      Hi.
      I love Saint Nectaire which is a semi-soft cheese made from raw milk produce in France. But I love to try new type each time I can.
      Your cheese preference is mainly due to where you come from and what type your are use to. When I arrived in England ( I am from France) I didn’t like Cheddar cheese but now that I am used to it I loved it especially the artisan mature cheddar cheese made from raw milk. When cheese is made from raw milk it has a more complex and interesting flavour.

      Hi
      I guess my favourite is a good mature cheddar. I prefer hard cheeses to the softer gooey ones.

      Swiss cheese, obviously – I’m obsessed by bubbles, I’m afraid!

      I love so many cheeses it would seem unfaithful to the cheese world to only name a few. I did try and once cook haloumi in the waterbath at 64 deg C and it was a disaster – it came out as the squeakiest hamoumi ever! -Did you know that the reason that some people don’t like haloumi is the squeaky sound it makes? Apparently if you can get rid of that squeaky sound it would be much more popular. Sound is actually very important in how you perceive flavour. Stale crisps – no sound, so crunch, no perceived freshness. Play the sound of crunching through headphones as you eat stale crisps – suddenly they seem very “fresh”.
