r/Cheese

I haven't posted on this sub in a million years, but I finally have a fun cheese to talk about!

As stated in the title, Vampire Huntress is a black garlic raclette style cheese and is made in Switzerland. It definitely has a smell (apparently it smells like regular raclette, which I have forgotten the smell of) but that probably isn't helped by the black garlic. It tastes good plain. I haven't tried it melted on anything yet, but I think it could be fun on some roasted potatoes or a burger.

I LOVE Aldi’s Emporium Selection Balsamic Onion cheese. The texture, the flavor, it’s all just perfect. The only problem is I can never find it. Once or maybe twice a year I’ll find a block at Aldi and the rest of the time it’s sold out. I’m not super into cheeses (I like cheese and stuff but if you ask me to name the notes and such you’ll get a blank stare), but I’m def willing to branch out a little.

Thank you for any help 🙏

Not the most traditional (although compared to Wisconsin style beer cheese, it’s far more of an actual soft-cheese), but nevertheless tasty. Cheddar, garlic, stale beer, and some form of hot pepper (flakes, powder, Tabasco, etc).

NOTE: there are many brands but Charlie’s is my favorite. Kentucky Beer Cheese brand is a close runner up. the good brands will always use aged cheese and have enough beer that they have to list the ingredients IN beer.

Truffle Brie!!! I’m obsessed!! I also got a black garlic Manchego!

I noticed the truffle Brie has two different textures sandwiching the truffle layer? Is it both Brie? I forgot to ask the shop owner.

My guts hate me for this but they don’t know anything. Dear lord though was it hellish going in. 😭

The fries were great too!

And yes we got the “Prestige box” that contains 7 of the cheeses lol

Lmk if anyone wants me to translate the cheese descriptions to English.

First time cooking a grilled cheese since emigrating to Spain. Went to Aldi up the street from my VRBO and bought a loaf of Spanish rustico brand bread, a pack of queso fundido sandwich slices, and a bottle of Hellmans Mayonnaise (pleasant surprise). Had to memorize the stove and timing as it’s very different on a Spanish countertop stove vs the gas stove I had back in the states.
