FFS... Now I want some nice cheese. Screw you guys! Might have to finally order some black bomber from Amazon, as I've given up ever seeing it in a shop.
Got our local farmers market this weekend and there's a nice local-ish cheesemaker who do black bomber style wax wrapped cheddars. Had a lovely spicy one and a charcoal one from them last time, so will probably stock up again this time.

We went to a place called Wensleydale Creamery Visitor Centre in Hawes. It's in Yorkshire though so might be a bit of a trip! You can try many different cheeses at this place including black bomber. Its also sold at a farm shop I like just outside Manchester called Albion Farm Shop & Cafe. Wensleydale and cranberry or with apricot is another favourite but for work or general cooking we get the the basic cheddar cheese at Costco. Catering pack size so its cut, wrapped in foil and some of it frozen. Yes its me frozen cheese guy, feck off! Its odd but it works  |

Haven't been for years, I'll have to revisit. |

It can work. I used to buy cheese in Greece and freeze it before putting in the suitcase for the trip home. |

I was once bought a cheese board/platter as a Secret Santa gift at work, I liked how it was presumably stored at room temperature in the big box of gifts for a couple of days prior to the handing over awkwardness, it was the last Secret Santa I did.

Don't bring that frozen cheese talk over to this forum you degenerate. Cheese should never last long enough for you to have to freeze it, you should be in a cheese coma. Even the torso sized blocks from Costco.

Love a good cheddar, but you can't beat French cheese, sorry Boris

Camembert is vile. It's the Devil's earwax.
It's Brie, but even worse, never again. What is wrong with the French? A supposedly civilised nation with so many vile cheeses must be despised and must be shunned.

How can you comment in the cheese thread and not like French cheese?.
Frozen cheese is possible in certain situations - we freeze blocks of raclette so it's available when we fancy that for dinner.

It's the most stinky time of the year and already got our order in from www.georgeandjoseph.co.uk/ (if anyone is in Leeds can highly recommend these absolute Mongers) |

Freezing a Parmesan rind to chuck into a soup, stew or make a broth for pasta is always worth it.

This also might belong in the unpopular opinions thread, but American Cheese is the best burger cheese. It melts without separating (especially if you steam it briefly directly on the burger), holds a good texture, absorbs the flavour of the meat well, and doesn’t overwhelm the palate.

Ten years ago I'd have gone on a tirade about it being tasteless and bearing 0 resemblance to cheese, but totally agree, it ticks all the boxes |

Yeah, it’s shit absolutely everywhere else (except maaaaaybe a cheese toastie at particular times), but works amazing for the classic beef burger.
That said, different meats mix it up. A gamey meat burger is crying out for a bit of blue cheese.

I'd never buy or eat it in other circumstances but processed cheese slices are the best cheese to use in burgers. Provolone is good for this too. And I love blue cheeses as much as anybody can but as burger or steak topping...nope doesn't work imo Back on general cheese stuff, recent revelation is that a mature Lancashire (Sainsbury's do a good one) is one I should buy more often. Amazing on a Hovis digestive biscuit. Or ten. |

From the makers of Black Bomber: Rock Star www.snowdoniacheese.co.uk/rock-star/This is also very nice. Despite what the blurb says, I suspect it's repackaged Black bomber that has had to make a bit longer because sales were slow due to pandemic. |

How can you comment in the cheese thread and not like French cheese?. Camembert isn't cheese. I'm actively considering alternative uses because the thought of eating the rest of this filth makes me gag.
I'm generally pretty forgiving when it comes to cheese but the the sulphurous stench every time I open the fridge door to get some milk is my limit. Perhaps I can construct a giant mouse trap and use it as bait to eliminate French people.

Yeah I can't deny it smells a bit... My wife is French. |

You know what I've got a newfound love for? Red Leicester. Couldn't fucking stand it when I was wee and now all I want is it's nutty goodness inside me. That's not what you've asked for, but it's what I've given you. Red Leicester. Is it cheddar though? No. It's Red Leicester. It's like the thinking man's cheddar. I find this is very hit and miss - we got some for free with a purchase of black bomber direct from the Snowdonia company last year, as it was lovely, as you describe. Bought some of the same brand from Waitrose this year and it tasted of onions. |

This thread is really making me want a Raclette. Only had one once in the Alps and have fond memories. What do you do the dipping with, fresh bread? Also remember cheese and meat fondues and that hot stone cook at your table thing which was pretty excellent.

Also remember cheese and meat fondues and that hot stone cook at your table thing which was pretty excellent. Generally we have it with potato's and an assortment of hams and other small goods but realistically you could have anything that goes well with cheese. Also get some reblochon it makes fantastic cheesy potato's and can be melted down with white wine to make a great cheese sauce/dip. |
