A radical new guide to the ever-widening world of cheese takes an accessible approach: Begin with what you love
Up to now, cheese guides have tended to focus more on where and how cheese is made than on how best to enjoy it. Meanwhile, according to the USDA, Americans’ annual consumption of natural (as opposed to processed) cheese increased from 19.3 to 29.47 pounds per capita between 1995 and 2015, and the range of cheeses to choose from has become downright daunting.
The time has come for “The Book of Cheese: The Essential Guide To Discovering Cheeses You’ll Love,” published this month by Flatiron Books. In it, author Liz Thorpe introduces a blessedly consumer-focused framework for making sense of the expanding cheese universe. Familiar “Gateway Cheeses” serve as points of departure to lesser-known styles with similar flavors and textures. Parmesan is the entry point to “hard, grainy cheeses with nutty character,” Swiss the portal to “smooth, pliable, brilliant melters.”
As few others can, Ms. Thorpe connects the dots between supermarket brie and Sequatchie Cove Creamery Dancing Fern, “one of the most complex and thoughtful cheeses being made in America.” After beginning behind the counter at New York’s influential Murray’s Cheese, she rose to vice president and brought Murray’s kiosks to grocery stores around the U.S.

Try some Butter Kase(German) cheese. It’s decadent.
Smoked Austrian, Japanese Sage Derby, Venezuelan Beaver Cheese,
Cougar Gold from Washington State University.
Dear God in heaven, what a delicious cheese.
Let the weather cool down a bit, then order some for the holidays.
Really, it is extraordinary.
Dittos on the Stilton and the Maytag Blue !
I’m have some 10+ pounds of various cheeses in my basement frig.
Costco has Jalsberg on sale this month. Going this week to rack up more cheese in my cache.
My day starts with homemade bread with butter and cheese.

30 lbs is an average. I make up for a couple of vegans.
I understand Liederkranz is being made again.
Went out of production because of contamination about 10 yrs ago.
If you like Limburger you might like it. IMO Limburger smells like roses compared to Liederkranz.
Funny thing, when you cut into the nasty brain-like crust the odor vanishes .
But it is a mild tasting, creamy cheese.
I’m suddenly feeling a hankering for a hunk of aged sharp cheddar, myself. :)

German Tilsit is another of those horrific-smelling yet utterly delicious cheeses.
It smells like a high school boy’s locker room 9 weeks into the semester but nobody has taken their gear home to wash.
Really, it smells that bad, if not worse, but boy howdy does it ever taste good.
Tonight, I made Potato Lasagna. Got the recipe off a video on Facebook. Two main ingredients were cream cheese and mozzarella. Man, it was incredibly delicious!!
Conversely, the worst substance I’ve ever put in my mouth was a cheese. My old executive chef at the catering kitchen I used to work at swore that the Danish Blue cheese she got for a catering was “the good stuff”.
Because I’ll try anything once, I popped it into my mouth. The taste was something between week-old gym socks and crotch. I couldn’t get the taste out of my mouth for half an hour.
I’ve got their average beat.
Mmmmmmm, cheese.
Don’t forget the Metamucil.
