limbo Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 Fiery Jack did it. He brought up the cheese platter, and how ever attentive by Mr. Samak, pointing out it wasn't a dessert, here we go than with our fave list of cheese. Boerenbelegen, all the Dutch know this one. In general I like older cheeses, not too old, like when they start to crumble tho. A camembert that starts running of the plate. Emmenthaler. A good ripe Limburger. Very rare to find nowadays. AKA rommedoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brink15 Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 Although I like brie and really love chevre, I prefer hard cheeses. Unfortunately I don't know the name of my favorite as I have only had this once a long time ago. It was an aged English cheddar. Large wheel about 6 inches high by about 8 or 10 inch diameter. It had a black wax rind and was incredibly dense almost bordering on the density of an aged parmesan. The flavor was incredible, very intense with a nutty flavor. I would love to know what it was. A good Manchego is also a favorite. Sharp Cheddar - but only if aged until very dense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limbo Posted June 6, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 Hi Brink, chevre is good indeed, the soft one, lovely, but did you know it also comes as a hard cheese in various age degrees. Have a piece of old goat in nthe fridge right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brink15 Posted June 7, 2003 Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 Is it still referred to as chevre? I'm going to check that out. I really like the various soft versions rolled in herbs but I've never tried a hard chevre. Last Christmas my wife got me an assortment of five different chevres. The herb varieties are great spread on a baguette with a little extra virgin olive oil and then grilled. Crap, now I'm really hungry. Thankfully I've got a nice veal chop and some onion soup I'm going to top with some stinky gruyere. Mmmmmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samak Posted June 7, 2003 Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 chevre means goat in french; fromage de chevre is cheese made from goat milk. it is a type of cheese, not a brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samak Posted June 7, 2003 Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 my personal preference is soft cheese from France; beside fromage de chevre: roquefort (italian equivalent would be gorgonzola) camembert brie vacherin cheaumes etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
