I agree gorgonzola is wonderful, especially for a 4 fromaggi pasta sauce, cambozola is awesome too.

I've never had cambozola before, is it hard to find in the states?

I'm under the impression that while it may not be hard the US is still being weird about cheese and it what you find with either be terrible or an extremely overpriced imported "luxury" although it depends on where exactly in the US

As an Italian I definitely love gorgonzola, but I have to admit that it's a step below the strength and richness of roquefort

>> No.8059207

When I was a kid i was repulsed by the concept of blue cheese but after I tried it I realized it was a glorious rich cheese like feta but with a sharp kick, I can literally eat it with a spoon now

I need to learn more recipes to use it in though, I've only ever had it in salads

Aura Gold is godtier, up there with Gorgonzola and Stilton. I doubt you can find it outside Finland though.

Stilton. But Gorgonzola is a close 2nd. Gnocchi in Gorgonzola cream sauce with prosciutto and porcini is heaven.

But he said
>what you find with either be terrible or an extremely overpriced imported "luxury"
I don't think either of you understand what cambozola is, it is not some generic word for "stuff that is neither camembert nor gorgonzola", it is a specific product, patented and manufactured by the Champignon-Hofmeister Unternehmensgruppe of Germany. So how exactly would it "either be terrible or a luxury"?

Love me some blue cheese. Too bad it's expensive as fuck.

>> No.8059678

>>8059450

Are you serious? People will always find ways to imitate a product and find a legal way they can call it the real thing with no repercussions while devilering nothing even close and North America are especially guilty of this practice in terms of food. Marketing, legal loopholes are a very common practice in the states.

What does any of that have to do with cambozola?

There are a lot of companies producing knockoff goods in America that trade on European place names, but they're doing it based on what kinds of lore exists in the minds of the average junk-food-eating retard

You see it with stuff like parmesan and chablis wine because those are very famous, old appellations that everybody knows, even the kinds of people who live in flyover land and get angry when they see a restaurant menu that has "foreign" words on it

That market segment has no idea what cambozola is and wouldn't want to have anything to do with it if they did

Gorgonzola is good, but I find roqueford to be better.

Saint agur is also very good, but a bit strong for most people.

This. I think the reason most of us americans get iffy with cheese like that is the look alone. We sort of frogot our roots of fine cheeses, meats and etc because "it looks icky "

We 're mostly more settled on motza, jack, shit quality burg cheese, and some others considered "babbys first cheese "

Best way to make us try new shit is to sensationalize it, or some blind taise test or even event county fair stuff.

Americans think food that doesn't taste like plastic isn't food, it's Premium Ultra Specialty Luxury Artisan Food

It's important to practice eating Premium Ultra Specialty Luxury Artisan Food in order not to be humiliated by the snooty French waiter when you make funny faces out of sheer surprise that the food actually tastes like food and not Dupont Tyvek

Never been able to handle moldy cheese, never understood why people like it

Blue cheese just tastes really strong and bitter, with a sharp almost pukey aftertaste
