san po ba makakabili ng sharp cheddar cheese? gagamitin ko sana sa baked mac & cheese. ang nakikita ko lang sa supermarket is magnolia or qbb cheddar cheese. pwede ba yun?

Natatakam naman ako sa thread na ito! Ano ba masarap isabay sa grapes?

I've read that grapes go well with fresh and soft cheeses like cream cheese, mascarpone. But i've tried grapes, blueberries and strawberries with other soft cheeses like brie, camembert, etc

yung sharp cheddar pwede ka siguro maghanap sa mga deli di po authentic sharp cheddar yung nasa grocery like magnolia or qbb afaik

Mga sis, I'm just wondering what would be a good cheese for lasagna? I'm here in the US and I don't like the mozzarella for my lasagna, it tasted bland and not creamy like Quickmelt or other cheese/s found in the Philippines. Gusto ko yung lasa ng cheese from Greenwich. Thanks mga sis.

^ try ricotta, parmesan and mozzarella all together you'll get the saltiness of parmesan with the combined texture of mozzarella and ricotta. yum!!

Great thread. I absolutely love cheese. the smellier the better.  I love hard cheeses too though like Tilsit, Raclette, gruyere, and my all time favorite Manchego. Whenever I go to cheesemongers,  I make sure to try something new. My new favorite is the Kokos cheese (cheese with nutty flavor of coconut), which they sell at Santi's. I also buy large blocks of cheddar at S&R, you can freeze them and keep them indefinitely, if you'll shred them for sauces and pasta.

I'm just starting to explore cheese kasi ANG MAHAL ng real cheese dito sa atin. So far I've tried mozzarella ang parmesan, kahit masakit sa bulsa, masarap naman ang good quality. usually hundred grams off a big chunk ang binibili ko. Tried feta and emmental narin when I worked in a pizza company years ago.

Pero mahal talaga ang imported cheese dito sa atin.

sa mahilig sa Queso De Bola, what's the best brand and where can i buy here in Manila?? My mom used to buy QDB before pero i never enjoyed, pero a lot have been telling me na masarap daw ang QDB.. kaya i want to know a tried and tested brand of QDB.

Ang pinaka fave ko cheese is blue cheese mas mabaho mas masarap hehe

[Prunella]

I love stinky cheeses like Muenster, Gorgonzola, Roquefort, Limburger, etc... 

My newest fave is Cambozola. It's a mix of Gorgonzola and french cream cheese. Heavenly!

I like gruyere and fontina cheese. Gouda is too creamy but I like it din. My go to is fresh mozzarella and parmigiana-reggiano

[little_princess]

where ca you buy parmigiana-reggiano locally? bee lookig for one and haven't been lucky

[hunny_ally]

^none in Santi's? I usually buy this from the deli counters of Shopwise, Rustan's and even in Robinson's (Eastwood). In Robinson's the brand they carry is Jed/Jedco.

I usually buy my parmesan shredded at S&R. I keep a small bottle on the fridge and freeze the rest.

If you have relatives in Canada, best to ask Imperial Cheese!

[cynth_pink00]

Local cheese that I love is Mr Moo's Goat Feta Cheese. It has the right saltiness. Best with salad or just plain crackers.

hunny_ally, i haven't checked rustan's but there is one near our place and will see. thanks!

sis sa pizza company ba pinagworkan mo before, did they use emmental cheese? Thanks.

[andee how?]

Yes, they use emmental sa 4-Cheese pizza nila. Emmental, Feta, Mozza, & Parmesan yata or Gouda.
