retarded american here

where do i buy real cheese like with wax on the outside

AKA not a rectangle with plastic wrap on it

>>9302696
Walmart has Baby Bel

>>9302696
Go to a dairy. Visit a farmer's market. Cheese shops aren't too popular unless you're in a city but there's that too.

>>9302696
Depends on what grocery chains you've got, I've bought waxed hoop cheese at publix and bi-lo before

I eat a lot of blue cheese and brie. What else can I buy that I will actually eat over the course of a week or two? Either for desert or a snack

>>9302716
Cheese isn't a dessert, burger.

>>9302667
What does it taste like?

>>9302696
Aldi has some usually, but I've never tried them there. Meijer has a fair selection for being a chain, but I dunno where they exist.

>>9302723
Nobody is going to eat a chunk of cheddar cheese for dessert but sweetened cheese desserts are pretty common. Cheesecake, cheese pastries, some people even like to put a little bit of cheddar on a slice of apple pie.

>>9302892
What is this? Looks like brie baked into potatoes, is it basically just a gratin?

>>9302696

>>9302931
Not him but it's a bit like a gratin, yes. It's a french dish with potatoes, garlic, cream, onions, and lardons with Reblochon on top melting over the rest in the oven.

>>9302947
Depends. Do you usually prefer strong (roquefort, boulette d'avesnes, maroilles, epoisse) or more gentle cheese (brie, emmental, saint felicien, saint nectaire) ? And hard (comté) or soft "dough" (camembert) ?

Of course if you can buy your cheese to a specialized shop, it will be better than in a supermarket. Even a simple camembert can be top tier if it's a good one. Unfortunately, it's also quite a bit expensive. If you're a bit short on cash, supermarket still have a lot of variety and decent cheeses for a good price most of the time.

I am reasonably sure, the guy wanted to start a discussion about this picture, by making the poster give additional information about it. Not just asking what it is.

No reason to get your panties in a twist over that.

If you just want to look at a picture and then at a wiki page, google picture search might be more in your alley.

On topic, Old Amsterdam is one of my favourite treat cheeses. I usually only buy it when a chunk of it is on sale. But the crumbly texture and dryness is really good.

>>9302696
Whole foods has a fantastic cheese selection. I wouldn't step foot in there if it wasn't great, so it's really good.

They have raw cheeses, impored cheese, and it changes often. I hate how pretentious the store is, but good cheese is good cheese.

"Real" cheese tastes like shit, stop listening to eurofags. I tried that shit in France and it was awful. It smelt like moldy shit.

>>9302764
That one is overdone. Probably tastes like ammonia.

>>9303919
I enjoy this a lot as well. I eat a lot of farmer's market cheese. Got this goat that's sort of like parmesan and crumbly. Also got their version of camembert which seems pretty reliable.

Old amsterdam is probably one of the better mass produced cheeses out there. but in that category the Beemster 48+ extra belegen still holds the crown.

Yes, Beemster is also one of the brands I like to buy in chunks when on sale.

In the area of soft cheeses, I want to commend Cambozola. A german-made cheese, that is a fusion of Camembert and Gorgonzola. A very mild blue-cheese. Great with fresh bread. Superbly creamy.

Recently got my hands on 1,7 kg of Parmesan cheese for 21 euro when traveling through Italy. Its crazy how much you get overcharged when you buy it outside of the country

>>9304227
looks good, recently moved from the Netherlands to Austria and was very disappointed to see what gets passes as Gouda in these parts. so I've been on the look out for some good germanic cheeses.

>>9304238
Go to a proper cheese monger on a market. The supermarkets don't have shit.

>>9304061

you're an ultra pleb

>>9305564
You don't need the "next step", you need to go back to the first step.

Simply staying "cheddar" or "brie" doesn't mean shit. For each of those names there is a massive range of products with different flavors and textures.

For example, cheddar: A block of generic "cheddar" made by a multinational conglomorate and sold at Wal-mart is going to taste totally different to, say, a highly aged cheddar from Dorset.

And likewise with Brie: You've got the real deal stuff that isn't legal to import into the US because it's unpasteurized. You've got the mid-range stuff that's made in France but is pasteurized for import. And then you've got various domestically made copies ranging from awesome to horrible.

So when you go try a new cheese don't just try "cheddar". Pay attention to the specific type you bought. How does it compare to other cheddars from different regions, different ages, etc. Some are mild and creamy. Others are crumbly and sharp. Just because you tried one and loved it (or hated it) doesn't mean you would have the same reaction to all cheddars.

I get that a full list would be impractically large for a poster, but what's the logic in including so many obscure artisanal varieties while ignoring classics and even entire styles? How can a list be this hip, and yet so sloppy?

local cheese from the small island i live in greece.

Basically a hard feta that is left in the bottom of a barrel with wine leavings for half a year. Comes out super tangy and tastes like a strong red wine that has been diluted with a light feta.
