Cheddar is most overrated, in America it’s basically the staple cheese so don’t fucking disagree with me you dimwitted euros, our population is way bigger than yours
Not sure about underrated

>> No.13551081

Havarti is the most underrated, but it’s been gaining some popularity in recent years.

I can’t think of an overrated cheese because they’re all kinda good. Maybe munster, it’s good on a turkey sandwich but really plain tasting by itself.

i'm betting there are hundreds of semi-hard, mild, emmental/edam/gruyere type cheeses around he world that are perfect for tasting, cooking and making sandwiches with, so one of them deserves to get the underrated title.

if i have to pick a single cheese, i'd say manchego, which doesn't fit in the above category but it's just fantastically tasty and i very rarely hear it mentioned

>> No.13551178

>>13551170
I just bought a 1-year manchego, i can concur that it is delicious, but considering it’s basically only useful for grating, i’d give it 7/10. Probably 8/10 if you knew what to pair it with better than I do.

I saw a picture once where it claimed you weren't supposed to eat the rind.
Awful.

>> No.13551196

>>13551178
hmm, do you think so? when i think of grating cheeses, i think sharp cheeses like pecorino romano or parmigiano
manchego is pretty mild and i ate it as a tasting cheese. anyway, on one chef john video he recommended pairing it with a quince paste called membrillo. that's what i paired it with and it was indeed tasty, but i liked it even after i ran out of the membrillo

guess you can try pairing it with some kind of cold cut too, if i remember i had some bacon on hand too and it went well with that too.

The average American either dislikes it or has never tried a good quality feta.

Eh, fuck them, cheddar has a lot of variation if you start looking around, each has it's ideal use. Saltier brit cheddars for omelettes, more balanced Californian or Wisconsin cheddars for sauces, Vermont cheddar for charcuterie boards, etc. Also you think they'd be happy about the death of "American cheese".

No clue, namely because it's made of colostrum, the special milk only produced 48-72 hours after the animal has given birth. It's also traditionally made of reindeer milk, though every commercial version I have seen in the US uses cow. Also the traditional way to cook the cheese at the end is kinda nuts, they nail it to a circular board and slowly spin it in front of a super hot pizza oven type fire. Finland's crazy and I love it.

This thread doesn’t really make sense. People say they don’t like cheddar, but are they talking about a block of craft cheddar? Aged cheddar? Hooks cheddar? Bandage wrapped cheddar? Or Gouda, is it sandwich Gouda from the deli? L’Amuse 5 year Gouda or what? There are all kinds of variety in different types of cheese depending on the production and aging process. I worked in a cheese shop for two years and learned quite a bit to know that most people don’t know a whole lot about cheese, or what they do know is only from the grocery store deli. That’s okay and I’m not an elitist, but discussions like this are meaningless.

flavored munster, cumin or not, is always better but it's more rare here probably because we got the authentic one. but as stated before, i'd still choose any other cheese that I like better over it if it was just plain or with bread. If i really wanna play devil's advocate, it is weirdly delicious when melted in the oven on bread compared to room temperature/cold. Cold, it smells like crazy but I really do not get much of a taste, especially since you know, most cheeses have a very strong taste, it's quite weird.

Underrated: some of the nuttier hard ripened french cheeses, nobody here buys them so not many places stock it anymore.

Overrated: St. Hubert's cheeses because it's just as expensive as the imports, but has none of the tariffs so they are literally just taking advantage of the fact that all the other cheeses around are expensive and it's just salty, hard milk.

In America, many grocers sell cheese, it comes like this and 99% of people assume it’s CHEDDAR CHEESE because it’s NOT in the same packaging as what people consider to be AMERICAN CHEESE.
Because of this, tons of Americans buy this cheese, and they think it’s REAL CHEDDAR and everyone thinks it’s so good that like 70% of AMERICANS (NOT EUROPEANS! AMERICANS ARE NOT CITIZENS OF THE WORLD THEY ARE CITIZENS OF AMERICA) and because SO MANY PEOPLE buy this shit, it is OVER FUCKING RATED, as in, people are giving this cheese more praise and buying it much more often that anyone should be, because there’s a ton of better cheeses in existence.

The most underrated cheese in the world is kraft American cheese. The most overrated is kraft American cheese deluxe.

Blue.
It smells like rubber cement and it's not used in any recipes for main parts of any dish.

>Blue.
That's rather undefined. Also, it depends what you consider the "main part" of a dish. Outside of maybe cheese fondue, I wouldn't consider any cheese to be the main part of any dish.

How many bad taste takes do you think can be sourced to the quality of the food they tried?

One cheese that got too warm somewhere so it altered the taste/texture/other. That one overripe or immature fruit, one tasteless apple. Not everyone gives food several tries before set in their ways.

Never heard of a cheese called 'Blue', you're talking about blue mould cheeses in general? In which case you are retarded.

The absolute state of flyovers. I get you think "swiss" cheese is a single cheese too.
