I don't each much cheese, but a couple times a week I love really good ones with red wine. I prefer a dryer cheese, usually from sheep's milk. Most are between $16-$22 /lb. so, not cheap! Lately: - Corobes - El Trigal - Manchego - Brenta What are some others to try? -Billy
I love cheese... My favorites: Gruyere - the real stuff not pasturized Livarot - great with calvados Shropshire blue St. gougivale - like st. andre but much creamier and not processed fresh buffalo Mozzarella Montgomery chedder
I am French and our cheeses are very good, but I made a dinner recently where there were only English cheese: Stilton, Caerphilly, Cheddar, Cheshire, and it was a delight for our taste.
Spitot, you come to Bordeaux or not? You were talking about Chateaux Yquem? I have a bottle waiting for you to drink with my foie gras!
Never had Farm House, but extra sharp cheddar is my favorite. Billy, I'd say a couple times a week is quite a bit of cheese.:
If you like a milder goat cheese with a little twist, try Drunken Goat cheese. It's soaked in red wine. It's a firmer, very mild, cheese. I haven't really found a Manchego that did much for me but would like to. Serve the drunken goat with some great Serrano ham, a warm, crusty baguette, and a nice glass of wine and I'm a happy man!!
Taleggio, Piave, Drunken Goat, yeh had those too, fantastic. You guys need to try Brenta from Italy. Same vain...fantastic flavor. -Billy
You're right man! I need to cut down to maintain my girlish figure. BUT...it's the wine I'm worried about! -Billy
big chunk of feta with some crusty bread, kalamata olives and restina Limburger and pickled sausage with hot brown mustard on a cracker and a cold stella artois
Morbier - from Jura mountains. with ashes in the middle... Epoisses - a real stinker from Bourgogne. But it tastes divine Swedish Västerbotten. - loads of taste! really good! Gamle ole. - Danish cheese the is really smelly but very, very good!
There is a small farm in upstate NY that make a hard cheese with hops. There are literally flakes of hops in the cheese. It is simply amazing.
Delice de Bourgogne form Didier Lincet. You can find it at a Whole Foods for sure. It's not stinky but totally creamy and delicious (Triple cream I believe). Spread it over a baguette and you'll be in heaven. Enjoy.
