I think my top three picks would be (in no particular order)

Mozzarella

Provolone

Swiss

Swiss is by far my favorite, I also enjoy:

Fourme d'Ambert

Smoked Gouda

Pecorino Romano

I’m basing mine on cheeses I enjoy by themselves:

Monterey Jack
Feta
Mozzarella (especially marinated in olive oil)

I should give a quick shout out to parmesan cheese. If I have pasta I must (MUST!) have grated parm on it. But I don’t think I’ve ever had it in block or slice form. So I didn’t include it on the list.

Mozzarella

Mild Cheddar

Monterey Jack

American

I’m basing mine on cheeses I enjoy by themselves:

Monterey Jack
Feta
Mozzarella (especially marinated in olive oil)

Feta is also my favorite, especially with salad. Jalapeno cheese if by themselves.

Fresh Mozzarella, tomato & basil is my favorite thing to eat. I get it fresh and warm on some weekend mornings from Pastosa - the best! (even if it is a bit of a trip back to Brooklyn)

Shredded mozzarella for veal or chicken parmigiana is also great
I don't eat hard mozzarella cheese by itself

If you want to eat 'Parmesan' cheese what you want is Parmigiano Reggiano. That's the real thing made in Italy. That's what's served as an appetizer in good Italian restaurants.

Other than those I love cheddar, especially good soft port wine cheddar, Havarti, good blue cheese with honey on a cracker, and too many others to name.

Sharp Cheddar

Mozerella

Monterey Jack

Cheese is a condiment like ketchup. If anyone just eats cheese, they shouldn’t complain if someone just eats ketchup.

Cheese itself if bad for you. It stops you up. Constipation. If you feel you need to stick a piece of dynamite up your butt to shake things loose, quit eating cheese. You aren’t doing yourself any favors.

Well, it's true cheese stop you up...unless you are eating a bunch of fiber with it, its probably the most addicting food out there. I've done my share and lived with my share of Stopped up's.......

Good grief! Cheese would not be considered by anyone else to be a condiment. :doublefacepalm:

Good grief, cheese is NOT a condiment, a bonafide food consumed worldwide...from the dairy industry's bag of other stuff that stops up.

Not me, I don't have any problem with cheese causing constipation . But than I never eat cheese alone. On pizza, Lasagna, Mexican food, so it's melted cheese . Or a little bit of American cheese in a sandwich .;)

We're a cheese household. Mrs Torgo bought this last December.

The melted process most likely saves you, and for American type, it's a processed cheese and in the cheese world, not a high quality, but it's used a lot since it's cheap.

I'm a BIG cheese nut and when I have cheese I love Colby Jack cheese and string cheese and that's my usual go-to cheeses when I have Friday night snacks. My mom is also a cheese nut and she loves Swiss cheese and Muenster cheese and also Colby Jack cheese like me. But my great-grandmother liked sharp cheddar cheese and we always had to buy some when Mom and I would shop at the supermarket on Fridays picking up weekend snacks when my great-grandmother lived with my family for a time

Cheese is good in so many dishes of course besides solo. And at Olive Garden on top of the soup, their grated cheese as Jeopardy masters have started saying: Bring it!
Real slices of cheese, not the processed crap cheese food singles. American is a common cheese I don't care for. Worse than it are pepperjack and pimento, can't stand anything olive related (the food, not the above mentioned restaurant :lol:)
