Which cheese is the best?

There are a lot to choose from: hard cheeses, semi-soft, soft...
Cow's milk, sheep's milk, goat's milk
And for the Philistines of the group: processed cheese food.


So which is your favorite?

I like a good, tangy goat's cheese spread on a cracker with fig jam.

Depends on the circumstances.

Limburger off the block on a cracker for a snack, cheddar on a ham sandwich, mozzarella or provolone on a loaded sub or pizza...

I would have to say feta, though. Nothing better than a big slab of feta on a hard salami sandwich with some hot sauce and an onion bun.

I luv brie

If you have proper olive oil, and I mean proper, then burrata with fresh tomato, simple and perfect.

Parmigiana and gouda

Cheddar cheese is the best cheese.

I believe that the best cheese I’ve had was a smoked Gouda.

Cheddar is beddar.

Don’t cheese me.

... best? I'm supposed to choose only one?! Poll needs a "yes" or "ALL OF THEM" option.

Mammoth cheese.

So cheesey.

I love a sharp cheddar cheese!

Ultimately it depends on many things.
What are you using it for? How are you eating it? With or on what type of food? Or by itself?

But one I particularly like is pepper jack.

Something with minimal flavour that is hot and melted and buried under a bunch of ingredients and definitely sauce/s... served on a pizza base... and isn't Parmesan.

Cheese is foul. Given I will consume it in the above circumstances... I guess mozzarella and other common pizza cheeses win by default (due to their ability to avoid the essential qualities of cheese).

It depends what you are using it for.

I really appreciate a good buffalo mozzarella, but mozzarella tends to have a very gentle flavor and there are some dishes where you want a stronger cheese.

I'm a mozzarella kind of guy myself. Parmesan is pretty good too

Putting my word in for Swiss. Cheap, practical, tasty on its own, and I don't get sick of eating it. Plus it has those fun little holes that you can use to hold it more easily.

American

Or limburger

But, more seriously, I've always been partial to blue cheeses.

Swiss cheese definitely has the most recognisable aesthetic. And why judge by taste anyway?
