Cheese has been enjoyed for hundreds of years, but only recently has there been a resurgence, enhanced by new artisanal cheese producers from all over the world.

 

Here are the fifty best cheese classics and newcomers, listed alphabetically from 9 different countries.

 

  Country: Ireland 
Durrus

Durrus
West Cork, Ireland
Made by Durrus Farmhouse Cheese

Durrus is a unique cheese. Definitely a member of the washed rind family, but simpler, heartier. Its flavor is earthy and funky, like cream of mushroom soup and roast goose. Cheese maker Jeffa Gill began this cheese in 1979 on her stove top. Now she makes in a traditional copper vat. As with most British and Irish cheeses, the finest examples of this cheese come from the aging rooms at Neal's Yard Dairy.

I had my first taste of Piave cheese on the recommendation of the owner of Romma Market in Pasadena N. Lake Ave. I was blown away.....I went back the next day and purchased 4 pounds. My wife and I are planning a trip to Italy just for the purpose of exploring cheese and wine. If you're ever in the Pasadena area, please visit this wonderful delightful market.

My all-time favorite cheese is Valio Mustaleima (Valio Blacklabel).. it's a very mature emmental. Very smelly and it "cries" a lot, the taste is mouth-watering. I've also heard that Finland has EU's healthiest milk, yum! http://jaakaappi.fi/static/images/tuotekuvat/6408430031276-i.jpg

You must list La Sauvagine, a fantastic washed rind cow's milk cheese from Quebec. It might be my favourite cheese of all.

Did you know that monks in Belgium not only made fantastic beers but excellent cheeses. This country has over 250 different cheeses. Worth looking into I suggest. Jeffrey
