I was wondering if anyone has a favorite cheese? I was in Sam's Club the other day and unfortunately I went hungry- not a good thing to do. I was going to splurge and buy myself some cookies or a cake and then decided to check out the cheese section instead. I picked out a delicious Havarti cheese with dill and a white cheddar by Kerrygold. Both were a great change from my usual cheese and a much better choice. I also saw a strawberry infused goat cheese and a blueberry blue cheese crumble that I might try next time.

Does anyone have any suggestions for other good gourmet cheese?

I love all cheese, but Kerrygold Dubliner is one of my faves

costco has a delicious Gouda that is in a red rind and is NOT smoked. It's fabulous.

I'll fourth/fifth Kerrygold cheddar.

I love a fresh mozzarella, too. I warm it up in the microwave and eat it all stringy like with a fork. YUM.

Gorgonzola cheese is delish on anything. Like a spoon.

Whole Foods has a little section where they take the butts and ends of cheese and wrap them up tight in little 1-3 oz bundles and sell them cheap. It's a great way to try a little bit of cheese you would probably never think to try in what is basically a cheese stick size. You spend a few bucks and if you don't care for it, no big loss.

I've found some cheeses I've loved and a few I've hated. It's like a super cool treasure hunt.

P.S. Could we do one next on scotch?

Yuck! .

I'd join you but I'm bringing my own whiskey.

No love for Brie?? There is NOTHING better than a good Brie.

If I could eat just one thing for the rest of my life, it would be cheese. Sure, I'd be backed up all the time, but it would be so worth it!

I love all cheese - from good old processed American (don't judge) to fresh mozzarella and goat and feta, and provolone and Havarti and gouda and string cheese, and cream cheese, and Colby and jack, and I could go on. The only cheese I really do not care for is bleu cheese - I'm like a kid, just can't get past the mold factor,

I'm a whiskey girl too. :-)

@VSGAnn2014. We can also start one for rum. Yum rum... Coconut rum, pineapple rum, the list can go on...

@@LipstickLady I will have to make my way to Whole Foods so I can get some of those little pieces of cheese!! Good idea.

Feta is my favorite, then any REALLY seriously sharp cheese.

I have a woman nearby who makes cheese and stores them in a cave under her root cellar. How cool is that???

As far as cheese being constipating---

here's the plan:

Dried prunes dipped into seriously sharp rosemary cheese fondue.

Problem solved!!!

cheese is my friend. It is my go-to snack....asiago, sharp cheddar, fresh mozzarella. I haven't met very many that I don't like... (except recently, a blueberry goat cheese that tasted like feet).

Pepperjack. I'm addicted.

Slice of pear. Blue cheese and a caramelized pecan.

Fresh mozzarella & tomato slices, garnished with basil leaves.

I actually had this for lunch today, on skewers with grilled shrimp and a splash of balsamic vinegar.

I like Tilamook extra sharp cheddar ( black package) and the extra sharp cheddar from raleys is good

I agree on the blueberry goat cheese, can't really even call it a cheese. I found a new goat cheese called "purple haze" that is so good. We get it in a restaurant on a cheese and salami plate. That is the one we fight over. The only brie I like is Triple Cream.

I'm sort of a knuckle dragger here......no real good tips here.

I do love to get a slice or two of Swiss and hit it with Tobasco sauce.

I am going to try this... although I'm more of a Cholula man...
