I missed that part.
d'Affinois has the unctuous guilty goodness of a double cream brie without that sometimes off-putting cat piss after taste.
Beemster XO is fucking cheese candy. The salt crunch and the butterscotch flavor is dopamine.
St. Agur is a double cream blue cheese. What else needs to be said.
Washed rinds, the ones I like, have that stink and a bit of salt crunch with creamy spreadable attribute that I like in uh cheese.

>>11493648
First of all understand blue cheeses all taste very different from each others, it's a whole category of cheeses, so there's probably one out there that would suit you
Then idk just man up

Roquefort is unironically the best but prolly too strong if you are already reluctant to eat blue

>> No.11493675

Maybe it's just not for you
Although thinking about the mold and how Roquefort is supposedly disgusting may have prevented you from enjoying it, sometimes tasting something new while not know what it is is better than forcing yourself with something you already think is weird

Yeah they make good cheeses, like the Italians and the French I think charcuterie + cheese is deeply rooted in their food culture

Just got a selection of Spanish cheeses including Manchego, on a lark. I was disappointed. There just wasn't a lot of flavor. I'm an American and not a cheese buff, so I guess my taste buds aren't properly cultivated to appreciate it. I think that's probably true of most foods. I'm used to flavors that are ridiculously heavy-handed--very spicy, very sweet, very sour, etc. If it doesn't hit me over the head with a frying pan of flavor, I can't taste it. Anyone else here suffer from this?

"Gamle Ole" Danbo.

Danbo is a Danish cheese that is like cheddar but softer and nuttier. "Gamle Ole" is a kind of Danbo that has been aged a long time, and is really strong. And I say that as someone who loves strong cheese and has eaten all the cheeses that are said to be really strong. But Gamle Ole is different, it has a powerful nutty aroma and is the only cheese that made me feel sick (but in a good way).

In Danmark they serve the milder variety as smorrebrod, usually with butter and lettuce.
