And you know that Brie and all soft-ripened cheeses are made by mixing mold into the milk during processing? So there's still mold in your favs too yes there is also Gorgonzola that is the same 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kidding, yes I know mould is part of the process. It's just, when it's actually visible, no thanks. Plus blue cheese tends to be strong, and I prefer a mild to mid range. Do you have a strength rating for cheeses? Our supermarkets label them 1 (very mild, edam) to 5 (very strong, super mature cheddar). I usually hang around the 2-3 range. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Has anyone tried Casu Marzu? That's for strong stomachs only! It's actually illegal now I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only rate it on what does it taste the red wine after, and so far the blue cheese is the best 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A food you can actually play with before you eat it! I've never seen it selling here as a ball (I checked though pictures on the net) but only as slices (and here it is called Edamer): Edit: Ok, I also found a piece: Edited February 25, 2023 by Prisca 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A light merlot or pinot will have a different taste combination than a rich malbec or a complex shiraz. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my experience Cabernet Sauvignon it's the best to complement a blue cheese, but I guess it depends on every one's taste. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite a strong taste, very nutty and crumbly Seems not only you like this cheese : Global Cheese Awards 2022: https://www.globalcheeseawards.com/documents/10/Global_Cheese_Awards_Results_2022_n0QU2kE.pdf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That hurts the Swiss heart, after all Switzerland is a cheese country: don't foreigners like our cheese? I mean what could be worse? Okay, if our best chocolate came in 28th place, that would be worse. https://www.tasteatlas.com/best-rated-cheeses-in-the-world We even raced in the nineties with cheese suits at the Ski World Cup: Ok, Parmigiano Reggiano in first place is really good (Mika likes it a lot too ). 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 I'm not sure how you can compare cheeses to find "the best". I mean, I can understand how you could compare different cheeses of the same type - best cheddar, best brie etc - but how do you decide which is best overall? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
