I really love cheese. But I know some do not like certain cheeses - my brother thinks goats’ cheese is the food of the devil. Me, I love it. And now, as I live in France, I truly get me fill of great cheeses. Hard, soft, crumbly, salty, strong, blue - all.
So, here is my question - what is your fav cheese and what is your cheese nightmare?
Goats milk is a lot easier for humans to digest ![]()
I like RAW cheese (goat or cow) as it is better for you ![]()
Illegal in Australia, milk must be pasteurised, TB is not recommended for good health. Cheese generally has to be treated, it is uneconomic not to do so.

Parmesan is an essential!
I’m forever grating some to sprinkle onto pasta dishes. I used to quite enjoy Edam but these days it just seems to be like a kind of tastless rubber! Perhaps I’m just buying the wrong kind of cheapo supermarket stuff?
I like almost all types of cheeses, including sheep cheese, except goat! Not for me, thank you. ![]()
I’ll never forget once, years ago, after a family holiday up in the Alps, during the eleven hour car journey home, there was a nasty, strange smell coming from the boot, only to find out when we got home that it was a little packet of cheese I had bought but I didn’t know it was goat, I threw it right into the bin, obviously. ![]()
Luckily in our areas, goat cheese is not so popular, our stores sell huge ranges of cow and sheep cheeses, mostly cow.
