Cheese-Fi

Thread Starter 
Anyone here into high quality cheese? I've been enjoying some good cheeses lately like the European blue cheese, brie and the British cheese is excellent too. Unfortunatley, those kinds of high quality cheeses are expensive so I eat small amounts and not too often. I love good cheese though. Is cheese more affordable in Europe since it's local? I remember eating cheese in Europe but I did not pay attention to the price.

Anyone else enjoy cheese?

Haha, I really thought this thread was going to be about cheesy music!

I'm not a cheese aficionado, but I can hardly eat pastas without grated cheese.

european blue? british cheese, erm you realise those are all huge regions for cheese production, i think you really need to get much much more specific in the regional cheeses and or cheese types. personal fav is y fenni Y Fenni (cheese) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

and i think you prob mean danish blue, its certainly the most commonly available blue cheese here, its everywhere, others most shops wont have unless they a proper sized supermarket

edit: or just nosey arround waitrose's website they pretty good for yummy bits and bobs

The British Cheese?

Might as well go for the K1000 of cheese-fi:
Casu marzu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Some quotes:

"Casu marzu literally means "rotten cheese" in Sardinian and is known colloquially as maggot cheese."

"Some people clear the larvae from the cheese before consuming; others do not."

"...diners hold their hands above the sandwich to prevent the maggots from leaping into their eyes."


Awesome!

Brie is my favourite, it's not too expensive at $5 for ~200g or so. Especially on those scottish oatcakes, delicious!

I love all kinds of cheese, except perhaps some over-fermented or rotten (casu marzu) varities. A good roquefort with some fruits and good wine is hard to beat. Parmesans are also among my favourites. There are just so many good cheeses that you can never get tired of them.

there's always a jarlsberg in my fridge. Some times there's some brunost, I prefer Innherred or regular fløtemysost when it comes to brunost. When I want some proper goats cheese I prefer chévre.

Brunost is awesome stuff. Has a wierd liqourish taste that I really enjoy. Also the consistensy is fun. A very unusual taste.
