's not really a cheese, it's a residue. With a sinister side.

Saint Felicien is my current favourite. But you have to keep it for at least a fortnight after its best before date in this country, until it's runny enough to pour straight from the fridge.

Epoise - tried it and it was interesting. In fact I have tried loads and they are all nice when eaten in moderation but I keep coming back to Wensleydale and Cheddar. I do like a good smoked German cheese too.

But Wensleydale has it for me. Sorry Cheddar.

Perl las & creamy Snowdonia black bomber for run of the mill enjoyment. But for absolute class, Waitrose sell 3 stunning soft cheeses - Petit Pont L'Eveque, Tuma Dla Paja and a Chaource. Dip some Peter's Yard crispbread into that and a glass of red and you're in heaven. I just need to add cup of freshly brewed civet manure coffee and I think I may have typed my most stereotyped STW paragraph ever there......

Creamy Lancashire can't be beaten for everyday use. Stilton for something with a bit more tang.

Pass me the Bath Oliver's, I'm starving! Local maker (Woefuldane dairy) does a 'Dunlop' which I'm fairly addicted to. Plus their single Gloucester is very nice. Right, I'm up there tomorrow.

This.

But to be honest, I'll eat almost any cheese and enjoy it. Except Wensleydale and anything the Americans describe as cheese but clearly isn't.

The only real cheese I've tried that I've not liked is Caboc. I may have to buy some more to give it another go.
Favourite for me is Manchego.

Our local Stichelton (non-pasteurised blue) takes some beating.

There a nice French number called Bouche we have in Morzine too. (Not Bonne Bouche)

Cheese is one of Gods greatest gifts to mankind. And in that spirit, anyone putting fruit in cheese will be rightfully condemned to burn for eternity in the fiery pits of hell, being forever prodded up the arse with pointy pitchforks. And you'll only have yourself to blame!

But other than those sins against the almighty, asking which cheese is 'best' is like asking you to choose your favourite offspring.

And I nominate Danish Vesterhavsost - in fact one of the few edible Danish cheeses.

Presumably though, adding a few slices of apple or a some grapes to the cheese board is acceptable?

Pecorino. I bought some very recently with the intention of adding it to pizza but accidentally ate the whole piece in a day. I've since done the same to another two or three packs. Salty.

It most certainly is not! [b]NO!![/b]

A cheese board should contain:

1) Cheese
2) A selection of crackers
3) More cheese

Grapes are only acceptable in fermented liquid form. And apples are for making cider

Cheese so mature it's 'hot' when you eat it, extra points if it's running out of the rind too.

Camembert with a little garlic and white wine. Put it in the oven for a short spell and serve with crusty bread.

Shropshire blue with a nice red wine for a nice treat.

Good cheddar with Branston pickle.
