Stilton, the King of Cheeses, the best mature Cheddar I have had came from Cheddar in Somerset and was matured in the big cave at Cheddar Gorge (UK)

OMG! A thread on cheese! Yes...Stilton is certainly the King of Cheeses! No other blue compares, but a few cheeses do come close to the "favorite" list. Of goudas...Reypenaer VSOP 2year is awesome!..there was a 5year i had before that I cant find any more..it was dutch and great. Mimolette is good as well.
Gruyere is also a goto favorite!
And to be a bit loss snobby...I will eat an entire tub of portwine cheese with wheat cracker if allowed!
I did have a funny conversation about cheese with a guy from switzerland while playing poker. I was on about the best cheeses from holland and england when he suggested I try Emmentaler, being his native cheese. After a bit of description, I realized what he was talking about was "swiss cheese.' Aparently in switzerland, they don't call it swiss cheese.
