I love cheese. In fact, I would say that cheese has made me the man I am today. Or at least 40lbs thereof. Our grocer now stocks a bewildering range of exotic and delicious cheeses, much to the detriment of both my wallet and my wasteline. So I thought I'd start a thread on "obscure but delicious cheeses" so that we could swap recommends of must-try cheeses which other board members might not have heard of. I'll start.
So, what are your cheese recommendations? |

If you don't know Winnimere, you must not be a fan of Wallace and Gromet. |

Sartori Sarvecchio Parmesan: The only domestic parmesan I'll touch. I always thought the only parmesan worth eating was Parmigiano Reggiano - this one proved me wrong. It's surprisingly fantastic. http://www.sartoricheese.com/products/r ... -parmesan/ Humbolt Fog - not obscure, by any means, but one of my favorites. http://www.cypressgrovechevre.com/chees ... t-fog.html Cave-aged Swiss Gruyere - My absolute favorite - just the right amount of pungency and depth. Roth Kase Moody Blue Smoked Blue Cheese - Need I say more? http://www.rothkase.com/new.html |

Appenzeller "Extra" - The younger "Surchoix" is more easily found in the US but Extra is a rarer find. |

The last time I was off tilting at windmills in LaMancha, I acquired a taste for aged Manchego, and I love what Italian Fontina does for mushroom lasagna. A fair amount of cheese making takes place nearby and fresh cheddar curd is an interesting and tasty treat on occasion. |

Just returned from a week in Victoria, BC where there is some very serious cheese making going on. One of the hotspots is Salt Springs Island and their cheeses are often sold with a photo of the animal from which that specific cheese came; we really liked Alfred's cheese (who the hell is gonna name a cow Alfred????????)
