Really depends on what I'm using it for, eating it with, or how I'm feeling...


but Gouda, Muenster, and Monterey Jack are all fantastic.

 

[Coppanuva]

What are the best cheeses for queso? Recipes I've read call for chihuahua, any better ones?

 

[MarkusRJR]

I want to try some more cheeses, but I don't want to buy some bad kinds. I currently like Mozzarella, Havarti, Cheddar, and occasionally Gouda. I dislike hot/spicy cheeses, smelly blue cheeses, and swiss cheese (which in my opinion tastes like the smell of a stinky shoe).


What would you recommend I try? I see a lot of good looking cheeses in this thread but I'm worried they'll be bad or not to my preferences.

 

[rykomatsu]

St. Andre
Parmigiano reggiano
Burrata

 

[geomon]

Gouda
Mozzarella
Ricotta

 

[NotBacon]

Everyone bow down before our lord and savior pepper jack.

The best cheese ever.

Spoiler

Fuck this monstrosity.

Nuke it from orbit.

 

[Zoned]

Provolone.

 

[RSP]

 

[Man God]

Been really getting into Havarti lately. Very versatile cheese.

 

[Frost_Ace]

Pecorino is king.

 

[Symphonia]

Put it in a burger bun, add some Worcester sauce and microwave for 20-30 seconds.

Heaven.

Well we got at least The Wire reference, so, pretty good.

 

[moka]

Cheddar and Feta.

 

[PJV3]

Stilton.
Red Leicester.
Haloumi.

I love most cheeses so this is hard.

 

[QuicheFontaine]

That's a very orange-looking cheddar in the OP. I thought it was usually yellower than that...

My pick is Lancashire crumbly - great on cream crackers or water biscuits!

Cheese laced with whiskey.

Hands down the intensest flavour I have experienced in any food, and easily one of the best. I had this one in Skye with some family friends at the end of big dinner, fantastic palette cleanser.

I so wanna try this.

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

Sharp cheddar all the way bitches

 

[PeskyToaster]

I love Pepper Jack on sandwiches, yum.

 

[moka]

I love Pepper Jack on sandwiches, yum.

Me too.

 

[OnionPowder]

No one likes provolone???

Best cheese hands down.

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

Best cheese hands down.

Tad too smoky

 

[SmokyDave]

Hot 'n' Spicy Cheddar is my favourite I reckon. That, or Edam.

Hell, anything mentioned so far will do. I'm yet to find a 'bad' cheese.

 

[zorlaczerohero]

Love Blue Cheese. Stilton is the king but this has a special place.

Yorkshire Blue.

 

[ppor]

Gruyere
Parmesan

smh at bland wet rubbery mozzarella

 

[Necromanti]

Exceptionally sharp and mature cheddar of the most intense and pungent sort.

Saint-André, a triple-cream cheese that is like a Brie with a consistency approaching butter.

I have enjoyed many a cheese, but I think those two are favorites that I'll never tired of.

 

[Rich!]

The hell, OP? That aint cheddar. That's a block of Red Leicester. This is cheddar:

 

[Blablurn]

Feta baby!

You haven't had a cheese toastie until you've had a feta cheese toastie

GOAT

 

[lednerg]

Mozzarella
Swiss
Provolone

I've been dying to try out Burrata, ever since I saw this:

[Shanks D Zoro]

Parmigiano-Reggiano

the single greatest cheese ever.

 

[popo]

google "cheese mites"

 

[zorlaczerohero]

The hell, OP? That aint cheddar. That's a block of Red Leicester. This is cheddar:

Proper cheddar takes the skin off the roof of your mouth.

 

[Rich!]

Proper cheddar takes the skin off the roof of your mouth.

Damn straight. Crumbling, blow your head off strength cheddar is the only way to go.

 

[Havel]

Snowdonia the GOAT.

 

[Stereogatari]

Turkish "Tulum Peynir" which is goat's cheese ripened in goatskin:

 

[Great-God]

Manchego is awesome but it isn't a melting cheese or as versitle as cheddar.

Who'd commit the crime of melting Manchego? It's a cheese to degustate, not to put on pizza.
French cheeses are fine, but after a year of living there and not tasting a single hard cheese, the creamy ones made me sick lol.
Not that I eat it that much nowadays, damn saturated fatty acids.

Fake edit: love all kinds of blue cheese (Roquefort, Cabrales...)

 

[CheDominik]

Nobody mentioned the GOAT Emmentaler yet?

 

[Liljagare]

This is my go-to..

 

[Apt101]

Cheddar. Sharp or mild, I can eat it with just about anything that cheese pairs with.

I don't know the name of it, but it's often melted and kind of thin in a lot of Mexican dishes.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Red Leicester, Mexicana, Buffalo Mozzarella

 

[Oblong Schlong]

Everyone, please stop saying GOAT for cheeses made without goat milk!

 

[Typhares]

Raclette!

Camembert!

Rocquefort!

And so many more!

 

[frankie_baby]

Has no one mentioned Lancashire yet, disappointed in you GAF, absolutely delicious and scientifically proven to make the best cheese on toast

 

[QuicheFontaine]

But I did mention it...

 

[veryslowhand]

good cabrales comes from a cave

 

[PJV3]

I'm gonna give Cheshire cheese an honourable mention, it's very crumbly though.

 

[ElectricThunder]

I'm just glad to see such a fine spread getting due accolades here in the land on NeoGAF, may IronGAF bless you all---probably have to recuse myself though...

 

[RangerX]

I've always loved smoked applewood. I could eat that all day.

 

[RumblingRosco]

Feta baby!

You haven't had a cheese toastie until you've had a feta cheese toastie

The only person I ever met that called a grilled cheese a cheese toastie lived in Central Illinois. Are you from Central Illinois?

Oh, and I love Asiago cheese. Pepper jack is also great.
