I'm a long term fan. Blue vein cheese... with a fresh seedless grape on a cracker.... nom.. nom .. nom. There are few taste sensations better than that. There is one.. and that's if you go to the Italian Cheese shop (Paesanella) at Haberfield and try their figorina... I think that's its name.. it is layers of blue vein with masccarpone (i think) and walnuts drizzled in a fig concoction.... all made on the premises.... Oh My God... that place is absolutely sensational. You should also try their salmon thingy which is simply sensational on a slice of sour dough bread drizzled in some virgin olive oil.... You can walk into that shop and walk out $100 poorer.. but so much wealthier for the gastronomic experience that will ensue. Which reminds me... better get back to the gym. :p Hugs stalky

We'll do brie, when we get the chance haha, camembert, jarlsberg (not the square pale bland stuff in the supermarkets) is our fav. Lol, how about smoked oysters n of course those slimy, rich fresh oysters. Taste sensations either way.Thanks, I'm hungry now n can see me resorting to raw eye of the bacon hahahaha...

Try several, tis abit like wine, while you may like red I bet you never liked all reds when you first started lol. if not stick to yr mild genteel bries and enjoy Dev

I know how you feel. How does one know when moudly cheesy is moudly because it is supposed to be or because it has passed it's use by date? I never understood the concept of moudly cheese. I am a camembert girl myself. I recently tried a blue that I like. It is a rather creamy cheese that spreads nicely over a slice of toasted baguette. I quite like it. I think with anything, the trick is to keep trying things until you find one you like. I recommend Castello Blue. Try it like I said over the baguette, but after you lightly toast it, rub the bread with garlic, spread the cheese (blue, camembert or brie) and then put a thin slice of pear or apple on top. The fruit takes the sting out of the garlic. It sounds weird, but its a taste and texture explosion! I love to make it when I am feeling indulgent. Thats my little signature tapas creation.

How about some bocconchini with anchovy, ox heart tomato, rocket and pitted civilian green olives all drizzled in some olive oil served on a virgin's butt cheeks adjacent to a glowing fireplace. Mmmm. Hugs Stalky

I love all of those things especially with a complimenting wine. I might just leave the virgin on the side though to mature a bit. Miss K

How can one go past a nicely matured blue vein. Love it. Got to be my fav cheese of all and I really love my cheeses. Though for those less adventurous types there are some very mild blue infused brie's out there that are worth a try if you just want a hint of the sharpness of the blue or willing to give a blue a try without going overboard on flavour. Mmmmmm now off to the deli.... Kisses Focus

As far as the supermarket blue veins are concerned have you tried the white Castello? It's delicious too! How do you tell if it's crook? Well, once it gets passed its use by date (which rarely happens at my place but sometimes I buy near the use by date to save a few bob) the crust gets pretty crummy and the taste is overwhelming... check the use by date and toss it out....

Lol at not liking mouldy cheese but liking Camembert and Brie. The white stuff on the outside IS mould - just a different colour! (and flavour).

Camembert I loveeeeee Brie I love. Danish fetta I love. Almost all cheeses I love. But the smell of blue vein does smell like bad foot odor. And yes haberfield I'm in that area every day of the week. The look of it the smell. I just can't get my head around eating it. I love my deli food. Come to think of it. I love all wog food. Lebbo, Greek, Italian, German, French, Thai and many many other types of food. I've tried almost everthing. Within reason. But BLUE VEIN Iight just have to stop at that deli in haberfield and give it a go. I also love to cook and have done so for years. Now it's trendy to cook it's the in thing. Just wondering what's next I love all of your responses thank guys. Also it my first forum topic cheers Harry

of a blue goat's cheese? (blue cheese, we're not painting the goat here) If it comes from a cow, it's a no-go cheese for me, but from a goat is fine. Sheep; tolerable.

My favourite is Roquefort - Prince of Cheeses - you can get it here.In France every small town / region has its own variety and they are all different (several hundred overall) - most you can't get here because of import restrictions on non pasteurised cheeses.The Victorian cheese called Gippsland Blue used to be much stronger but the cheesemaker said they changed the recipe because it was too strong for the Australian palate.Just for the record I don't mix my cheese and sex.RegardsMr. SR.
