aged gouda from trader joes

it was so good

It certainly didn’t look that way when I bought it from Whole Foods. It was hand wrapped in cellophane. Is it safe to eat?

Is the rind on all cheeses that have one edible? Or only certain one

I’ve just begun my cheese journey and in my excitement I have amassed a small cheese collection. I’m posting to flex. All were purchased at either Shaw’s in Vermont, Murray’s in Manhattan, Stand Alone Cheese in Jackson Heights, or Trader Joe’s.

I have not tried all of them yet. I am most excited to try the Harbison. My favorites so far are: 7, 9, 15, and 17. If you have any recommendations for new cheeses, please let me know!

The cheeses are:

1. Parmigiano Reggiano
2. Comté
3. Bulgarian white brined sheep’s cheese
4. Brie with truffles
5. Boursin (shallot and chive)
6. Boursin (garlic and fine herbs)
7. Délice du Poitou
8. Uzbek Kurt
9. Humboldt Fog
10. Coperthwaite
11. Manchego
12. Blue Stilton
13. Truffle Brie
14. Iberico
15. Rogue River Blue (my favorite)
16. Stockinghall cheddar
17. Mini Basque
18. 1,000 day aged Gouda
19. Manchego Añejo
20. Quadrello di Bufala
21. Port Salut
22. Roquefort
23. Le Délice de Bourgogne
24. Harbison
25. Borgonzola

I recently acquired some cheddar and onion cheese and am looking for a cracker to pair with it. Any ideas?

to the love for cheese: shop in Saint-Affrique 🇫🇷

If you're looking for the best cheese for sandwiches hands down would be Cooper sharp cheese. It's at nearly every store I like the white and orange. It's considered a similar hard sharp cheese. It's very good and has a creamy yet soft sharp flavor. I like it on sandwiches or by itself and I'll brake it into 1/2 in size an put it on ritz crackers. Trust me its delicious and worth the wait at the deli.

Treated myself to some wonderful cheeses from the Cheese Shed in Bovey Tracey, Devon (absolutely recommended)

From left to right - Bath blue, Harvest Moon (washed rind cows milk), Rachel (washed rind goat) and Lucky Marcel (UK riff on St Marcelin) in the centre.

Chuck in a few olives, some Shropshire salami and bread and I'm happy as a pig in the proverbial.

I’ve been wanting to taste Rogue River Blue since moving up north 2 years ago and they finally stocked it!! The cheese lady said to get it while it’s hot, that we won’t be getting it again for a while. Also hit a wedge of the Oregon Blue.

Any serving recommendations? I usually enjoy blues with honey, fig jam and almonds or walnuts on an entertainment cracker. Or by the spoon full, there’s no shame here!

Hi everyone, tried this blue cheese during my travel in Gold Coast, Australia. Tasted like Roquefort. Not sure which type/brand of this? Tried to ask staff there, but they're not sure and ask me might need to ask someone in the kitchen...😂 This "roquefort" has a special blue line from the central, if you know it's likely from which brand or which type or it's not roquefort at all maybe?

Thank you so much.

Brie is great, but I’m looking for better. Where to?

I just ate 2 melted babybels and it was SO much better than unmelted

Just opened this 1/4 wheel today. The remnants of quality control from Marcel Petite. Around 1-5% of Comte wheels are actually tasted. Exciting! Like a little easter egg

So you’re nominated head of the world cheese council and tasked with eliminating one cheese forever. Which cheese is going and why?

I love cheese and I like fruit. I like apples and cheese, chutneys with cheese, quince jelly with cheese but please for the love of all that is holy don’t put fruit or berries in my cheeses!

I got this in a "mystery bag" of cheeses. I loved it so much I saved the cloth rind (in my car's cupholder lol I was camping). Honestly by now I don't really remember the taste or texture exactly, I think it may have been similar to a comté but not sure. I just remember wanting to get more of it!

Went to make an Amazon return at Whole Foods yesterday, and decided to peruse the cheese selection. Snagged two wedges of Humboldt Fog that were already on sale this week, and additionally marked down another 50%. Got these bad boys for $8 combined. The glee on my face as I walked to the register… 😁

making a silly post, because I love cheese and I love this community here.

I'm going on a date tonight and I was tasked with bringing Cheese, along with records for listening.

I'm thinking, some sort of semi-soft, maybe a hard and something in between? any good cheese pairings you've been thinking about? I'm going to the store soon.

please don't make this post sexual, or do, I guess

What can make a lame week a little better? A Saturday morning cheese run! Weekend is looking up.

I’m pretty sure the lighter one at the top is pecorino? Currently have sinus issues so can’t use my nose to investigate further lol
