Oh man, that is a terrible site!

Gorgonzola please. Lots of it.

Also, food cooked with Gorgonzola. When I was in Italy I had a spinach gnocchi dish that had Gorgonzola cream sauce and shaved sweet potatoes on top. It was, without a doubt, the best thing I'd ever eaten in my entire life.

If you're planning on being in Bologna, the place is called Trebbia.

Heyyy Rugs! Good to see you on another forum!

Now stop stalking me!

Smoked Provlone. I don't get it often though, between the cost and the rate I would consume it surely I would be in the poor house soon.

I see a lot of people loving Gouda cheese, sorry to tell you but most Goudse kaas (what you'd call gouda) is the stuff that we don't even eat locally. But thats probably true for most cheeses that countries export.

Me, I love my cheese young. My favorite (when in season) is graskaas (grascheese) called so because it's so young, mild and soft that it's as close to grass as you can eat without just drinking milk.

I'm a fan of a good Goat's or Sheeps Feta as well though.

Any blue chees for me.

To me eating young Gouda is as close as you can get to eating plastic without a health warning.

Blue Cheese smeels like sweaty feet to me. bleh

I'm also a fan of all cheese, particularly bleu cheese! Sometimes we'll pick up various cured meats and cheeses at the local market here and have a giant antipasto dinner and it's splendid.

I had one of the best meals in Barcelona. We picked up some figs and tomatoes from La Boqueria, a bottle of Navarra wine, and some goat's milk cheese, chorizo and fresh bread from a smaller outdoor market. Brought it back to our rental apartment and set it up. Rub the tomato on a piece of bread, then top with the chorizo, cheese and fig slice. I have no idea what type of cheese it was other than it was made with goat's milk, but it was amazingly delicious:
