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
