^^ Chaumes, a soft cheese with a rich but very soft flavor
^^Beaufort cheese, made in the Haute Savoie region in the french alps, actually one of my ski friends is also a farmer and his cows produce the milk to make this cheese, so that probably also plays in why i like it so much
depending on the age it varies, young cheeses are softer and have a neutral taste, great for on sandwiches or using it in meals with molten cheese, tartiflette, cheese fondue, etc..
the older ones are very dry and become quite brittle, they have a very strong taste that you need to appreciate, tastes best with a glass of red wine or Geneppi
Cabot extra sharp cheddar. Greyere. Parmesan reggiano. Land o Lakes white American. Port wine. The list goes on and on. Mozzarella might be king though.
spiced gouda!! i had the greatest gouda nachos the other week at a small deli, melted gouda with peppers and some other stuff in a bowl with toasted chips around it, so damn good.
