Who cuts the cheese?

[John McClain]

I am sitting here enjoying some brie with crackers and fresh fruit. I was wondering what cheeses the board likes? It is unfortunate that our cheese choices are so limited in the United States. It is hard to find good, reasonably priced cheeses sometimes. What are some of the places you can find a decent cheese?

My wife was cutting something fierce after the cassoulet she had Sat night.

Best cheese shop I have found is DiBruno brothers, in Philadelphia (www.dibruno.com). The have a shop downtown and one in the italian market. I think they will ship all over.

That's impossible. WOmen don't do that. Unless . . . oh, now it all makes sense.

Occasionally you can find something good at Costco or Sam's at a fraction of the price you can find it elsewhere. Case in point, we got some mozzarella di bufala, like two pounds for $8 a couple of years back at Costco. It was not as good as the non-exported stuff, but you know it is a long way to travel.

I miss Rouy, an orange-rinded cheese I would buy in France for dirt cheap. The rind smells vaguely ammonia-like, but the cheese is fantastic.

Here in Utah, there are some surprisingly satisfying local cheeses from Beehive Cheese (their cabot cheddar melts beautifully and goes equally well on a cheese platter). Costco even has a decently priced, if somewhat limited, cheese selection—some good gruyère, cheddars, even decent Brie sometimes. I love Rembrandt gouda, aged for a year and carrying a simply perfect, nutty, fruity flavor. I love it with honeycrisp apples and hunks of baguette.

I love cheese. . . .

I like cheese and crackers, but I am a simple man. Tillamook and Triscuits do the trick for me.

I just feasted on Tillamook and Ritz! (I'm not a Triscuit fan).

That's a solid combo as well.

Wegmans has awesome cheeses. They're only in NY, NJ, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia though.

They have a triple creme brie that is awesome. It's like butter.

Surprise surprise.

I got a triple creme brie from Costco during the holidays. I haven't seen it in the cooler since, so I haven't been able to get more.

It was very good. Like you say, it was like butter.

I like a good Queso Manchego with some grapes or cold cuts.

Obviously, Jamon Iberico would be best, but it's pretty hard to come by without any planning.

I also like the Manchego with a little cantloupe or other melon (watermelon excluded).

Harmon's in Utah has a solid cheese selection. In Portland it was Fred Meyer (surprising but they really had a nice selection) and Zupan's.
