Underrated. Check'd.

There's nothing like a Humboldt Fog, especially if you eat it sitting on a sturdy bench in a redwood forest somewhere in Northern California.

It's a mix of goat cheese and brie with a thick rind around it... Fuck.

As an unrepentant amerifat, cheese with exceptionally strong scents promise to be the most flavorful. Embrace it, anon.

Good choice, you had any of their other stuff?

My absolute favorite ATM is Humboldt Fog. Just thinking about that creamy outer layer blending with that pure white delicate crumbling center is making my mouth water. A few others I've been enjoying lately:

St. Andre
Fromager d'Affinois
Kasseri (Olympos > Krinos)
Societe Roquefort
Chevrine Cranberry Goat Log

Gonna try some Halloumi for the first time tomorrow, probably in a stir-fry.

As far as the kinds of cheese you should get, 3 or 4 examples from each animal should be a great way to start. Then you can have them grouped under: soft, semi-soft, medium-hard, and hard. Having the basics you mentioned fits those four criteria already.
Having some sort of organized approach will make the sampling more exciting.
Then you could toss in some off the beat examples like gjetost or something.

Are you aware of any italian markets or even Whole Foods or Wegman's in your area? Those would probably be your best bet.
You really can't mess this up since so many people would be impressed with the four you already mentioned. Maybe avoid raw milk cheese since that might scare the layman.

I think your best bet would be finding a Whole Foods or Wegman's since they probably have a large supply on hand already.

Pic related. Humboldt Fog is a beautiful cheese but expensive cheese from California

>US cheese is bad

please stop this meme.

Europeans have plastic cheese too. Look at Gjetost, it tastes just as plastic-like.

what's the problem OP?

Trader Joe's has a decent selection but it's nowhere close to Whole Foods'.
