What kind of cheese?

For those who have lived in the Pacific Northwest, and especially for those who have visited a certain college town, there is only one: Cougar Gold!

Light in color, but an explosion of flavor. Sold in cans, because that's the correct way to sell cheese.

Manchego.

Came in to post ^^^this.

But I like pretty much all cheeses.

One of my favorites is one that I've only had a few times in my life, but I distinctly remember how and where I first discovered it: I was an undergrad at music school circa 1981 and the drummer from my recital band showed up at a party with this oddly green-tinged cheese. I totally expected it to taste like bleu cheese...but no, this was exquisitely delicious in a way that even bleu cheeses fanatics will rarely acknowledge their favorite cheese can achieve. Irish Derby with Sage. Freakin' awesome cheese!
 
I'm all about that Gouda.

All cheese is good, except mozzarella. Most overrated cheese of all time. It's not bad, but it's not good either.

Fresh mozzarella is pretty darned good. That shredded stuff in a bag is just a necessary evil for some dishes.

My one desert island cheese would have to be an extra sharp Vermont white cheddar.

I'll concede that mozzarella of questionable freshness and quality is good on pizza, and the fresh stuff is good in certain applications like a Caprese salad, but it's not a tasty cheese. Not on its own.
