I'm guessing this isn't the proper thread to discuss Cheez Whiz or Velveeta, huh? :-?

I sampled a 3 year gouda at the store this past weekend. Very good.

They are pretty fancy, but beer cheese is probably the primary "specialty" cheese around these parts.

Cheese is apparently good for the enamel on your teeth after you've had a meal. I saw this on a programme though and don't have a link. Every type is delicious anyway.

This makes a great grilled cheese if you have a fresh sourdough.

Aged Sharp Cheddar is my favorite but I also have a soft spot for most aged salty cheeses.

I have a cholestorol problem.

You need to try an aged Mimolette.

When I was in Italy I bought some type of swiss cheese at a local deli. It was extremely sharp and did not have a pleasant odor. But the taste was phenomenal. Any of you Euros know of a similar cheese? I never wrote the name down and have no idea what it may be called.

We bought some Torta Gorgonzola while we were on holiday. It's basically Gorgonzola layered up with marscapone in alternate slices. It's also probably the most delicious way to eat yourself into a dairy based heart attack.

That sounds delicious but you are European and did not help me with my swiss problem.
