  • I'll not going to expect everyone to go on an European vacation. It's expensive, and definitely elitist to even suggest.

    But if you like cheese, I really hope that one day you'll visit any European country and enjoy their wonderful cheese culture (each county there has a vastly different cheese culture, and at list for those I've visited they are all amazing)

  • Question, I lived in various European countries and the US, that's why I making said comparison.

    Did you spent significant time outside of the States?

    Because listing some highly specific cheeses that aren't available in any of my local distributors doesn't count.

    In Europe, in any town, from large cities to tiny villages, there's a shit ton of cheeses, from national cheeses to imported cheeses.

  • Meijer has an better cheese section with a few international cheeses and cheaper American counterparts, the American counterparts absolutely suck.

    The main "cheese" area is just blocks of cheeses like those, and grated cheeses with extra cellulose.

    American Cheddar sucks compared to UK Cheddar, don't even taste like the same cheese. And Colby jack is OK.

    There's also the issue that American cheese culture didn't got a chance to mature before corporations took over and started making a handful of mass produced cheap products.

  • Enjoy your large blocks of cheap Cheddar and Colby jack, I do miss real cheese though.

    There's a reason for less cheese variety/quality in the us, milk must be pasteurized for cheese, which limits the cheeses available.

    Non pasteurized cheeses are safe (unlike non pasteurized milk consumption)
