  • My 5 Favorite Types of Cheese



    The other night, while dining with the IRLF team, we were talking about our love for cheese and how it's hard to pick the one that is our favorite. Indeed, it is very hard to choose just one. I love cheese, but there are definitely ones I prefer over others. I'm partial to the softer types, but a lot of the hard cheeses have a ton of flavor.

    We all know cheese can be one of my many weaknesses, so it's hard to turn down. Eating too much cheese can easily cause some blockage in your digestive system, so be careful! 
     
    In no particular order, here are 5 of my favorite cheeses of all time! 

    1. Gouda

    I love the flavor and texture of gouda. This is usually the cheese I go for first in any kind of cheese spread or layout. It also melts well and is fantastic in macaroni and cheese. It's a good snacking cheese and smoked gouda is the best!


    2. Cracker Barrel Aged Reserve Extra Sharp Cheddar

    This specific cheese is unbelievable good. I tried it for the the first time a couple months ago when it was on sale at the grocery store. Extra sharp cheddar has tons of flavor and this specific kind is quite addicting.

    3. Goat Cheese


    Goat cheese is good on everything! I love it in salads, on crackers, in pasta or just by itself. This is the best kind of spreadable cheese, forget about that fake stuff.

    4. American Cheese


    I know, I know...American cheese isn't exactly real cheese, but I can't help it, sometimes American cheese is the best way to go. It melts super well, it tastes pretty darn good and it's cheap! I especially love American cheese on my steak and cheese subs, there's nothing better than that.

    5. Muenster Cheese


    I've always loved muenster cheese! It has a subtle flavor and in my opinion is best eaten on it's own. I of course love to put it on sandwiches, but the flavor can easily get lost. I love to just take a slice of muenster cheese, roll it up and eat it just like that! 

    What are your favorite types of cheese?
