Cheese, Glorious Cheese

I live in Oregon, there is ALWAYS a 2lb block of Tillamook cheddar in my fridge.  My husband and I went to the factory once, I was in heaven!  I'm also a fan of the Dubliner white cheddar.  One of the hardest things to give up on Weight Watchers for me has been cheese.  Give me some cheese and french bread and I'm happy for life.  I'm certain I could live on just those 2 items. 

Since on Weight Watchers I've been hunting for cheeses that don't kill me point-wise but still taste good.  Cabot has a 75% reduced fat cheese that's pretty good, both in white and orange cheddar.  I prefer the white, but it's hard to find.

I live in Plano, TX and I can get Tillamook cheese at Walmart.  When it first came to this market, it was the cheapest cheese they carried.  (The heaven)  I know I've converted at least a dozen people by serving it at parties.  I pretty much love all cheeses except Blue.  My 2-year-old seems to be the same.  She's quite adventurous with cheeses.  I think she'd eat grated parmesan with a spoon if we let her.

If you have a Trader Joe's near you, they have a product called Lite Celtic Cheddar that I like. The texture is pretty good and a really nice strong cheddar flavor, much more UK cheddar than US and is white. An ounce is 70 calories and 4gs of fat.  I think the Cabot which I also buy and it's lower in calories and only 2.5g fat but I like the stronger flavor of the Celtic Cheddar.

Trader Joe's also has a product they call an Unexpected Cheddar that tastes like a strong cheddar with a little parmesean.  It is not a smooth texture, much more crumbly but has a really great flavor. It's much higher in fat and calories but I find I use less because of the strong flavor if cooking.

So many cheeses, so little time.

DH loves the Hopyard Cheddar made by Rogue Creamery, it has hop clusters in the cheese.

I can take a little of it, but not very much. I have enjoyed every other cheese I have tried, particularly very sharp and aged Cheddars with crystals.

Cabot varieties are wonderful and they've been available in NYC for the last few years.  We always have a bar on hand. 

MIL still refuses to believe that the cheese can be found outside of New England and tries to push pounds of it on us when we visit.

Cabot is awesome, particularly their aged varieties.

Seaside cheddar is a favorite.

When I visited my sister in Springfield, we went to an Amish grocery store that was not far away.  They had a green onion cheese that was to die for.  I can't find anything like it anywhere else.  Next time I go to see her, I'm stocking up as best I can.
