I’m Swiss, the best cheeses I’ve had were always the ones I spontaneously bought, while hiking, in the mountains from some local mountain farmer. So I can’t specifically give you a name, and they were different each time, but always amazing.

A good aged gouda always does me right.

Blue Stilton.

Havarti. Semisoft, a little tangy, nice on a cracker, melts well on things.

There’s a cheese called Limiano that is both the brand name and the name of the cheese itself since other than some flavoured versions, they only make the one kind.

The nearest city to me that has a proper Portuguese market where I can find it in Canada is Edmonton, so whenever my parents go there for their own needs, I get them to pick me up some.

If you can find it, try it. Soft and creamy; somewhere between a cold brie and a dutch edam. Smooth taste. I describe it as “inoffensive”; it doesn’t smell and it doesn’t taste too strong.

If it’s well-made: Glundner. In grocery stores it isn’t outstanding but some farmers have perfectioned it.

Camembert followed by smoked Gouda

If we’re talking sandwiches pepper jack.

Goat cheese is the GOAT.

Like most people I enjoy a smoked gouda (Henri Willig y’all) but I also want to give a shout out to yarlsberg for being excellent as well as hot habanero Colby (way better than pepper jack) and boar’s Head three pepper. A good manchego is a joy as well. Emmentaler is of course an all timer. The aged white cheddar from Costco is shockingly great.

I like brie the most, I think. Sometimes a place near her will get some Red Dragon cheddar in which is really good but that’s rare. I like eating that with chili.

Shout out to cottage, cream, and paneer.

I’d be lying if I could pick a favorite cheese, though. I guess a nostalgic favorite would be nokkelost, but it’s impossible to find.

Bleu d’Auvergne

Aged cheddar. But I’m also fond of blue and haloumi. I like strong flavours, and the taste of fried haloumi… so good.
