    Gouda Cheese:

    I recently tried Gouda cheese, it's probably a famous one, I am just a beginner, but gotta admit, I loved it! This is how it's described "The cheese is from milk that is cultured and heated until the curd is separate from the whey. Some of the whey is then drained, and water is added. This is called "washing the curd", and creates a sweeter cheese, as the washing removes some of the lactic acid.

    Depending on age classification, it can be any time between a number of weeks to over 7 years before it is ready to be eaten. As it ages it develops a caramel sweetness and sometimes has a slight crunchiness from salt-like calcium lactate or tyrosine crystals[3] that form in older cheeses.

    Cheese is hugely overrated. Goes good with some stuff, but as it is, it's nothing special.

    Oh dear, there are lots to list here but in general I'd go with the Frenchies, the more it stinks the tastier.

    Well, out of the top of my head I'd recommend these:

    Roquefort


    Camembert, especially Le Rustique's


    Garlic Boursin


    Ossau Iraty


    Epoisses


    Eerytime I have cheese and wine I have the first three available. The rest vary a lot. But Ossau Iraty and Epoisses remain special. I like goat cheeses also but there are lots to choose from and they are almost all the same, so it doesn't really matter.

    Keep them up :tup:

    Roquefort must be the heaviest of all, tried it few times. I will try the others.

    You recommend anything with baguette? I would love to find a good match for turkey!
