Not yak (Racheylou)- but something different all the same! It is very mild and creamy, but not a soft cheese. Nom nom! Working my way through the recommendations is fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-post-about-cheese-28#post-2049116 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 01:20:37 +0000 Anonymous 2049116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*carries off fluffy cheesecake*<br /> I like having goat cheese too, for salad especially. Indian paneer I like-palak paneer is my treat food Trader Joes unexpected cheddar is nice, and always lots of other interesting things there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-post-about-cheese-28#post-2048347 Sun, 28 Jul 2019 04:32:12 +0000 Anonymous 2048347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love smokey cheeses and anything with ginger in it.

My favorite is by a cheesemaker in Point Reyes, California, Cowgirl Creamery. They make several but my favorite is their Mt. Tam Triple Creme. Served with fig spread and sourdough crackers and wine, if you're so inclined...&nbsp; I love all kinds of cheddars and have recently discovered pecorino. So nutty and buttery. YUM </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-post-about-cheese-28#post-2047960 Fri, 26 Jul 2019 13:43:28 +0000 Barbara Diane 2047960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I enjoy cheese but don’t buy a lot of specialty cheeses. While on a weekend away I added cheese to a wine tasting and I found a new one, Lambchopper Cypress Grove. I had thought the portions were skimpy but when I went to buy it I found out why. $28.99 a pound, I think I just haven’t gotten my head around paying that much. Definitely not saying the cheese maker shouldn’t be well compensated but just like wine or items of clothing I have my normal range, and breaking out if it is a shock Recently I found a small piece in our local grocery store in their odds and ends basket. I savored it.</p> <p>I am a melted cheese lover. Fondue, melted Brie in pastry with nuts and dried fruit, grilled cheese, even nachos.</p> <p>Light and fluffy cheesecake was a revelation. The one place I knew it went out of business. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-post-about-cheese-28#post-2047927 Fri, 26 Jul 2019 12:03:39 +0000 Helena 2047927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love cheese, although I don't know how adventurous my taste is! I love old, sharp cheddars (the Irish ones are the best imo!), smoked goudas, crumbly ages Parmasans (which DH and I go through at a shocking rate), creamy Bries with interesting toppers on it, any of those Boursin ones (not sophisticated I know, but come on, they are delicious). I even love Cheese Whiz lol!! #keepingitreal</p> <p>Just don't give me anything with colourful mould on it. DH can have those! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-post-about-cheese-28#post-2047840 Fri, 26 Jul 2019 00:31:53 +0000 Jenn 2047840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you enjoy cheddars, I highly recommend ordering a tin (yes, a tin) of Cougar Gold. It’s made on campus at Washington State University and only available during the winter months. We get one almost every year and have been known to get a second to store in the back of the refrigerator to age for an extra year before opening. It’s sharp and crumbly and when aged, develops crystals that add to the texture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-post-about-cheese-28#post-2046986 Tue, 23 Jul 2019 15:06:28 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2046986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sisi, naughty, naughty, lol. My favorite way to eat Brie in the summer is in pasta, with fresh tomatoes and avocado bits. Gotta get the cheese and pasta together right away, so it gets all nice &amp; gooey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-post-about-cheese-28#post-2046981 Tue, 23 Jul 2019 14:37:13 +0000 Carla 2046981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Sisi - yes! I grow basil and DS#1 and I love a caprese salad. Recently I've added some avacado....*sorry*. Another 'treat' is cantaloupe melon, bocconcini, prosciutto, and olives. Nom nom! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-post-about-cheese-28#post-2046957 Tue, 23 Jul 2019 12:23:56 +0000 Sisi 2046957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I like cheese. And I like the fattest sorts, the ones that give you a good injection of cholesterine! :)&nbsp; Gorgonzola, taleggio,&nbsp;brie ... &nbsp;And now that it is&nbsp;Summer, what is better for dinner than a fresh&nbsp;&nbsp;caprese salad? (mozzarella, tomatoes,&nbsp;basil, olive oil). Last weekend I was in Valle d'Aosta (North-Western region of Italy) that can be considered the Cheese Paradise. At a stand I bought a piece of homemade local cheese. It filled the refrigerator with its smell, but it's so tasty! </p> <p>About cheesecake: I think I would like both types&nbsp;(here in Italy I have always found the dense one). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-post-about-cheese-28#post-2046884 Tue, 23 Jul 2019 00:42:33 +0000 Carla 2046884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah! It appears that cheese is a fraught subject! In retrospect, I can see how it is a difficult food. I do know some folks with gastric issues (myself included) where cheese is okay and even a delight! I'm having problems with animal protei (meat), but fish, eggs and cheese are okay. Luckily, I've never had any problems with dairy. Thus, I'm enjoying going beyond the standard grocery store choices. I'm interested in recommendations and willing to hunt them out. </p> <p>Jane - Compte sounds right up my alley!</p> <p>RL - never heard of yak cheese, but it sounds interesting (mild, high in 'good' fats) so will see if I can source some)</p> <p>Lisap - I know there are some cheese substitutes made from nuts, and cashews is often used to make these products. DS#1 doesn't have nut allergies, but he doesn't digest cashews well! He is super thin, and I used to buy cashews in bulk for him to try and fatten him up - but he used to get very sick. It took a while to figure out his intolerance. DS#2 has some lactose intolerance and has goats milk and goats milk ice cream! He doesn't have problems with cheese, though.</p> <p>Regarding cheesecake - do you like it dense, or light and fluffy? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-post-about-cheese-28#post-2046860 Mon, 22 Jul 2019 23:34:34 +0000 Anonymous 2046860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah. I'm a lot of fun at parties ;)&nbsp; Or , where is the eyeroll emoji when you need it?&nbsp; In all seriousness, I am really liking Daiya's mozzarella,which is free of dairy, soy and gluten. For those of us who shouldn't be eating dairy cheese, it's a great alternative, albeit a little $$.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-post-about-cheese-28#post-2046792 Mon, 22 Jul 2019 19:39:38 +0000 Jane 2046792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Comte - so so good!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-post-about-cheese-28#post-2046758 Mon, 22 Jul 2019 17:56:23 +0000 Anonymous 2046758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish I could have cheese other than American, Swiss, pepperjack, but many different cheese gives me migraines. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-post-about-cheese-28#post-2046754 Mon, 22 Jul 2019 17:46:19 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2046754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A tangent on your off-topic post, if I may. Which of the following should I get my foodie sister for the kitchen of their cabin?<br /> <a href="https://popchart.co/collections/food/products/the-charted-cheese-wheel" rel="nofollow">https://popchart.co/collection.....eese-wheel</a><br /> <a href="https://popchart.co/collections/food/products/the-taxonomy-of-fruits-vegetables" rel="nofollow">https://popchart.co/collection.....vegetables</a><br /> If we want to be doom &amp; gloom about cheese &amp; health, there’s this <a href="https://www.latimes.com/food/dailydish/la-dd-cheese-addictive-drugs-20151022-story.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.latimes.com/food/d.....story.html</a><br /> But I’m much more an “anything goes, / check your macros” kinda person—and I track them by the week. A cheese plate one night, a bunch of fruit or bowl of popcorn the next, all no problem as long as you get your protein and it averages out ok. I’m lucky in not needing to worry about calcium as much as most women, because I’ve drunk 1-2 gallons of milk most weeks of my life, but for those who have never contemplated bringing Bossie home, cheese is a decent source of calcium, and has some protein. And back to the point of the post, it’s DELICIOUS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-post-about-cheese-28#post-2046650 Mon, 22 Jul 2019 14:06:25 +0000 Anonymous 2046650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love cheese, but it's such a nutritionally complicated food &nbsp;(i.e. not great for us) that I simply shouldn't be eating it. I do eat it when it's in the fridge , which is probably why I am so heavy right now . When I was flirting with the keto diet last summer , it was part of what I could eat, so I took full advantage of it . &nbsp;I swear I hadn't had a bit of cheese (other than what was on the odd pizza I'd have) in 10 years, and all of a sudden, I was loving it again. &nbsp;Note to self to back off and SMARTEN UP. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-post-about-cheese-28#post-2046575 Mon, 22 Jul 2019 08:05:35 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2046575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Wensleydale with cranberries.

True life funnies are the best. </p> <p>Carla, I’m often happy with a cheese spread like you describe, or even just a bowl of popcorn &amp; juice for dinner, but my son and I eat in opposite ways; I’m a big breakfast person &amp; slow my eating way down after 2. He can scarcely eat in the morning, &amp; expects to be fed every evening.

When DH and I travel we frequently visit an artisan food shop, pick up some cheeses, baguette or crackers, grapes, and a bottle of wine - and dine in! We do that at home as well and have discovered a cool cheese shop that has all kinds of interesting products. They actually brought in a cheese we requested (after a 2 year search) and reported afterwards that it sold out in a week! We visited today and left with two new-to-us cheeses and a specialty 'fennel salami' for a charcuterie style dinner later this week.</p> <p>Are you a cheese aficionado? Are there any cheeses that you are mad about? Please share.</p> <p>#1 DH and I had P'tit Basque while visiting my Dad in Seattle two years ago, and managed to score a small wheel earlier this summer.<br /> #2 Picobello. A new to me Dutch cheese that I am mad about. Gouda'esque. Smokey with a hint of butterscotch. Yummy! </p>
