What's the best flavor of cheese?

Poll is public. 

 

Looking to see which of you philistines are going to choose American.

[“Misdirection”]

Ricotta

[The 12th Commandment]

Parmesan of the reggiano variety

I'm a cheese freak. Can't choose. In my fridge right now there's both white &

yellow American, aged swiss, sharp cheddar (sliced and shredded), colby jack, pimento spread, and bleu crumbles. I usually get a port wine ball for the weekend. 

If I had the space & the money, I'd have a cheese aisle in my house.

😳Da ****? That's the one I don't consider cheese...no flavor. 

[MintHillSkinsFan]

All those cheeses are amazing because, you know, CHEESE!   Each one stands well alone or compliments certain flavors and textures.  But I chose "other" because I LOVE LOVE LOVE smoked gouda.  I love anything smoked anyway but the creaminess of gouda and the smoky flavor it adds to any dish makes it my personal favorite.

[HOF44]

I'm partial to Fontina. 

[Renegade7]

I'm jus happy Velveeta wasnt a poll option.  My brain has now permanently linked the liquid gold commercials to President Gemstone asking why we all sick in the first place...

[Spaceman Spiff]

As for me, I'm on a big mozzarella kick lately.  Have been making my omelettes with it and it's awesome.  

[NoCalMike]

Honestly, good ol' Cheddar Cheese is probably what I use the most due to it's versatility, but on sheer taste?  Smoked Gouda is absolute bliss.

 

Mozzarella is probably 2nd on the "gets used the most in my house" list. 

[skinsmarydu]

Yeah, forgot about the smoked gouda. When I was in the hospital, hubby started buying it in big blocks. A nice chunk on the side of dinner is common now, I don't buy the slices anymore.

I swear I picked American before I even saw this.

 

It's not that I think it's the best on it's own, but because every time I get a burger or egg sandwich or grinder I always get American I kinda felt obligated to choose it.

it's all good, even Velvetta

I personally think it's the best for grilled cheese sandwiches, and then dipped in tomato soup.

Cheddar is my favourite cheese by far, although I've never heard of sharp Cheddar.  We usually have mild, medium, mature, extra mature and vintage. I go through phases of preferring mature or extra mature.

 

Unfortunately I'm cutting at the moment (fat-loss), so cheese is off the menu for the next eight to twelve weeks . 

[RemoveSnyder]

[twa]

mature and vintage are versions of sharp, the longer it ages the sharper and more complex it gets

[skinsmarydu]

I think your mature is our sharp, we have "extra" in that regard as well. Love it. 

Our farmers market has cheeses from everywhere, and iirc my favorite swiss is from Denmark.

I voted Feta, but I love goat cheese too.  I love nacho too, but it's not on the list.  Is that not "cheesy" enough?

[China]

Can't pick just one.  It depends on what you're pairing it with.  I don't think I ever eat cheese just by itself.  Cheddar for a grilled cheese sandwich paired with tomato soup.  Swiss with ham, pastrami or on a reuben.  Goat cheese with fruit like a fig spread or in a salad with walnuts and cranberries.   Blue cheese with bacon in a salad or on a burger.  Mozzarella on a pizza or fresh with basil and tomato.  Parmesan is practically a condiment that you sprinkle or grate over pasta (or that I add to my mashed potatoes).

It's the presidential cheese.  Bulgarian sheep's milk feta in the brine.  Prolly my second favorite

Saganaki is awesome.  Although often it is graviere, not feta.

 

 

Opa!

[Pick6]

Wow no Goat cheese on the list. Hands down the best cheese.

[TradeTheBeal!]

All cheeses are wonderful.  I offer a top 5, unranked.

 

Blue.  Gotta be really dank, tho.

Muenster.  Perfection on a turkey sandwich, melts perfectly.

Manchego.  Spanish charcuterie is everything.

Brie.  I like it creamy.

Whole Milk Mozz.  The perfect flavor delivery device.

[LadySkinsFan]

I like all cheeses except the smelly ones. I picked gruyere because I am Swiss. I have yellow American, manchego, parmesan, cheddar, and havarti in the fridge right now. I have some kind of cheese in almost every dish I make, plus cheese to eat with crackers my favorite snack.

[Spaceman Spiff]

I've been using mozzarella in my omelettes lately and it's a total game changer.

Can't lie, American is pretty good on a burger.
