I love cheese but what one person loves, another may hate as it is all personal preference.

Somerset, Dorset & Cornish Brie.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
French Brie.🤢🤮

Melted Stilton.😋

Manchego has always been a favourite of mine.

@SaraHoliday i’ll take anything on that torso! 😆

Blacksticks blue

Me too. Me too!

Can anyone recommend any particular brands?

In terms of cheese I like it would be Brie, Camembert, Cheddar (blk bomber), Port Salut but have family staying who eat all types of cheese!

If you are putting together a cheese board then I go for a range of textures. As long as you have something with a rind + creamy inside, a really good cheddar, and something blue you'll be fine. Also aim for a range of 'strengths' within these - supermarkets do have excellent ranges nowadays.

My current preference for a cheese to melt on James Norton would be Taleggio which is a tangy creamy melty job with a bit of zing. It's quite melty by nature so wouldn't be a burns risk, you could just kind of smear it on... <loses point of thread>

@SaraHoliday 😆

Wesnleydale with apricots
Goats cheese
Port salut

@LadyGardenersQuestionTime I didn’t consider burns risk! Now DH does currently have a beard and has had one for a long time, what’s the odds he shaves it off & I’ll be eating cheese off him?!

DH is vegetarian and my whole family loves cheese. I buy a lot of cheese and grapes and olives, crackers and walnuts.

Ooh great thread.

This one is amazing: https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/products/no-1-brillat-savarin-affine-french-cheese-strength-2/766584-769638-769639
Brillat Savarin, found in waitrose. It’s a soft cheese and just wonderful flavour and incredibly creamy. I’m not even a particular soft cheese Brie/camenbert type person and I love this.

Smoked red fox (waitrose), or smoked Shropshire red (Sainsbury’s) or just normal taste the difference aged Shropshire red.

Black bomber cheddar

Fancy nice Stilton in a ceramic pot - they’re nearly always great.

Some sort of hard white goats cheese eg cave aged goat cheese Waitrose, or wookey hole goat cheese Sainsburys.

I’d always get a Roquefort or dolcelatte - I don’t know which particular brand is good, I’d just get a good quality looking one in whatever supermarket I’m in. Ditto Comte.

Thanks for all the recommendations!

Somerset Brie, Blacksticks Blue, Glastonbury cheddar.

White Stilton from Waitrose deli counter . But only the plain one , none of your cranberry or apricot malarky .

Me too!

Truffle brie. You can get it from Tesco's Finest range.

Baron Bigod.
That's all

All the Red Fox cheeses are fantastic.

I love all cheese but my favourite is Cambozola - creamy like Camembert with a bit more oomph but not as in your face as blue cheese.

I especially like Beauvale (soft blue), Devon Maid (Brie like) and Black Bomber

Hear hear re. Baron Bigod. That or delice de Bourgogne
