What’s your favourite cheese?

[Onionbhajisandwich]

I love cheese - it’s a real indulgence at Christmas. I like to get a few different sorts in and always try something new. What are your favourites and recommendations that I can look out for this year?

Applewood

PS. Buy some Peter’s Yard sourdough biscuits mmmmmm!
Enjoy.
I can manage a little sheep’s cheese.

All of them ....

So - biscuits/ crackers?
What do you like/love/hate ?

Stinking Bishop
Brie de Meaux
Stilton
St Giles (from the High Weald Dairy in Sussex)
Epoisses
Lime and Chilli Cheddar from The Great British Cheese Company
Gorgonzola dolce
Ardrahan
Emmental
Gruyere

I like cheese.

Neufchatel, delicious balance between creamy, mushroomy, chalky middle, then gets more ripe and less chalky the longer it's left

Yes.
Crackers/biscuits, sure, I just buy a selection.
Mainly cheese though.
I can't even choose a favourite.

Fen Farm Dairy's Baron Bigod . Even better is the truffled version .

DH bought me a kilo of it as a Christmas present last year . It didn't last till January ...

As mild as possible so mozzarella or Edam. I'm also partial to a bit a lot Of Wensleydale with stem ginger or Wensleydale with cranberries.

Stilton with apricots
Wensleydale with cranberries

I do like Brie best of all if it’s on a panini

Red Leicester has my heart

Initiating sex with cheese [Grin]
If you're not in to Stinking Bishops, just have a shower first.

Epoisses - it's devine

It's around all year now, but used to be just a Christmas thing - Wensleydale with Cranberries in.
Now that it's in the shops all year round, I probably have it less.

Had a baked camenbert that was a starter in a Tesco meal deal last week - with Chunky Chips - amazing.

I'm the most boring person in the world. I hate strong cheese, but I could eat Edam on Tuc crackers all day.

I am surprised no one has mentioned Vacherin...so utterly gooey and perfect and stinky matured in it's wooden box that it has to be scooped out with a spoon...I don't live in the UK anymore but buying the first Vacherin of the year from V&C in Edinburgh for Christmas is such a bloody happy memory. Almost as good as the eating . Haven't been able to get a proper Vacherin since moving abroad, but hey, there's huge advantages living here too! And great cheese too...

Maasdam
A good blue
A runny brie

Port Salut. Roquefort. St Agur. And goats’ cheese!

Also, you really can’t go wrong with a super strong cheddar, so strong it’s got those crystals in it. Like Colliers Welsh cheddar.

All of the above served with cornichons. There must always be cornichons.

Mimolette

Aged Jarlsberg

Pave daffinois

Oh yes Vacherin too

Whatever happened to the Dairylea Cocktail selection?

Six different flavoured, heavily processed 'cheese' triangles, wrapped in tin foil that was virtually impossible to remove completely?

We used to get it at Christmas, we thought we were quite posh!

a ginger and mango cheese that Booths sell.

St Agur

Epoisses

have never had Vacherin, but it soudns right up my street, so will need to try and get hold of some!

OatsAmazing Me too! Love all medium and slghtly strong Cheddar(Not the eye watering kind though) Also Dairylea(Does that even count not sure...

Havarti, maasdam and halloumi.

Snowdonia black bomber extra mature cheddar 😋

I like a string cheddar but not a vintage.
