Your Favorite (Stinky) Cut: Cheeses

[Pokeguyjai]

I am a big fan of cheeses, even though I do not really eat them often. As with all of the finer things in life, a palette needs to be developed and I think cheeses have a more interesting journey than wine, tea, or beer.

What are your favorite cheeses and with what/how do you like to pair them with? Something as simple as pepperjack with a roast beef sandwich, or maybe an intense Swiss Cheese with a sweet glass of Riesling? Let us know, anything goes!

I tell you what, it isn't for the faint of heart! I tried one last year that didn't make it past the gag reflex...while smelling it...never even made it to the lips! Can;t remember the name of it though.

Kerrygold Dubliner, straight-up or paired with some good, no additive salami or prosciutto.

Or any manner of artisan crafted grass fed, raw cheeses.

Yeah, that is great stuff, not really stinky though...at least not to me.

NY State Extra Sharp Cheddar and warm apple pie!!!

[Pokeguyjai]

A nice paleo lunch that I got from John Chambers is cheese and cold cuts. A few pieces of sharp cheddar/light swiss with a beautiful soppressata/salami (I prefer to buy the small whole ones, no Hormel please) keeps me going until dinner.

My favorite cheese is Swiss. I don't like bold flavors straight up, and the Swiss gives be a great blend of creaminess/bitterness and is the only cheese than I can really enjoy eating by itself.

I haven't really been drawn to wine and cheese pairings, but if anybody has one then I'd try it.

(And people say my mayo pb sandwich is disgusting...)

Never had it but I would love to.

[Mr. Anthony]

Not stinky, but a good raw whole milk mozzarella is astoundingly tasty. Actually, thinking about it more...holy crap do I like almost every high-quality cheese.

Creamy havarti, double cream brie...oh man.

mmmm cheese. theres so many good ones and good combos. and at thr same time sooo many bad ones. ill add more when im at my computer vs phone. this should be fun as i use to sell meats and cheeses.

Roquefort or Gorgonzola on a simple wheat cracker with just about any red wine. Can't be beat. The stinkier, the better!

[Gun Mutt]

Fromunda perhaps? C'mon, somebody was gonna say it!

And Havarti Horseradish is great with a hard salami. My mother & grandmother used to eat Limburger on mini-rye slices...utterly disgusting to share the car with them on a road trip.

Back to the OP: Limburger, as The Chalet Cheese Cooperative in Monroe, Wisconsin is the now the only American company that makes this cheese.

With friends like you ... :wink:

My wife is the real cheese snob in the family, but one of our favorites is Saint Agur Blue. We usually enjoy it spread generously on baguettes or crackers, and occasionally served with a small glass of Eiswein.

Costco Dutch Gouda....

I gave up a lot of vices in my life but not this cheese.

Meunster with sliced apples and reisling.

Tough question to answer. All of the above?
Since my wife is Greek, real feta, from both sheep and goat's milk. Or even Bulgarian feta, but not American cow's milk trash. Gorgonzola, Stilton, and other artisanal blues, most soft-ripening French and Italian cheeses, cheddars, gruyere, and manchego, and I can't live without Reggiano Parm and Locatelli Romano in the house.
And don't get me started on cured meats...

I might have to, cured meats is one of the things we do here at work and well... I am always open to new ideas :grin:

Cheese. Delicious, tangy, creamy, stinky, sometimes crumbly. Cheese.

Favorites:

Maytag Blue (especially when paired with a good hunk of cow)
Jarlsberg Swiss/Emmentaler
Wensleydale w/ cranberries
Cotswold
Scamorza
Smoked Gouda
Pecorino Romano
Velveeta (yes, loved it since I was a kid -- especially melted w/ a can of Ro-Tel or chili mixed in for a dip)
And, because the CO is of Sicilian heritage, Caciocavallo.

[RJW]

English Stilton paired with a vintage Port. Also on the cheese plate, walnuts drizzled with honey and tart apple or pear slices.

[fidalgoman]

I looked up what people considered stinky cheeses and found that for the most part I like them and don't at all consider the odor offensive. I think what's stinky to one person is simply aromatic to someone else. Kind of what you're used to or grew up around "taints" your taste buds .:approve:

[PRDubi]

Government cheese is good also.

Our maid used to give it to us.
