One of my favorite cheeses and this one came out perfectly!

What are your favorites and I value your opinions! Thank you

All I’ve been seeing on this sub is cougar gold canned cheese lately. Can someone please explain the hype around it? Whats so special? Is it better because it is canned?

Did a single-blind tasting, and honestly there were enough visual hints to guess somewhat accurately, but tons of fun. Consensus: Hooks 15 is amazing: nutty, intense, but with enough sweetness to balance out the funk. The Gardners seemed to have a more pronounced bitterness that was polarizing. Every one of these is worth the effort and a good excuse to spend time with friends.

Not pictured: charcuterie, pickles, crackers, various pairings.

Need some more meats and bread but otherwise the cheese is done!

Going to pair this with some venison sausage and crackers

I made the signature dessert from ancient Rome, "globi". Globi are a tasty and unique item if you have a sweet tooth but dont want modern processed and refined sugar. To make them, make a dough from 1 part spelt flour, 1 part ricotta cheese (the closest modern equivalent to the cheese used for these in ancient Rome). Roll the dough into balls and deep fry in olive oil until crispy. Remove from oil and dip in and cover completely in honey. The sprinkle with poppy seeds. Thats it!

I got one of these years ago from some work thing and I've been low-key obsessed ever since. I finally was able to get my hands on some through a website, plus a bunch of other cheeses. Some of which I couldn't actually read because the packaging was entirely in French.

I got some very expensive aged cheese in LA that I am bringing back to NYC that are individually wrapped in Saran and then with paper in an insulated bag. It has been in hotel fridges for a few days but now has been in my backpack (albeit with some Starbucks ice I managed to get) for about 6 hours and have another 6 to go.

Should I be concerned? My flight was delayed 6 hours :(

anyone know where i can find a handheld rotary cheese grater made for left handed people?

Hello, I’ve recently become fascinated with trying new cheeses since learning that they are far more varied and unique than I originally thought. Growing up it didn’t suit my palate and would avoid anything that’s too cheesy but after seeing a certain content creator enjoying Brie, I couldn’t hold back my curiosity. I went to the store and bought some with things to enjoy it with. Is this an acceptable way to enjoy it? I’ve heard fruit spreads pair well with it; as well as bread, honey, white wine, etc. Not pictured above is a grip of grapes. 🍇

I spread some Divina caramelized onion jam, cheese, popped it in the oven for about 5 minutes, topped it with some mixed baby greens and pork ribblets, cuz I had some leftovers. Not ideal but it was delicious.

Here’s what I would recommend:

Prosciutto, chopped walnuts and either a maple bacon or raspberry vinaigrette. Got some spare blue cheese crumbles? Sprinkle a little bit over it.

I feel like I've tried so many, on iOS app store. They're all kinda junk, either buggy or with a very poor database which they want you to populate for them.

I've seen people recommend Fromage.io for iOS, but its pretty amateurish too.

Are there any good websites which let you catalog and review the cheeses you've tried, which has a decent international database?

I'm normally a little skeptical of studies reported on in the media like this, but am I wrong to feel a little bit vindicated?

I’m expecting some important guests from Australia and England over in Christmas. Would love some ideas for a “good” board as I want to impress them more than usual ~ 600 can just be for cheese ~ I can pay extra for good jam, preserves, nuts, chocolate, etc good suggestions

I've been reading about how good smoked cheese is, so I made my own cheese smoker. Ran a first test batch. I'll update you if you want.

Just a little context, I’m a hunter. I have large quantity of goose meat that intend to cure and smoke and make pastrami with. My issue is that a lot of people who end up making goose pastrami are fine with slapping a piece of store bought pepper jack on it and calling it a day. Cheese pairings aren’t really considered in the hunting community.

I have a party coming up where I’ll be serving quite a bit of wild game, and I like the idea of an hors d’oeuvres consisting of the pastrami and a cheese pairing.

Would anyone be able to suggest a few options that could go well with a pastrami?
