What cheeses do you have in your fridge? In search of exciting new cheese

Yesterday, I got some Bleu d'Auvergne for the first time. We are really enjoying it. Have never met a blue cheese I didn't like, but when grocery shopping tend to always go for Roquefort/ Danish Blue/ Cashel Blue, all firm favourites.

But I want to get more adventurous! What do you have in your fridge that you really recommend?

Love all cheeses so needn't be blue. All ideas welcome Smile

Bleu d’affinois! It’s absolutely gorgeous. Creamy and blue.
I also have some soft goats and some Boursin, which I had on some fresh sourdough for lunch 🤤

At the moment we've got

Snowdonia Black Bomber (cheddar)
Harrogate Blue
Tickler Cheddar
Feta

Love all of them. My other current favourite is Tunworth, a strong, rinded soft cheese from Hampshire.

Manchego, lovely with quince paste. Also Jarlsberg slices for sandwiches (especially nice in Waitrose olive ciabatta).

A hood taleggio is with its weight in gold. Or reblochon.


Yum.

Old Amsterdam, Gorgonzola, brie, cheddar, Cheshire and Roquefort. DH is a veggie so we always have lots of different cheeses and mushrooms.

Am about to tuck into our Friday night cheese board😋. On it is Blacksticks Blue, Gruyere and Cornish Cove vintage Cheddar. Was also going to include a nice chunk of Brie but it fell into my mouth on the way to the cheese board 😁.

Awful selection right now, but my absolute favourite is Yarg.

Came on here for tips, and to recommend manchego. Particularly in a salad.

Also, one time the most expensive feta was on special offer in waitrose and it was amazing. I don't like feta but the expensive stuff is yummy!

Also comte.

St Agur blue creme. I'm obsessed with it, none in the fridge at the min - I only allow myself to have it at Christmas. My favourite food.

(None of these are in my fridge at the moment, that's more a wishlist)

Really trying to not eat so much bloody cheese at the moment, so reading this is a chance for me to live vicariously through all of you who have self control.

I have Green Thunder and Black Bomber, and a bit of Lancashire. Parmesan too, but that's not something I would shove a wee wedge of into my mouth (I'm heading to the fridge now).

I'm very fond of a little slice of Ossau-Iraty

And I think parmesan is underrated as a nibbling cheese rather than just a cooking cheese.

Cheese is good for your gut biome. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it

Wow, thank you for all these great ideas! I need to sit and google and analyse!

Also, fellow manchego and comte and gruyere fans, we are kindred spirits <3
