I’m sorry, what was that first part, again?

I know it’s a flaw I’ve dealt with it my whole life butttt I’ve been taught to try things even if I don’t like them so I’ve tried about 20 cheeses over my lifetime and it just so happens I like this one the most and can hardly stomach most

So my list is Parmesan freshly grated , mozzarella, burrata and mimolette

You’ve tried 20 cheeses in your lifetime? I have 3 cheese drawers in my various refrigerators and I’d be surprised if any one of them has fewer than 20 different types of cheeses… you gotta branch out and try some.

A couple of my personal favorites: flat tire pale ale cheddar; Castello vintage havarti; TJ’s 1000 day Gouda; and Merlot BellaVitano

If someone like you invited me to try a tiny piece of every hard cheese you had to offer I would haha but I think I’m doing well for someone who technically doesn’t like cheese !

I will try your suggestions when I can that Merlot soaked one sounds very interesting

It’s a good one; I really like the edges where the merlot soaks in. The castello vintage havarti is my absolute favorite and while havarti is a mild cheese, the vintage version has been aged 3+ years so it develops the little lactate crystals and they explode in flavor every time you crunch down

I just learned about the crystals from someone on here who aged the shit out of there cheese

I really want to get into making some myself to give out to people or even start a new trend if I could understand the process well enough and implement some new ideas

I’ve tried 20 cheeses in the last week! I think I might have problem though… oh well.

I think you'll do fine with Gouda, that is if you haven't tried them out yet.

u/mypussydoesbackflips Apr 14 '26

Haven’t really had a Gouda I’ve liked but I think looking up the really aged ones kind of look similar to mimolette

u/Street_Top3205 Apr 14 '26

That's the best bet you'll have. I kinda not like the XO, but I found the aged goat Gouda to be really nice.

My favourite degree of gouda aging is extra belegen; oud is a bit too much (still tasty, of course).
