Cheese Day - June 4th

I just love cheese! Especially the blue veined cheeses. In fact, I hope to concoct a mushroom and Gorgonzola pizza either tonight or tomorrow.

I have a friend from Wisconsin that his friend that lives there sends him cheese curds. He shares them with me and they are really good. Yellow Jack, Swiss, Pepper Jack and others. All are very good.
 
I love just about all cheeses except processed cheeses like velveeta or american-style (actually created in Switzerland). They seem like a soft wax to me. One time I watched a show talking about cheese from across the world. They told the story about how processed cheese came about & real cheese makers wanted it to called embalmed cheese because they didn't want it confused with the real stuff.

This is from Wiki - Processed cheese - Wikipedia - Processed cheese (also known as process cheese; related terms include cheese food, prepared cheese, or cheese product) is a product made from cheese mixed with an emulsifying agent (actually a calcium chelator). Additional ingredients, such as vegetable oils, unfermented dairy ingredients, salt, food coloring, or sugar may be included. As a result, many flavors, colors, and textures of processed cheese exist. Processed cheese typically contains around 50 to 60% cheese and 40 to 50% other ingredients.[1][2]
 
Truffle goat cheese log (or any flavor you like) ... Slice about 1/4" thick, dip in egg white & then cover in seasoned bread crumbs pressing gently. Fry in olive oil until golden & then flip gently & repeat. I put them back in the fridge to make sure they are well chilled before cooking. Serve them on a salad with a vinaigrette.

Wow, @Lilac, this sounds great! Thank you.

Ever had Humbolt Fog chevre? No truffle but really nice.

I love many 🧀 cheeses but am now getting the lower fat kinds. I never tried Limberger but I never wanted to either. I don't like goat cheese either.
 
Eat lots of cheap cheese I just restocked yesterday. Also regularly buy the $$ Trader Joe's aged Gouda cheese.

Place small cut up cubes of cheddar and aged Gouda on a ceramic plate that had been sprinkled with salt. Microwave briefly to mostly melt.

I used to eat Moose-brand Limburger cheese with Dad. We would spread it on dark rye & eat it with green onions dipped in salt. No one else in my house will try it. Love it!
