Jill Sparrow 10,302 Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Port Salut is awful! Like plastic...the wrapper probably tastes better! Brie and Camembert are among my favourites but they have to be very mature. My father and grandfather were huge gorgonzola fans, especially if it had been injected with a good port and preserved for a few months! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonab 1,644 Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Jill, if you're a mature soft cheese fan, try and get hold of Epoisses. It's a VERY soft cheese that, when good and ripe, will flow off your plate. I think it's available in the UK but get it from a cheese shop or deli counter and cut from a large piece. There are some mini versions which aren't nearly as good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,113 Posted October 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 France claims up to 1000 cheeses but Britain apparently has around 700. They can of course be categorised into types with many having a similar taste but just from a different place. The local moulds/mildews can make a big difference. I knew someone who lived in the Vale of Belvoir who told me that things like bread which were left out became rapidly mouldy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
