Manchego is a completely different cheese here in Mexico, i wonder why.

Really? What's it like over there?

 

[Augustus Caesar]

Fresh mozzarella, no doubt.

Anybody eat Beer Kase cheese? I've used it for catfish bait but never seen anybody eat it. I smells awful. We always put it under water before opening the container to put some on a treble hook using rubber gloves.

No love for the mysterious and knotted Oaxaca cheese?

Try Jarlsberg... @Rawex @Valkosen @lsa

I grew up eating jarlsberg lol. I would always eat this with fresh bread rolls if i didn't get any dinner. It's a very mild taste, but i like it. Didn't even know they sold this in America(?).

Wikipedia agrees...

In Mexico and Spanish-speaking areas of the United States, manchego or queso tipo manchego (manchego-type cheese) is the name given to a cow's milk cheese similar in taste to Monterey Jack. It melts well and is often used in quesadillas. Apart from the name, this cheese has little in common with the Spanish variety.[8]

I wonder why the Spaniards haven't slapped them with a PDO complaint.

They take that shit seriously.

I'm a cheese lover. I eat a lot of cheese. My diet requires that I eat about 200 grams of fat (ketogenic diet, if you're wondering), and eating cheese helps me meet the daily quota for the day.

Here are some of my favorite types of cheese:

La Vache qui Rit (The Laughing Cow)

This thing is like crack to me. I can eat a wheel or two of this thing in one sitting - it's just that addictive. The texture is similar to that of whipped cream cheese - very suave, can be easily spread on crackers or toast, and literally melts in your mouth. The taste is very mild and a little sour. I prefer to eat these morsels alone.

Babybel

These little bitesized wheels of cheese come encased in a wax shell. The taste is a little bitter at first with a mild aftertaste, and the texture is a gelatin-like, similar to that of mozzarella. I can eat a whole bag of them in a blink of an eye.

Feta Cheese

I love feta cheese. I crumble a small block of it on my broccoli and cauliflower salad and top it with Caesar dressing.

Provolone

I buy the pre-sliced packages. It's got a very smoky, yet mild taste to it, and the texture is a tad hard. It's got a pungent aroma that might turn some people off, but I don't mind it. After all, I am a foot fetish enthusiast.

Blue Cheese

This is probably the most polarizing cheese of all - either you really hate it or you really love it. In my case, it's the latter. Perhaps the blue mold in the cheese can be off-putting to some people, but for me, I think it gives it a nice flavor and look. The consistency is similar to that of feta cheese - crumbly and a bit dry. I like to top it on my bun-less hamburgers, pork chops, steaks, and broccoli/cauliflower salads. Plus, they go great with buffalo wings - the thicker the sauce the better. Ranch is too runny and boring for me.


Here's an item on my bucket list:

Casu marzu

Maggot infested cheese. Why the hell not?

It totally depends on the type of food you are putting it on, but cheddar is often my go to (especially for burgers).

Let us not forget paneer, which does not get nearly enough attention in western cuisine for what is such an amazingly versatile cheese:

That's grilled blocks of cheese. Like, on a grill. Paneer doesn't melt, so it can be used almost anywhere you'd use meat or tofu. Grill it, stew it, stir fry it, etc.

I want to eat this:

But I keep thinking of cheesy maggots now.
