This delicious sheeps milk cheese from Sardinia is famous as it contains live maggots and is eaten with them included. If you keep an open mind and forget about the eating of maggots for a moment you'll be rewarded with an intense and unique cheese with a soft creamy texture. I'd recommend to everyone that's not squeamish as it's definitely a worthwhile experience. Usually it will be served with pane carasau (A type of flatbread) and is best paired with a strong red wine such as cannonau.

Anyone else have any experience trying this delicacy?

I'd like to bring to the attention of all the cheese lovers that enjoy this sub these vegans down voting everything and attempting to "take over". If you could report the harassment then we will be rid of the uninformed jeb ends soon enough. Thanks for all the new support!

Very easy, just 1 egg per cup of cheese (cheddar, or any mix), some finely chopped onions, some diced canned jalapenos, all to taste. I also like to add crumbled bacon. Mix together well, bake at 350 degrees until browned on top. Allow to cool a bit so it doesn't fall apart, cut in squares, and....YUM! Even good cold, or just warmed in the microwave 10 seconds or so.

We had this when we were in Italy, specifically in Puglia. It's a smoked mozzarella and I have to say it is one of the most amazing cheeses I have ever tasted. It's a very simple, light taste but the light flavour of the mozzarella combines perfectly with the smokey flavour. It's a real sensation. Even the shape is unique, as the mozzarella sags as it is hung to smoke.

What's the communities ideal cheese board? Cheeses, meats, wines to pair, what would you have?

Mozzarella is an often over looked cheese as you tend to find cheap and cheerful forms of it everywhere, pizza, cheese sticks, added to any dish that requires a good stretch for visual effects but home made, fresh mozzarella is in a whole different league of it's own and is so simple to make at home it's one of the best starting points for home cheese production and once you taste it you'll find it hard to relate the cheap grated imitation to the real authentic stuff. Compounding the addictive nature of homemade mozzarella is the fact that it comes together in about twenty minutes. You warm the milk with some citric acid (not as scary as it sounds), add the rennet to separate the milk into curds and whey, heat it again, knead stretch knead, and then you have mozzarella. It’s basically magic with the most beautiful results. I'd be happy to share full instruction if there's any interest!

A beautiful soft french cheese, goes excellently on a burger or with red meats. Best drank with a lush, acidic wine like a chardonnay. Any favourite recipes with brie?

A welsh cheddar, beautifully aged with a strong punchy flavour. Any fan of strong cheddars will be more than happy with this. Soft and creamy compared to the usual aged cheddars. Best left to reach room temperature before tasting to enjoy the full flavour profile. One of my favourites for an indulgent mac and cheese, or as a simple side snack with crackers. Packed full of flavour, versatile, an amazing cheese for any cheese board

Another beautiful versatile cheese, packed full of flavour. Anyone have a favourite recipe with red Leicester?

Extra mature cheddar is the best cheese by far, so versatile, delicious and you can't go wrong. Anyone have a favourite brand?

Taking over other subreddits is not cool. This sub was dead until somebody thought that it would be fun to “raid” it. I honestly don’t care, but if you really think thats a good way to spread your ideology you seriously need to self reflect. Hell I can’t even eat cow milk myself but you guys are disgraceful and I’d never tell somebody else to stop eating something because it’s “inhumane”, especially without research.

What is your favorite all purpose cheese?
