I like cheese :) and have least three other dream cheese boards. I worked in a deli where we sold nearly 100 different varieties, and of course to sell them, I had to taste them...
That's a new one for me. I'll have 2 please ;o).
I love Chaource, Roquefort, Beaufort, Lancashire and best of all. plain white Stilton (not the fruit added pap they sell at Christmas).
I had to click onto a thread about cheese. Without the stuff I'd likely starve.
Rosemary, wild garlic yarg sounds good. Good job there's no cheese deli that I know of anywhere near me. I'd be skint and fat :~/
Our deli closed when Tesco came to town :(
I ave a deli with a good cheese selection less than a 5 min walk, I have to walk past it. They do a cheese of the month, its beer cheese this month, easy to ignore

Actually, no it propably isn't :~/
Once a month, as soon after pay day as possible, I make a pilgrimage to http://www.liverpoolcheesecompany.co.uk/ it's only a couple of miles away and yet somehow it takes all day to do a little bit of cheese shopping. It might have something to do with the nice pubs in Woolton Village.
Nice pubs and nice cheese, sounds an ideal combination :~)
I wouldn't dare visit that Mark, we went round a cheese factory in the Alps once on holiday and bought kilo's to bring home. One cheese for cooking got back but we scoffed the rest in a few days.
I do love an apple and Lancashire cheese tart but when I am in France I would eat St Marcelin or St Feliciene and an aged Cantal. I must say I agree about the unadulterated stilton much better left on its own. Boursin have brought out a fig flavoured cheese which is really great on small crackers or toasted baguette.
At the risk of being labelled a total pleb - I used to like Lymeswold!
Gouda. Or failing that a nice chewy styrofoam cup. On a water biscuit. With a tepid glass of water.
I did too Ignite. Did you see the article about blue cheese which said young people were afraid of the mould in blue cheese. When I think of some of the things they eat. Had anybody had any gorgonzola/marscapone recently - lately I'm getting rubbery 'tubes' (if you melt it) I suppose its where they've tried to speed up the mouldy process, but they aren't nice at all.
Ignite wrote: "At the risk of being labelled a total pleb - I used to like Lymeswold!"Yes I did. Well I had to I suppose, I'd contributed enough to the cost of development.
But yes I genuinely liked it.
So that's 3 of us. I wish they'd bring it back.
Had to google it - Lymeswold hysteria obviously completely bypassed Aberdeen at the time!
After an explosion in a French cheese factory all that was left was a pile of de brie.
Ignite wrote: "So that's 3 of us. I wish they'd bring it back."I suspect they won't, I'm not sure who even owns the recipe, the MMB no longer exists.
Apparently Cambozola, the German cheese competed against it and won, so it might be similar

Patti, you're repeating yourself. To much cheese?
I had blue cheese for the first time a few weeks ago, I didnt like it. Too strong a flavour. Takes more than a bit of mould to scare me!
Dunsyre Blue and Danish Blue are quite powerful but a reasonably young blue Stilton is quite mild and may be more to your taste Jud. Keep it a month past the sell by date and it is stronger and suitable for Stilton and broccoli soup.
There is only one true cheese in the world and that is Roquefort. (and you have no idea how difficult it is to admit that the French got it right)
I can hear your squeals from here.
I find this thread very interesting! Ive never heard of most of these! I'm not a big fan of cheese ): (or dairy in general, if I'm honest). I do like red liecester though! Haha. Up for trying new things though, and mum often buys a new cheese for me to try at Christmas. I am NOT a fan of 'oak smoked cheddar'!
On a side note, the first thing my fiancé said to me was 'do you like cheese?'.....
Well its an original chat-up line! Seems to have worked too.
Yup! Haha. It was so bizarre that I couldn't help but laugh! (:
Our British farmers produce a wonderful range of cheeses and I never buy anything else. One of the many joys of being retired is that shopping becomes a social activity rather than an irritating dash to a supermarket. I love chatting to cheese producers at farmers' markets, or visiting their premises. A few miles away we have the Sharpham Estate on the River Dart where we can see the beautiful Jersey herd and watch the cheese being made. Ask your local deli to get in Sharpham Rustic or Sharpham Elmhirst. Fabulous cheeses - but note they are unpasturised.
There are some great British smoked cheeses, Jud - and our dairy farmers need your support.

Cambazola's nice and I also like Dolecellata although I've probably made up the spelling!
Now I suspect you're all conspiring to wind me up!
I never find shopping a social activity Barry. I visit our local farm shop owned and operated by a beef farmer a couple of miles up the river from us. They stock their own and other named farmers' meat and also local cheeses, flour smoked foods etc. That makes a day that ends up at ASDA worthwhile - but I still don't like it!
Managed to eat some Stinking Bishop a few weeks back. I've tried on several occasions before but never got it passed my nose. Other than that and the stonger goat's cheeses I'll have anything.
I'm surprised, Kath. It's clear how important food is to you. I thought you'd enjoy chatting to the small producers who are so enthusiastic about what they do. We had our local monthly farmer's market on Sunday. It was a very pleasant morning spent chatting, sampling, and then bringing home bags of bread, cheese, meat and cider. Makes what was once a chore a genuine pleasure.
I can't be doing with Stinking Bishop. It lives up to its name. Bring any home and the whole house reeks of it.
B J wrote: "There are some great British smoked cheeses, Jud - and our dairy farmers need your support."I only ever buy cheddar and usually just whatever is on offer. I'm not a big cheese eater. My mum will buy the austrian smoked for my dad and when I'm home, if it's there, I snaffle it. hubby will occasionally buy different cheeses from the market in town though.
A mate of our's has a 'van down Tenby way and brings us a lovely selection of Welsh cheeses from a farm shop down there as often as possible.I agree there are amazingly good Brit cheeses.
Wonder if we've improved our cheese selection back home? Canadian cheddar was about the extent it, last I spent any time there.
A quick look on Google suggests that Canadian cheese making is a serious business and won 73 awards at the recent North American Cheese Festival. What really caught my eye was a category of cheese called ARTISANAL.I assume it's cheese made by artisans, but it doesn't sound too good.
Tit cheese!
Had a nipple and everything!
