I love cheese too.  When we were little, Mom would get a little wedge of Blue and Roquefort cheese for us to eat as we walked through the grocery store with her.  We would save the foil package and she would pay for it at checkout.

Remembering how good Roquefort was, I told my wife and she had the grocer order some.  He warned us that it was expensive and it was. He said that it was the same as Blue Cheese and Blue Cheese was cheaper.  It wasn't, and it is.

I was so pleased with the Roquefort that I was eating it very sparingly and the stuff dried out.  I should have just pigged out.  Don't let anyone tell you that there isn't a difference.

Maytag blue is the best!

Of course now I get little tastes once in a while.......DanG cardiologist!  :-\  :-\  :-\

A Swietzer that can't eat cheese, It's just wrong

Yes, and am I ever some mad.  :D :D I could remember the days of good old NB made Sussex brand cheese. I have not bought it for years and now I remember why. Since it was gobbled by the syndicate known as Saputo as with other brands you can't get aged cheddar any longer. Oh, they put mild,medium and old on the wrapper but it's a big fat lie. That is not aged cheese. In fact I bought a chunk, said old and it tastes like Kraft processed cheese slices, only in a 1 lb block. What a mess of nothing.

I got some mild cheddar ( aged 2 yrs) at Shelburne Farms in Vermont they had cheddar that was aged 1yr , 2yr, 3 yr I thought that was some real good cheese. It was not cheap if you had to buy it, but we delivered a cooler to them and they gave me a block. That made it even better tasting.

Believe it or not, Utah has some of the best cheese that I have eaten. Check out their awards.

I love blue cheese! Trouble with the link is that I sign up and I can put my country as Canada but under the province selection there's no B.C!

[SwampDonkey]

Is it a Java thing? Sometimes when a country is selected on a page, it loads the provinces in a new drop list.


Hmm, just tried and no provinces come up.

I just tried it again and all the States come up but no provinces. Java is fine here so maybe it's because I'm a Canadian and they figure that cheese freezes in B.C ;D ;D

Ahhh cheese, one of life's great pleasures. I grew up with a local cheese that won numerous international awards. Saputo bought them as well, now the creamery is gone and there is little local product to choose from although the dairy giant is still capitalizing on the name.
Like SD, I have not been able to find a good sharp cheddar. Still have not acquired a taste for blue cheese but really enjoy Camambert and Gouda

[SwampDonkey]

Bought 3, 1/2 lb blocks of Cabot cheese in Maine on Friday. Have not opened any yet. But I am told the "Hell of a Good Cheese" brand is a good cheese as well and that is sold in Maine to.

I gotta make another Bangor run this April and get some more stuff. ;D

It's been quite a few years since Kraft went thru Wisconsin and ran all the good cheese makers out of business. Kraft first signed exclusive contracts with all the small cheese makers for all their production and then cut them back on production till they had to quit. But there were a few that stayed independent. Here is the online store for one:     

Burnett Dairy Cooperative

They are in NW Wisconsin in the little town of Alpha and have very good cheese. They have aged sharp cheddar that crumbles when you try to slice it. Good ice cream cones too.  ;D

[Norm]

Thank you Gary, I just sent them an order for a variety of cheese. All of the stuff we get near us is terrible.

Wonder if they'd ship me ice cream too.

Doubt it. But the next time I go thru there I could pick one up for you. Course if it started to melt, you know what I'd have to do.  :D

It's easy to find the place. Just take the Rock Creek exit off I 35 and head towards Wisconsin on Hwy 70. It's not far across the St. Croix River to Alpha.

[Norm]

The cheese I got from Burnett Dairy was excellent! I'm sending in another order today as I pigged out on pizza and used a bunch of it up already. Thanks again Gary.

[SwampDonkey]

The Cabot cheese I got in Maine was the same stuff as Kraft (McCain).  :-\

Edit: I did find their Extra Sharp cheese quite satisfying. I don't know about that term extra sharp though, it's Sharp or old as it was 30 years ago. These corporations are great at labeling and advertising. The average Joe out there must have memory loss. :D

[Raider Bill]

My Dad sends me 10 lbs of McCadam Wicked Sharp New York Chedder every year. It's made in Chateaugay, NY.
Sharp stuff puts a nice bite on your tongue!

[SwampDonkey]

You can tell the three grades of cheese here are exactly the same (mild,medium,old). Otherwise, how on earth could you charge the same exact price for each?  Taste will also tell you it's the same.

The more it's aged, you would think the more they would want. Works that way with alcoholic beverages doesn't it?  :

[CHARLIE]

There are a lot of small cheese factories in Wisconsin.  There is one kind of between Somerset and New Richmond close to a small lake called Bass Lake.  Bass Lake Cheese Factory makes excellent cheese.

Also, there is Nelson Cheese Factory in Nelson, Wisconsin, next to Alma and they also sell ice cream.  It is across the river from Wabasha, Minnesota which is on the Mississippi River in SE Minnesota.

There used to be a cheese factory in Stockton Mo. owned by a Johnston family.  When they put in the Dam to make Stockton Lake,  The Johnstons put up a sign on their processing plant----"Best Cheese by a Dam Site"  :D :D
