A friend of mine served a delicious cheese at her house a few weeks ago. I love it.

White Stilton With Mango and Ginger. (The label also says "Handmade British Cheese.)

Picked up some Maasdam today; never tried it before.

I had that around Christmas, Joan. Might be the same brand, i think the one i had was English. Pretty good and made a nice change.

Yes, it is a nice change. It is rather creamy and quite sweet, and I have a sweet tooth.

I'm wondering what some of you cheese aficionados think about the prices of some of your favorite cheeses. What do you consider expensive or pricey for cheeses? The White Stilton that I mentioned is $23.00 a pound at my local cheese store, and I thought that was really expensive, but then I'm not a cheese expert.

In Canada, decent cheese is really expensive compared to back home in the north of England. I think here it's about $8 to $10 upwards for 200g of cheese. Madness.

Królewski, a Polish cheese, is my latest "discovery." Love it.

The above-mentioned cheese goes great with Moscow-style ham and rye and "Kinto" mustard.

I'll give the Królewski a try in melted form with a burger or something later this week.

In Olomuoc, Czech Republic, there's an infamously pungent cheese called Olomoucké tvaružky.

https://foodperestroika.com/2017/07/19/czech-impressions-olomouc-cheese-part-2/

I'd love to try it, which would be something Rick Steves-- a jackass, middle-brow tit travel host--lacked the courage to do.

Skip to 1:54 to see his sin of omission:

Mine is still Madrigal, but I'm getting curious about some of the "weird" cheeses mentioned by Jim and others here.

I notice that cheese is like drugs. You start off on mild cheddar and Dairylea but it's just a gateway to the charcoal-smoked extra-mature and mould-streaked stuff.

This has proven to be my experience, as well. I think I am honing a fearlessness when it comes to trying "exciting", new-to-me cheeses.

Mr. Birri and I are currently enjoying a cheese flight of Cello Irish Cheddar, Smoked Gouda, and Dijon & Herb Rubbed Fontal (the latter my new fave)!

For New Year's Eve I have an orphaned tray of cheese from Christmas which reminiscent of an unwanted, unwritten Bruce Marshmallow article.

What, you mean crumbs scattered everywhere, half-eaten sentences, bite-size words and letters missing, superflous fullstops buried among the cheese and no cohesion about how the cheese is organised? Yeah know exactly the type of article you mean. wink


I shuda got on faves for this Phelps. big grin

It surprises me it didn't! I even panned through the thread to see if I already included it!

My perennial favorite is Société Roquefort. Paired with a good red Bordeaux it can't be beat.

Tried out another cheese from Poland, Podlaski.

https://shop.kramarczuk.com/products/podlaski-cheese

"Podlaski is somewhat firmer than the staple cheeses of Poland. It has a semi-soft, smooth texture and a mild, slightly sweet flavor. It is a good cooking and table cheese. Serve it with fresh fruit and dark, hearty bread."

I've really gone cheese mental recently.

I understand there is an outstanding warrant out for that cheese's arrest.

"Hey, kitty cat!"
