I just ordered my first foray into WSU cheeses: Cougar Gold and Viking.  I ordered it for a surprise for Easter feast, hopefully I can leave it alone until Easter.   Never had it before but the reviews are all very, very positive.  Now I need to locate a real smoked picnic ham to complete the prep.

 

Order the smoked "city ham" from Broadbent. Although the Appleton Farms ham at Aldi ain't no slouch.

Currently Ewe's Blue by Old Chatham Sheepherding company.  I love it with a red Anjou pear and adore it in blue cheese dressing.

  I'm going to bump up this thread because here in the Indian Ocean, Madagascar is a cheese lover's paradise.  How unexpected!

  I've always loved Roquefort and it's bluesy cousins, and aged Gruyere makes my eyes twinkle.  Manchego, Chevre, Chedder: Yes, yes, yes.

  The cheese counter at the local supermarket goes yards long, and you can get your varietal fresh, aged moderately or aged into funkiness. Smoked? Usually also available.

Last weekend we were in a store called Denninger's which has, to my eyes at least, an amazing cheese counter.  There we tasted some Graskaas, translates from the Dutch as  Grass cheese, made from the first milk produced by the cows when they first are released to pasture after being kept indoors all winter.  This was  made by Beemster and we bought a honking big piece of it.  We've been eating it ever since and loving every bite.

when I was younger I preferred milder cheeses...I used to say, the rubber-ier, the better.

Now I've branched out some but can't say that I have tried many, if any, more exotic types.  Probably couldn't find them here even if I wanted.
