After much contemplation, fasting, prayer, scientific analysis and finger licking, I have finally determined that GOAT CHEESE is my favorite cheese. Creamier than feta, tangier than cream cheese, it's truly the formaggio for me.
What's your favorite cheese?

brie, camembert, or a nice, sharp cheddar. :)
Me likee goat for all the same reasons you mentioned. Allow me to throw in some meunster, buffalo mozzeralla, havarti, manchego, and perhaps a classic parmagianno reggianno (sp).While we are discussing this heated topic lets not hide from the elephant in the room and talk about the problem we are all afraid to mention. The biggest travesty in the world , bigger than slavery, cancer(sorry Mrs.Jay),sweat shops, poverty,AIDS, global warming and Arrested Development being canceled( after only 3 seasons! )is LACTOSE INTOLERANCE! Think of the poor dairy free people walking among us everyday struggling to live without cheese on their burger, yogurt with their granola and so sorry birthday girl no ice cream with that choclate cake (you need ice cream with cake how else can you cut the sweetness?) So I say lets band together in the spirit of good will and common decency and help our milk chalenged friends by raising money for research to finaly beat the disease so we can all live in a dairy filled world and chocolate milk will never again be just an unatainable dream!
amen, fellow dairy lover!
Asking me to name my favorite cheese is like asking which of my children I love more. It's the Sophie's Choice of culinary decisions.
I feel the same way ng does. There are even those dishes that make gorgonzola taste good. (Rare dishes, but they do exist.)
Funny how many people are closet cheese snobs, like my whole family. We sit around every Sunday, while my Dad slices and passes whatever Mom found at Costco that week.
All cheese is my favorite. Well, maybe not american cheese singles.
on crackers - mild cheddar
on sandwiches - pepper jack or provolone
on beef dip - swiss
on hamburgers - kraft singles
on salad - feta
low-cal snack - string cheese
on lasagna - mozzerella
on spagehetti - parmesan
i'd say it depends. :)
sorry janaya, kraft singles are good for nothing. just keep them in the store. i gotta say a baked brie with pesto, sun dried tomatoes and pine nuts served on crostini is the best of the best. also, gorgonzola is delicious. wow, this really is a hot topic.
eh... im not a huge cheese fan. sometimes it's ok when i won't be able to taste it too much :P
don't hate ><
As I have gotten older, my tastes in cheese have changed. As a kid it was all about Velveeta. I wouldn't have touched a bleu or a gorgonzola with a twenty-seven foot cheese spreader with a little santa on the end. Then ... like two years ago ... I discovered gorgonzola and now I can't get enough of it.
Sorry, Velveeta.
I didn't think that kraft singles or velveeta counted as cheeses! We weren't allowed to have them in our house.
For every day uses swiss & sharp cheedar. Special occasions (which could include me deciding at that moment in the store that I have a hankering for it) brie, blue, havarti. mmmmmm :)
About that lactose intolerance...Has anyone else had an issue with consuming soo much dairy that their body turns on them and develops L.I.? Because it's a depressing thing to have to deal with consuming dairy in small amounts or not at all when I used to be able to do the complete opposite.
GIMMIE THAT EXTRA EXTRA SHARP CHEDDDAR.
NOW DATS' DA SHIZZZZZZZ. YA'LL AINT HOOD NUFF TO HANDLE DA ISH!
GET IT RIGHT GET IT RIGHT GET IT TIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGHT!
TILLAMOOK BE DA ISH!
Ina Garten (the Barefoot Contessa) has a great lasagna recipe that uses goat cheese. Yum!
I love almost everything that calls for a dairy product. Of course my favorite go-to cheese is cheddar. Not any cheddar, though. It has to be Tillamook brand. I married an Oregonian who insisted we only buy Tillamook cheddar cheese and now I am hooked. There really is a difference. Of course this explains the difference in price too.
Favorite salad- salad caprese (or however you spell it). Tomatoes, basil leaves, FRESH mozzarella all covered in balsamic vinegar, olive oil and kosher salt. YUMMMY
hey - mr. dub - did you know they sell tillamook (shredded) cheese now?
current favorites:
mozzarella di buffalo
havarti (great with shrimp cocktail)
goat cheese
I love all cheese. Thank goodness for Lactaid. I should buy stock in it. Anyway, on the mild end, Port-Salut is soft like Brie, and you can spread it on a piece of thick, crusty bread. Delish! And I love really strong bleu on a spinach salad with strawberries! Your post has made me hungry! And I'm definitely going to try Hilari's suggestion!
Mr. Fabulous brought home some White extra sharp cheddar 2 months ago, and now I am addicted!
Gruyere
All cheeses, really.
Emmenthal, manchego, Parmegiano Reggiano(sheep and cow), brie, camembert, fresh mozzerella, fontina, Jarlsberg, havarti, gouda, smoked gouda, blue, gorgonzola, chevre, goat, sheep, cow, you name it. Anything but processed.
mmmm...brie and swiss.
I am not very well-versed in cheeses and it wouldn't take long to list off all the ones I've tried, but I do like yummy, creamy, havarti.
You know what's so tasty too, mini babybels on wheat thins.
Goat cheese. I've said it before, but don't even get me started on Goat Cheese. It's Da BOMB, Baby! Da Bomb!
Tillamook anything rads, especially aged white cheddar. And yes anonymous, I did know that they sell shredded cheese.
blue cheese... yum! And- take it easy Hilary- everyone is entitled to their opinion!
no, there is no democracy when it comes to cheese.
My motto is: the smellier the better. The more it smells like feet the tastier it's gonna be.
