r/Cheese

I aged a cheese at home! It started with out a rind. Now it has one!

90s-2000s nostalgia

This was a core memory when I was growing up. It meant we were about to have some amazing grilled cheese. 🧀

Roasted chicken, sour cream mashed potatoes, garlic green beans. And then, I just throw blue cheese all over it. 🤷 A favorite meal. Anyone do anything similar with any cheese (besides raclette)?

For me, it’s really the exception that proves the rule: I love every cheese I’ve ever tried, but I hate Emmentaler, especially when it has little holes and tricks you into being something else

ETA sorry for the AI pic, ripped the pic from Google, source is actually a French cheese shop: https://shop.vercorslait.com/fromages/89-62-emmental-de-savoie.html

To everyone who made suggestions - thank you so much! I couldn’t get the particular brands suggested coz I’m in Australia, but i found local brands with similar ingredients & yes, they’re good 💕
I picked myself up a nice Coal River Farm Blue & Bruny Island Saint cheese too while i was placing orders 😁

To the people who were dismissive or mean about the fact that i was asking about vegan cheese - pull your head out of your Trou du Cru 🙄
I was asking for cheese recommendations that wouldn’t kill my fiancee with severe allergies. If she could eat real cheese without worrying about her throat closing up, she would in a heartbeat. I felt bad enjoying my cheeses while all she could do was watch while eating rice crackers & hummus.

If anyone’s interested in vegan-friendly, gluten-free cheese for themselves or a loved one, i ended up getting:
From Tasmanian Gourmet
Lauds Aged Cashew Vegan Cheese
Lauds Romano Shake
From The Vegan Dairy
Red Bell Pepper Soft Cheese
Herb and Garlic Soft Cheese
Aged and Smokey

Siggy the cat thanks you for helping her mum.
My baby Cynder the python (pictured) is taking all further complaints.

Ready just in time for Halloween!

This was my first attempt.

Am I just crazy or have the Cacique brand queso fresco (specifically one in attached pic) been consistently bad?I don’t think they’re necessarily spoiled since the expiration date is nowhere close to today, but it’s sour straight out of the package. I’ve eaten this cheese for years and have never had this problem. I’ve gotten it from different stores, even in different sizes, but they’re all the same. I always make sure to refrigerate the cheese immediately so I know I’m not doing anything wrong. This has been going on for months I keep trying other brands but eventually try this one again only to be disappointed… again. Is anyone else experiencing this or am I insane?

im surprised i can eat whole cubes/slices of cheese at one go😋 happy to join the community

I carved a cheese wedge. For the Swiss cheese holes I used the newly modified bottle opener on my Swiss Army knife. This was a quick and fun project that can be done in less than an hour!
