I'm quite partial to a bit of brie on my cracker.

A mate once brough me some Caciocavallo Podolico from Italy. Beautiful. Comes from a rare breed of cow and is mega expensive.I think it weighed about 2oz. 
What type of brie GoOnThen?
Partial to Brie de Meux myself, can be strong and smelly!

I have Tesco's Ripe and Ready Brie atm but can't say I'd recommend it. I usually get some sort of cheese most weeks to snack on so maybe we could use this thread for reviews. It's pretty bland with no flavour, I'd rate it 2/10.
I am partial to 5 counties out of Tesco. You get a mini cheeseboard in one with Cheddar, Cheshire, Red Leicestershire and 2 other cheese crammed into a small block.

Not generally fussed pauly, I like the crumble free texture when assembling my cracker. I'll give your recommendation a try if I spot it though.
When I was sixteen I worked on a farm where they made cheese and I spent a few weeks, 9 hours a day painting cheese. Must be the most boring job ever
i liked Lockerbie cheddar for cheese on toast. nice savoury tangy salty flavour.
never see it in the shops these days.

Most supermarkets will have it..bit more expensive but worth it.
Port and Stilton are wasted on each other. Stilton is best with a Sauterne or another sweet white.
Proper unpasteurised Brie or Camembert is very fine, but in this group, Epoisses is smelly and brilliant - eat with a spoon.

curious - are there two l's in bo llocks? This IS a cheese thread!. If you wish to start a spurious educational thread on the subject, then please do so separately. Many thanks, be a good chap, and f u ck off elsewhere.
have you ever wondered how you get triangles from a cow?
Roquefort. Everything else is just... well just... cheese!
Gruyere (hard)
Époisses (soft - warning: very stinky!)

"That's easy. You milk her into a triangular bucket."
At Scolton Manor Museum in Pembrokeshire they have a triangular churn. Lovely locally-made old piece of work, won a prize at a big agricultural show in Surrey a hundred years ago.
My favourite cheese is Emmental. Swiss is best but the French version by President is nice, too

Petit Chebra goat cheese out of Lidl. Not only the best goat cheese I've ever tasted, but half the price of the stuff they sell in the other supermarkets too.
Too many to mention but defo the soft & creamy variety.
A quick look in my fridge tells me I need to go shopping but in my cheese box I currently have Tesco Finest Stilton & St Endellion Cornish Brie.
I ALWAYS look in the "sell-by" fridge in Tesco and buy all the soft cheese on offer and put it in my freezer when I get home. Same with organic milk. Simply transfer to the fridge a couple of days before requirement and BINGO!

First cheese I've tried since my above post but I got some White Stilton from the reduced isle in Tesco's. Medium to soft, it crumbles easy and creamy in the mouth. It reminds me of a goat's cheese. Even at 50p for a decent sized block I wouldn't buy it again.
I'd give it 2/10 also.

If you love Dairylea (and who doesn't ? WTF is wrong with you ?) you have to try Kiri - the French equivalent.
only better

You can stick your Bries and you DairyLeas where the sun don't shine.
Extra-Mature Cheddar ain't broke and a bit of Shropshire Blue with salad makes the King of cheese rolls.

Cracker Barrel, Orson Wells advertising, aah, those were the days. Seriously, if you like cheddar you need to get hold of some Fiery Fred - nothing else quite like it 
McCoy Carp, I haven't heard of Fiery Fred. It sounds right up my street tho. I love extra mature cheddar.
I tried some homemade farmhouse cheddar once - it was so mature it took the roof of my mouth off - I loved it

vacherin mont d'or - the wife says it smells like a dead person...
"Do you trust your wife" - How would she know? and would she tell you if she did?
Tesco Gorgonzola tonight, it's the first time tasting this cheese despite it being popular. Nice and creamy and medium strength with no great punch but a nice after taste.
Much nicer than those last 2 cheeses I tried. 6/10

I do like a cheese board, I've just had some bruschetta with M&S Brie and some onion chutney and very nice it was too. I'll no doubt go in for seconds fairly shortly. I'll eat any cheese really.
As has been mentioned a couple of times Epoisses is different class. Strong and majestic. Big fan of morbier too. Camembert with calvados is another beauty.
Nicest cheese I ever had was a bit like Morbier.
Got it at a market in Niort.

Cathedral city mature, small bag ready grated, perfect for topping pizza's & omelettes!
like the sound of that homemade farmhouse cheddar though, can't beat a good farmhouse loaf covered in flour with a nice bit of cheddar either

I likes to keep my Cheese simples!
Mozerella doesn't last too long & also doesn't go well in an omelette

I love blue cheese and stong smelly french cheese.
I've started buying mature cheddar like the cathedral city mentioned above, and keeping it in a cupboard for a bit to make it mature a bit more. It works, and I'm not dead yet

Had some Waitrose melted Reblechon earlier. Highly recommend.
Dunno about any legal requirements, but mature cheddar is more expensive than mild or medium.
Can anyone call their cheese mature or extra mature and have a higher price?
Loads of apparently 'mature' cheddar e.g. Cathedral or Pilgrims...isn't.

Enough is enough. The truth must out. Cheese is the smegma of Satan. The different varieties come from different areas under his satanic majesty's foreskin. The other main variable is which sinner he has been sodomizing recently. Brie think Fred West, mature cheddar Uncle Joe, Clement Freud stilton, Mother Teresa Dairylea triangles and so forth.
If I can turn one sinner aside from his cheesy path to hell, my living will not have been in vain.

Crack is a helluva drug! :)
That's funny, I just made a coffee with a 2 litre milk bottle that's nearly finished and it's on the turn. The coffee looked lumpy and I gave it a sniff expecting the bottle to be disgusting. It must have got the "right" kind of bacteria in it as, surprisingly, it smells pretty nice, like a nice cheese!

Domaine du Vallage
Epoisses, but without the smell
Wensleydale with apricot, cranberry or other
Cambozola
Roquefort
Mature cheddar
Monte alfino, I can't remember how it is spelt.
Stilton
I bought some stilton on election day thinking to just have a bit now and then, but ended up eating it with wholemeal seeded bread all evening and all through election night until 7am
I do have quite a variety because I shop in Waitrose a lot and when they REALLY reduce the cheese I buy it. Stilton £6 kilo, Roquefort £12 kilo etc

French cheese well overrated.
Roquefort is too sweet and I wouldn't bother licking Brie or Camembert even if it was spread over Eugenie Bouchard's arse.
Shropshire Blue, Stilton, Cheddar, Cheshire and Lancashire are the chosen cheeses. You can bin the rest.

Can't be any worse than goats cheese which is absolute honk,.
On the normal cheese front Snowdonia Bomber is the bomb, a majestic cheddar cheese that makes your back teeth ache and your pickled onion radar go full tilt.

I have just tried 'robiola nonno nanni' and it is very nice. It is a very fresh cream cheese, sort of. On wholemeal seeded bread, mmm. I love trying new things at Waitrose when they are reduced but they are usually reduced for a reason 
However, I would buy this cheese at the normal price. You are better of buying food from marks and spencer, Waitrose ready meals and everything else are normally not worth the money and not great.
