    What is your Favourite Cheese ?

    Well with so many great cheeses available it's sometimes quite hard to choose.

    Enjoying a meal with relations yesterday we were introduced to a 'new cheese'. It was a new cheese for us, but you may have already tried it.

    Drum roll .........it was Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Epoisses. A French cheese described as a rich and aromatic cheese with smooth velvety texture washed in Marc De Bourgoyne Brandy for an intense flavour. It's also described as pungent and rich (level 3). Yes, for pungent read "smelly" but not quite gas mask material !

    Such a lovely rich, creamy taste, for special occasions, or indeed any day it's just great tasting food.
    Just what we LCHF lifestyle followers love.

    Here's the link and looking forward to hearing about what is your favourite cheese.

    Sounds great Jan! Wink I like a variety of cheese to snack on so it's a difficult choice but I would say that a decent wedge of Cheshire,Wensleydale,Somerset Brie,Roquefort and long clawson Stilton would be my 'Desert Island cheeses' of choice. Smile

    Favourite is a good strong cheddar, but also partial to bit of St Agur, Stilton, Camembert, Wensleydale , Brie, smoked cheese. Really probably easiest to say what I don't like, which are goats' cheeses and not fussed on Caerphilly.

    Roquefort.

    It's unbelievable. It overwhelms me with every fragment.

    Epoisses?  Watching the Bake Off programme just now.   The young girl is using it in a recipe.  She said it is so smelly that it is banned on public transport in France!  Eeek!

    Why would anyone want to eat something that smells so bad !! It reminds me of when I was a kid. My nan only used to use sterilised milk. When she made me a cup of tea, every time I took a sip, it was like a little "blow off" under my nose ! Crazy the things you remember eh :-)

    Favourite cheese - tricky question.

    My favourite cheese dish is probably deep fried, double-breaded Brie with gremolata.  Made it with Livlife crumbs a while back and it was awesome.

    Any other non-mouldy, non-rennetty cheese for me, please.  Love it.

    We didn't find Epoisses whiffy !
    We just loved the taste - so I guess it wasn't around long enough to get whiffy.

    However, I think if out of the fridge too long then it could get that way.

    A strong cheddar is a great tasting cheese and not a whiff around but with so many good cheeses to choose from we can keep our fridge well stocked.

    Love the sound of your cheese dish. Can you still get Livlife bread? We use the Hi Lo (low carb bread) occasionally which is 5 carbs per slice.

    Livlife has been discontinued and Hi Lo is not available here in Scotland. I have a good recipe for bread using almond flour and psyllium husk so am ok for bread if I fancy some. Not eating bread much these days though Very Happy

    I am posting this link for the fine cheese company. They have a shop in Bath and they are passionate about cheese. It's not cheap and I get it as presents for people who then rave about it. We visited the shop and it is awesome!

    Our local artisan cheesemonger shop is called Mellis. It's almost an anagram of smelly.

    I like most traditional British cheeses, and if I had to pick one it would be Blue Stilton. For variety and flavour I would rate British cheese the best in the world. I also like soft French cheeses, but I can't stand Edam and Gouda - like eating rubber.

    The 'bad smelling' cheeses usually taste much better than they seem.

    I get annoyed when cheese is messed about with. I don't want Wensleydale with apricots or cranberries buried in it! (Do I Gromit?).

    The worst one was the fake stuff in a tub that you could keep in a cupboard in the 1980's that some of my family used to sprinkle over Spag Bol!! That stunk so bad of vomit that I used to run out of the house!  Shocked

    Parmesan is so good to add that extra flavour to dishes - it's the taste that counts not the smell surely ???????

    BTW I bought a nice piece of Cheddar today  Smile

    So hard to choose one but a good blue vein or stilton or brie... Just done a Soft Cheese making course and I love it! My fav so far is my feta and I am going to make a Persian Feta next.
    It is all in the way you cut the curds!
    Just put 5 Camembert into the fridge from my 'cheese room', my laundry.
    Next year I am going to do the Advanced Cheese Making which includes the blue cheeses.
    The cheese is what is holding me back from being a true Paleo!!!!
