Favorite Cheese?

Any of the above Zig ! Cheese is lovely on a sweet digestive .* Possibly not the chocolate covered ones though

* Admin , we really could do with a Yummy smilie .

 

Harry, did you not try the São Jorge whilst you were here ... ??? Too strong for me but t'other half loves it. We have been to Açores (the Azores) and Pico cheese is also lovely as is apparently São Miguel but have not tried it.

 

Does anyone remember Lymeswold cheese . It was the UKs answer to the French soft cheese Brie / Camembert . I thought it was really nice.

I take those out of the box and have them on their own with a cup of tea.

 

Agree Zig Jarlsberg is pretty nice. Emmental for me as well. A nice old Parmesan. A decent vintage cheddar is probably my favourite. Love cheese of most kinds, though anything smoked (I don't want to eat anything smelling of old sweaty socks, thanks kindly!) as well as anything with fruit or nuts are an abomination in my books.

I love all cheeses - at the moment one I am enjoying is Sharrocks of Lancashires 'Black Cheese Bomb' which is a creamy cheese with a black wax covering in the shape of a bomb.

 

That surprises me!

 

C'mon peeps, we're just not trying hard enough. Eat more, more!

Oh, the shame of being below places like Israel in cheese consumption. Whoever heard of an Israeli cheese? I didn't think they even had any cows, for pity's sake.

 

Is that one in our smilie set Zigs ? Can't see it .

 

Thats the spirit ! One more KG each and we can pass Australia , and beat them at something .

 

Never came across the Sao Jorge , Victoria. Although we did have a couple of nice cheeses while we were in Albu' last year . I'll keep my beady eyes open for it

 

Who else likes to unwrap cheese and leave in the fridge to let it go drier, develop cracks, darken and improve in flavour?

And who's noticed that if you're eating cheese when camping in a blue tent it appears to be green?

 

Next time you are in Albufeira, give us a shout as we are only 20 minutes away.
