The best thing about Christmas is Cheese.

Anyone got any tips or seen any good offers?

 

TBTmdcA.jpgThis is a good one 2kg £19.99.

Not 100% on all the cheese in it but Ford Farm are nice cheese.

Try buying a tiny amount of a really string cheese like Stinking Bishop and put it under an upturned bowl or similar with a large piece of mature cheddar.

The cheddar will take amazing within a few hours.

If you like the Stinking Bishop then eat that too

I normally drive over to Cropwell Bishop and buy half a wheel of Stilton direct from the dairy.

Chuck in some mature cheddar, bit of goats cheese and something softer like a Boursan, variety of crackers and some nice Chutneys and jobs a good un.

Maybe some pate too.

For once @David has it right, cheese pretty much improves every other food.

My old man lives there in the home of Stilton, which I love and he doesn't. Last time I was there and I mentioned the lack of stilton on the cheese plate there in Cropwell Bishop itself. Unasked, the next morning his missus went out to get me some. She came back with a packet from the local CoOp! Sometimes I despair.

Any of the full-flavoured bries - I love to stuff rosemary sprigs and garlic shavings into them then pop them in the oven. 15 to 20 mins @180 then cut a cross in the top and dunk fresh french stick bread chunks, fondu-stylee. I love the hard cheeses too - Emmental and Gouda are my favourites but I'm not terribly adventurous and tend to stick to what I know. I'd be getting some Somerset Cheddar too to go with Boxing Day cold-cuts.

All of sudden I feel quite peckish! :lol:

I saw on that site they had Langres. Went camping there once and discovered they had their own cheese. Probably got through one a day. Amazing.

I like Derby Sage but I find it tends to dry up very quickly.

We had a cheese wedding "cake" as well as the actual cake and it became clear that we'd never be able to eat the leftovers quick enough, so we froze a load of the Sage Derby.

If anything it improved it & we enjoyed it more. Leave it too long, though and it goes a bit too crumbly.

Most cheese will freeze well - for 3-4 months I reckon. I normally buy a whole Brie when I go to Costco & freeze it in pieces. Always comes out fine.

It's a disgusting creation, especially when matured into a stinky, mouldy block of ****. 

My opinion is the same as @Kernow's. Apart from on pizza. I do love a good Domino's/Pizza Hut BBQ Pizza.

In which case I can only call you inconsistent and wrong. You cannot be a true cheese hater unless you stick to your guns and ban it from entering your body through any means.

I see potential in you, but you really need to knock pizza on the head full stop. Chinese is better anyway.

Chinese is great, I work at a takeaway so I eat it for free at least 3 times a week.

A good curry with rice (especially garlic-fried) and naan bread is fantastic as well.

Stilton freezes well, too, but again, can become a bit crumbly.

It is possible to freeze cheese. Some hard, or semi – hard cheeses can be frozen without greatly affecting the flavour.

Not all cheeses will freeze well, however, especially soft cheeses such as cream cheese and cottage cheese which can become watery and grainy in texture. Freezing can also affect the texture of some hard cheeses, making it crumbly and harder to use. For this reason the best use for frozen cheese is for cooking. If you do wish to freeze cheese, for best results, you should grate it first and then store it in an airtight plastic bag. Avoid freezing blocks of cheese as it will lose a lot of moisture and become crumbly.
