retarded american here

where do i buy real cheese like with wax on the outside

AKA not a rectangle with plastic wrap on it

Walmart has Baby Bel

Go to a dairy. Visit a farmer's market. Cheese shops aren't too popular unless you're in a city but there's that too.

Depends on what grocery chains you've got, I've bought waxed hoop cheese at publix and bi-lo before

I eat a lot of blue cheese and brie. What else can I buy that I will actually eat over the course of a week or two? Either for desert or a snack

...

Cheese isn't a dessert, burger.

...

...

...

What does it taste like?

Aldi has some usually, but I've never tried them there. Meijer has a fair selection for being a chain, but I dunno where they exist.

Nobody is going to eat a chunk of cheddar cheese for dessert but sweetened cheese desserts are pretty common. Cheesecake, cheese pastries, some people even like to put a little bit of cheddar on a slice of apple pie.

...

What is this? Looks like brie baked into potatoes, is it basically just a gratin?

>he doesn't have a local cheese specialist/store
I pity you poor americans.

Amerifat moving to France in December. What cheese should I try first?

lewd as fuk

Mimolette vielle

It's a bit runny, sir.

Sorry, old chap. We'll put it in the ice box for a tick.

I'd

Not him but it's a bit like a gratin, yes. It's a french dish with potatoes, garlic, cream, onions, and lardons with Reblochon on top melting over the rest in the oven.

Depends. Do you usually prefer strong (roquefort, boulette d'avesnes, maroilles, epoisse) or more gentle cheese (brie, emmental, saint felicien, saint nectaire) ? And hard (comté) or soft "dough" (camembert) ?

Of course if you can buy your cheese to a specialized shop, it will be better than in a supermarket. Even a simple camembert can be top tier if it's a good one. Unfortunately, it's also quite a bit expensive. If you're a bit short on cash, supermarket still have a lot of variety and decent cheeses for a good price most of the time.

>what is this
>"tartiflette" written on the bottom of the image in big fucking letters

gee boss, I dunno what this could possibly be

it is the best thing in the world and you should eat it at the first possible opportunity

tartiflette is so good

>tfw from France in a two month trip in Japan

why are you doing this to me Veeky Forums, I'm so deeply in pain right now

Raspberries.

I am reasonably sure, the guy wanted to start a discussion about this picture, by making the poster give additional information about it. Not just asking what it is.

No reason to get your panties in a twist over that.

If you just want to look at a picture and then at a wiki page, google picture search might be more in your alley.

On topic, Old Amsterdam is one of my favourite treat cheeses. I usually only buy it when a chunk of it is on sale. But the crumbly texture and dryness is really good.

Whole foods has a fantastic cheese selection. I wouldn't step foot in there if it wasn't great, so it's really good.

They have raw cheeses, impored cheese, and it changes often. I hate how pretentious the store is, but good cheese is good cheese.

Triggered burger here, desert isnt set to a standard, only describing a treat after dinner

"Real" cheese tastes like shit, stop listening to eurofags. I tried that shit in France and it was awful. It smelt like moldy shit.

That one is overdone. Probably tastes like ammonia.

I enjoy this a lot as well. I eat a lot of farmer's market cheese. Got this goat that's sort of like parmesan and crumbly. Also got their version of camembert which seems pretty reliable.

Old amsterdam is probably one of the better mass produced cheeses out there. but in that category the Beemster 48+ extra belegen still holds the crown.

Yes, Beemster is also one of the brands I like to buy in chunks when on sale.

In the area of soft cheeses, I want to commend Cambozola. A german-made cheese, that is a fusion of Camembert and Gorgonzola. A very mild blue-cheese. Great with fresh bread. Superbly creamy.

Recently got my hands on 1,7 kg of Parmesan cheese for 21 euro when traveling through Italy. Its crazy how much you get overcharged when you buy it outside of the country

looks good, recently moved from the Netherlands to Austria and was very disappointed to see what gets passes as Gouda in these parts. so I've been on the look out for some good germanic cheeses.

How can I up my cheese game? I use a lot of the American basics like cheddar, mozz, parmesan, chihuahua. I'm not in love with any of those except parmesan.

I tried brie last week and it was bland to me. What is my next step in the cheese hierarchy?

Go to a proper cheese monger on a market. The supermarkets don't have shit.

you're an ultra pleb

You don't need the "next step", you need to go back to the first step.

Simply staying "cheddar" or "brie" doesn't mean shit. For each of those names there is a massive range of products with different flavors and textures.

For example, cheddar: A block of generic "cheddar" made by a multinational conglomorate and sold at Wal-mart is going to taste totally different to, say, a highly aged cheddar from Dorset.

And likewise with Brie: You've got the real deal stuff that isn't legal to import into the US because it's unpasteurized. You've got the mid-range stuff that's made in France but is pasteurized for import. And then you've got various domestically made copies ranging from awesome to horrible.

So when you go try a new cheese don't just try "cheddar". Pay attention to the specific type you bought. How does it compare to other cheddars from different regions, different ages, etc. Some are mild and creamy. Others are crumbly and sharp. Just because you tried one and loved it (or hated it) doesn't mean you would have the same reaction to all cheddars.

fight me

if you're gonna post a picture, say what fucking kind it is, i'm not a cheesemonger

fuck

Been making my own cheeses for a while now. Started with mozzarella which is easy and really much better then what you get at a supermarket.

No one has as many friends as the man with many cheeses!

...

Just turned on my monitor and this looked like a white girl in a black bikini bending over and the panties splitting open flaunting her asshole.

What the fuck is wrong with me.

Great stuff, especially for folks that don't like really strong cheese. Highly recommend.

noob

god tier

How do I get into cheese?

get adventurous

does anybody else seek out the cheese section first when at a new store?

>The secret missing buffalo cheese

How do I eat cheese like a rich person with fruits and fruit spreads?

>Watch too many French cartoons
>Try the hot meme of camembert
>It's just a shit version of brie

I wish that were true user. I'm going through a rough time.

Kind of makes me want to eat some cheese.

go to a microcheesery, obviously

Which 'bert did you get?

>How do I eat cheese like a rich person? with fruits and fruit spreads.

>no Edam
>no Mimolette
>no Epoisses (this in itself is a mortal sin)
>no Halloumi

I get that a full list would be impractically large for a poster, but what's the logic in including so many obscure artisanal varieties while ignoring classics and even entire styles? How can a list be this hip, and yet so sloppy?

What the fuck is wrong with you?
It's clearly a boob window in a black evening dress.

Very true

Don't be mean

That spot is for donkey cheese, highly illegal

>How can a list be this hip, and yet so sloppy?
You gotta draw the line somewhere or you end up with a poster that size FOR JUST ONE CHEESE VARIETY.

We don't need that level of sperging.

>Mesost

Do you think Europeans just think their junk food is supposed to be good, but really they all hate it and buy it just to say "do Americans really eat this?", possibly posting about it on the internet?

Is that wine leavings around the cheese?

I got wet at reblochon

Cheese fucks me, so I get to enjoy sawdust. At least my grocery bills are cheaper.

Then again, I'm a burger so all we have is synthetic hormonal pcb laden garbage anyways. I want to try real cheese in yurop some day.
