I don't know a lot about cheese. Thinking of trying some this Christmas.
What should I try?
Brand names helpful!

Twelve your post is naughty 
I've just lost half a stone and I swear I put it all back on when I looked at your link
Oh well done Fly!
You could get something small and strong tasting so you don't eat too much of it... <this is why I have NOT lost half a stone!>

Twelve it would have to be very small 
going shopping in a different area this afternoon, so I think I'll just have a quick search for cheese shops there or en route
It's difficult to make recommendations without knowing your tastes. My mum loves Camembert and smelly Brie, but hates anything blue. I love blue cheese with Port. DD loves cheddars and I find them either too boring or mouth-stingingly strong.
The best thing to do is go to the cheese counter and try a few. Waitrose usually have a good selection in. Good cheese can also be eye-wateringly expensive.
Serve cheese at room temperature, not straight from the fridge. If it stays cold then you can store it outside if it's a bit stinky. Ensure it's well covered and secure from cats and rats though.

Ossau-iraty is really yummy. It's a ewe's milk cheese and available in Tesco
