Only chedder
Which cheddar? Sharp, semi-sharp or regular?
Are any of the above included in a heart healthy mediterranen diet? Personally, I only eat Feta.
I personally don't know, but can you ask your doctor?
Aged Cheddar, Gouda, and some soft cheeses are high in probiotics . Some of the best sources of vitamin K2 are Munster, Camembert and Gouda. Certainly you can't go wrong with Feta either, the proof is in the Mediterranean diet's well researched benefits.
Cheshire, Lancashire, Stilton, goatβs cheese (various sorts), Red Leicester, Brie, Camembert, Gouda, Parmesan, Cambozola, Mozzarella et al.
I've selected cheddar and lactose free, although for the most part it's lactose free cheddar. I also occasionally treat myself to Wensleydale, goats cheese, cream cheese, feta or harder cheeses (which are naturally LF)
I don't eat cheese.
Mature or Extra Mature Cheddar = main cheese. Also like Black-sticks cheese for a treat, Goat or Sheepβs cheese.
I have Crohn's Disease and over the years I have found full dairy difficult to tolerate however goat's cheese is great especially feta. Soft cheeses are impossible to digest and lactose free cheese taste like cardboard.
Please, next time add the option NONE for those who (like me) do not eat animal foods for ethical and health reasons
Manchego
What does Manchego cheese taste/look like? I never had that one before ( not out here).
I eat it when I go to Spain When I buy it in a deli they ask what strength
Itβs a bit like Parmesan,made from ewes milk
Itβs sold at different ages(maturity)
My daughter got some here at Christmas ,not sure where
Nearly all cheese from any country except cottage and goats cheese especially find of aged brie, if you need a spoon to eat it it is just right.
Um. From that list, cheddar.
I rarely eat cheddar, but more than any of the other cheeses. Brie, Camembert, goat, various blues, Gouda, Edam, emmental, mozzarella, halloumi, Port Salut etc etc
is this an American list? Maybe our cheese cultures are too diverse to create a sensible 8 item list. I have no idea what provolone is, and Swiss is pretty meaningless in Europe. I like Muenster and harvati, but rarely see them.
Cheddar. Swiss, Jarlsberg, Emmental, Gruyere, Camembert, Brie, Comte, Leerdammer Gorgonzola. Blue Brie, Wensleydale, Double Gloucester and many more! I'm a Cheeseaholic!
That's fantastic to hear about all the different flavors of cheese and being a cheeseaholic! I love eating cheese, too, but there are some that I had been told to not eat because of immune system issues (Diabetes) and how some may cause problems for it. Not sure what they are, since a doctor never told me what they were at the time.
No cheese, gave up dairy after cancer diagnosis. I do have Daiya vegan cheese (not real cheese) on my pizza though.
Feta, parmesan and goats cheese
Medium to mature Cheddar
I eat Gouda cheese βΊοΈ
L now buy a lower fat mature cheddar for the flavour. I also like the lightest Philadelphia and lower fat Mozzarella.
Do you use the Philadelphia cream cheese on plain bagels or do you add some to certain recipes?
The lower fat Mozzarella is usually used for the pasta meals I have-- unless we run out at the last minute.
Mild cheddar, provolone and monterey jack. π
Gouda
Gouda, goat, mozzarella
Gouda, Goat, mozzarella, parmesan
Mainly extra mature cheddar but occasionally Halloumi, Mozzarella, Parmesan, Feta and cream cheese too.
From the poll list I just selected paneer and very occasionally mature cheddar. I also regularly eat feta, cream cheese, Brie, halloumi, ricotta, marscapone, and cottage cheese but only the Longley farm brand as itβs creamy and I dislike the texture of any other cottage cheese Iβve tried.
Vegan pretend cheese.
Light cheese triangles!
That's good! Do you put them on crackers?
Sometimes but usually in an omelette βwrapβ with thinly sliced ham and lettuce leaves. Even got hubby eating them now instead of bread x
Has to be Cathedral city born and bread in the west country, I do get a selection of cheeses at Christmas
My current fave is Aldiβs specially selected mature cheddar - itβs delicious π I also eat Brie, mozzarella and ricotta, among others!
Interesting poll choices Leah, out of these I only eat cheddar and it has to be strong or extra mature for me.I love cheese and buy Applewood hop cheese, Wensleydale, Brie, Boursin, Double gloss, Feta, Emmental, cottage cheese and cream cheese. But I'm always up for trying a speciality cheese!
What do Double Gloss and Emmental cheeses taste/look like? We don't have them out here, yet.
Double Gloucester is a full fat hard cheese thatβs a very distinctive orange colour. And hereβs about Emmental cheese:
castellocheese.com/en-gb/ch...
Itβs a semi hard nutty flavoured cheese I find it very palatable. π§π
What about Spanish cheese like Manchego?!
That sounds like a good cheese to try. What does it taste like?
it's a strong cheese, like cheddar but better haha
I find Manchego a little too salt for me, but my son loves it!
I will have to see if we can get it out here. So far, I haven't seen it offered in the stores by me.
I enjoy Parmigiano-Reggiano/Parmesan cheese on my pasta! It is an excellent, highest source of calcium with 331 mg (33% of RDI) per ounce/28 grams .
Only two from the list, vintage/extra mature cheddar and paneer for curries. Then there's parmesan, grana padano, blue stilton, white stilton, cheshire, lancashire, smoked cheddar, cream cheeses, brie, roquefort, camembert etc. Anything else that looks like a cheese I've probably tried at least once even dairylea triangles. All healthy to varying degrees.
Cheddar yes, but Parmesan definitely, a little Parmesan gives extra oomph to a lot of things. It's so strong you don't need much, and it has something extra - I think the term is umami?
Apart from that, my husband has been told he needs more calcium and it's best taken through the diet, so cheese restrictions have been partially lifted here. Hooray! Current favourites are Chaource, Gorgonzola, Manchego, and French sheep's cheese called Ossau Iraty - eaten in moderation. Moderation is the hard bit because I love cheese! But I have discovered the stronger the taste the less I eat.
Personally I would rather eat and enjoy a small quantity of full fat cheese rather than a larger amount of anything reduced fat. The softer the cheese, generally, the higher the water content and the fewer the calories.... I believe. Anyway, French people I have met seem to eat cheese every day and France seems have a very good record on heart health.
Strong Cheddar and i love Stilton.
I also have red cheese, but 25g is enough for me of any cheese.Great Survey.
Extra mature Cheddar. I try to avoid what I call 'plastic' supermarket cheese and buy from our local market stall where it's cut fresh from a block. Crumbly Lancashire, Red Leicester, Brie, Wensleydale, Double Gloucester, Boursin, Feta, Goats cheese roll, Camembert. I occassionaly buy 'plastic' wrapped cheese slices which have large holes in and I've forgotten the name of it. Might be a swiss cheese. Ementhal?
Really I enjoy most cheeses! But I never buy low fat anything!
Couldn't agree more!
Brie
Do you put it on crackers?
After Christmas dinner or dining out like Army Military Functions, me and my Ex used to go to, you have the choice of different desserts or crackers with a cheese platter! I loved that! ππ
Oh and emmental
None. I'm allergic to cheese. It causes all kinds of health problems.
I also frequently eat goat's cheese and camembert.
Blue goat cheese
I am not keen on Cheddar and I have not tried any of the others listed. My favourites are Jarlsberg, Wensleydale with apricots or cranberries, soft cheese and Brie.
Brie, soft cheese spread , lovely on toast. Edam and Gouda cheese.
I eat blue cheese that's in the dressing for salad when it's not too much fat added.
Those are some of my favorites, too!
Mature cheddar, Brie, but I like most cheeses πππ§ accept cautious if too spicy ingredients are in it! I treat myself on occasion with a piece of Cambozala or some Stilton πππ§
This sounds great. What does Cambozala taste like?
Very nice, it's a soft blue cheese Activity and it tastes scrumptious on cracker bread as well! But I am not fussy! I have eaten goat cheese as well but it's very rich and only have this now and then and very little of it! π
