Whole Foods has my favorite cheeses. The truffle Gouda, St. Nuage triple crème soft cheese, and the Seaside rugged English cheddar are my 3 favorites!

Wegmans has a great selection.

I love Comte, Cambozola, their goat cheese with cranberry, etc.

I would want Humboldt Fog and comte on my cheeseboard. Maybe a Caprice des Dieux, if you can get it.

Hmm. This is just false (and snobby). I am from Wisconsin and I know my cheese, and TJ has some great ones for great prices. Whole Foods is a ripoff.

Am I the only person who doesn’t care for cheese? I remove most of the cheese from a slice of pizza. Obviously, just my opinion.

At TJ's I have a few favorites. You have to try the Le Delice De Bourgogne on the fig raisin crackers. It sounds weird but it's SO GOOD. That cheese is incredible, if you like a soft creamy cheese like brie. It's got more flavor than brie though.

I also include the smoked gouda a lot. It's very creamy and has a delightful flavor. People always rave and ask what it is. It tastes way smoother than other smoked cheese I've tried.

Unexpected cheddar is fantastic too. Pair with a sweet topper (like fig jam) or a spicy honey. Delicious!

TJs is the best for an excellent cheese selection and price point.

TJ’s is decent. For something special, I do prefer splurging on Humboldt fog and others.

And at one point, the Costco in DC had some really nice cheeses. I haven’t seen them there lately.

Also the cheesemonger at Eastern Market. They have some really good stuff.

Yes, you are the only poster who doesn´t like cheese who decided to post on a thread about what cheeses you like to eat.

Real connoisseurs find it low class, but I love me some Boursin. Generally, I try to do a minimum of three types with different animal milk sources and textures. Like a hard cow’s milk, medium firmness sheep’s milk and soft goat’s milk, for example.

Agree with TJs Unexpected Cheddar. They have a fantastic 1000 day old Gouda now for the holidays.

Whole Foods sells Humbold Fog which l like and is pretty fir a board.

Triple Cream and blue cheese from anywhere are usually a hit as well

Yes you’re the only one. Other cheese haters have reasonably decided this is not the thread for them.

Triple crème
Stilton
Aged white cheddar
One of those old fashioned cheese balls-the ones covered in thin sliced almonds
