Cheese

As I mentioned in the sandwich thread,

Sharp chedder, Swiss, provolone, Gouda, and Munster are among my favorites.

I enjoy it with bread (grilled cheese, ham and cheese or any sort of deli sandwich, burger, etc.), on potatoes, melted over broccoli, with crackers, on pasta (though usually parmesan for pasta), or alone. Basically, I consider it one of the finest food products ever invented, and though I don't like the smelly or runny stuff, most cheeses are on my yummy list.

Swiss cheese like Jarlsburg (but why do they charge you more for cheese with holes in it? - seems like a con to me)

Italian cheese: ricotta, mozzarella, parmigiano (not for sandwiches, but nice in cooking)

My all-time favorite is probably super sharp, made in Vermont, Cheddar. Great stuff. It loses some of the bite when melted so you really should have it unheated, and you need to be careful about overpowering the bite of the cheddar with mustards and other sauces so I usually like to use a honey mustard.

Then I like mozzarella, muenster, provolone, Colby, Monterey Jack, feta, and pretty much any not especially "stinky" or blue cheese. They're all good for different things.

Oh and American Cheese, though it has only been pre-melted to "improve" the texture when melted, is the devil. It is not real cheese and should not be consumed in the place of suck noble products as cheddar and colby.

Is it realy named Jarlsburg in the US?
The cheese is good on pizza and in salads.. especially the smoked version.

Hmm... Uesugi's got it about right in terms of the very sharp cheddar, which is wicked awesome when un-melted. The best melted cheeses are mozzarella and provolone. Monterrey Jack is great too. I really don't like Swiss cheese that much though.
