Again, in my area bevmo seems to be the goto place for such cheese research. Although I should probably check out Trader Joe's or a frighteningly overpriced market like Whole Foods are Mollie Stone to be sure. Ordinarily my wallet drags me forcibly away from such places.

Red Leicester is the best cheese for toasting IMO, and very underrated. Aged Gouda is a fancier alternative.
I'm very fond of Manchego and ewe's milk cheeses.

Red Leicester! Toasted, of course, but try it on a pizza. A little sprinkled just as it comes from the oven gives a nice extra bit of flavour.

My all-time favourite Cheddar is Barber's Cruncher. Fantastic flavour. I assume it got its name because it tends to develop little crunchy calcium deposits on the outside over time.

Lancashire toasted suits my taste buds better.
Each to her/his own.
Alternatives are good. A ewe's milk Swaledale can be substituted from Wensleydale as an interesting twist. Or Sage Derby melted on chicken.

Actually, Tillamook makes some aged cheeses that are better than decent. Their Vintage Extra Sharp White Cheddar (aged 2-3 years), while not as complex and well-rounded as a true English Farmhouse Cheddar, is much better than most of the ersatz stuff that gets imported to the US under that name.

Here is someone pointing out that in some classic novels all problems are solved with cheese.

Mind you, Heidi is set in Switzerland, where they sort of invented the stuff. quote: Originally posted by balaam: ... Sage Derby melted on chicken.
I'm not sure about that - I always think Sage Derby looks lovely on a cheese-board, but I imagine that if you melted it, it would look like a sneeze ...

I always wondered what kind of cheese it was that Grandfather toasted over on open fire and smeared on bread. quote: Originally posted by Piglet:

You can say that about a variety of cheeses, really...
