Cheese

[profxuanwu]

I enjoy eating cheese. It's one of the food products I like to explore the varieties of. I'm not sure where I get a taste for it. My mom doesn't like cheese at all and my dad was not especially fond of it.

When I was younger, my favorite was extra sharp cheddar. Later on, swiss. These days, gouda has earned most of my attention. Not sure what the progression of cheese tastes means.

Cheeses I like (in no particular order):

Gouda (aged and young)
Swiss (Emmental)
Jarlsburg
Provolone
Cheddar
Edam
Mozarella

Cheeses I don't like:

Brie (the aftertaste always turns me off everytime I try it)

Cheeses I'm neutral toward:

Havarti
Limburger (I've tried it at all stages of aging, the smell never bothered me)

Cheeses I want to try:

Stilton (I generally don't like the blue cheeses, but this one is supposed to be special)

I also like several of the goat and sheep milk cheeses (like feta), though I don't track which varieties I've had.
