In truth, any cheese will do for me. I am a cheese ***** for sure.

I love cheese and living in EU is great because of all the cheese selections. Lately been enjoying a swizz with infused chili.

My all time favorite is Tête de Moine. I haven't really met a cheese I don't like though.

I love Cheese, god I really love the stuff.

I've just got a beautiful French Epoisses out the fridge and I'm watching it melt onto the board as it's coming up to room temperature.

Epoisses is the king for me, nothing comes close; cheese perfection.

Is anyone else a cheese *****? If so what's your all time favourite?

I have to agree with this. Nothing comes close to this beautiful soft wash rind. Such an amazing cheese. I urge everyone to give it a taste. Wonderful rich, sharp, creamy, nutty, full flavoured cheese. It really offers something for those who like big hearty blue, sharp cedars and smooth Brie. Prefect cheese in my mind.

Great topic. I stayed in Epoisses and ate tons of their cheese while staying there. Fantastic cheese and town...some of my favorites are: roaring 40's blue, parmagiano reggiano for sure, cave-aged gruyere, and some excellent local cheeses from Bobolink dairy. They make some exceptional cheeses with raw milk from their pastured cows.

I love cheese.. My favorite is good old fashioned brick cheese. Nothing really fancy. My grandparents would have some every night with a little fresh cracked black pepper and a glass of sherry. When I was really young they would always let me have some too whenever my family visited.

My fondness for it comes from good memories more than anything else.

Man, the crystals are my favorite part of aged cheeses. Super delicious. Now I need to research what causes them cause I'm curious.

Recipe please?

In Parmesan, Gruyere, and aged Gouda, the crystals may be calcium lactate or else tyrosine, an amino acid produced by protein breakdown that has limited solubility in these low-moisture cheeses.

My favourite cheese is the Swedish Westerbotten Ost. An excellent companion to a full-bodied red wine.

When storing it in the fridge the cheese starts "sweating" and salt crystals emerge on the surface making the cheese even more savory (yummy).
