Not near as dry as parm or sharp as parm or feta. Texture just a bit dryer than say a Jarlsberg swiss. Kind of a combination of a dry swiss crossed with a fontina with smoky notes.
No not like feta at all, but sure a bit like parm, in some regards, and depending on how long it's aged, I got "over 1 year" today, super sharp, a tad salty and nutty, it's semi-hard which means it can still be sliced, and it melts great, parm, really has to be grated and is not a good melter. Parm also is a bit harsh while this remains smooth (even though it's sharp if that makes sense).
Yep, that's the stuff. I like it. I must say, for living fourty miles past BFE, we are fortunate with the cheese dept.
This guy gets cheese from all over the world. We often try stuff that just looks interesting. That deli Provolone is really quite bad.
I haven't had it in decades, because there's nothing there. Ok meltability tho, but yuk.
THP is right on. I think the sharpier parms are done that way so they stand up to many of the Italian type snausage's when eaten together. Especially the more peppery and capicola types and the saltier proscuitto's.
I like feta well enough but it doesn't really yank my chain as does say an artisan style goat cheese.
+1 TB.
CJ likes the Feta, so we always have it. Any artisan cheese will do me right, except when it's in a ball and coated with nuts.
If I had to live on a desert island, and could only take one cheese with me, it would have to be Cambazola.
Yesterday I ate some homemade burgers, so I thought let's make a photo for this thread too share. I can tell you, it was damn tasty Also the lettuce from my own garden made it taste even better!
Oh yeah? But does Cotswold have an entire cookbook dedicated to it?
Has anyone done Velveeta on a burger? If I wasn't too unsober to drive
to the store on this holiday weekend evening, I'd have to make a Velveeta
burger tonight. I wonder if it will sound too unappealing tomorrow...
Velveeta has its uses i.e. queso and similiar to american processed but not quite the same. You might try it on a burger but I certainly wouldn't use it on say...a pizza.
Cotswold I would eat on a burger or with some finger foods like cold cuts or just plain with beer. I'd never do that with Velveeta.
