Are you a cheese lover? I am and have raised a family of cheese lovers. When my children were young I used to call them rats or mice because they ate so much cheese. Now the cheese loving has entered another generation with my grandchildren.
My cheese preferences are:
#1 Swiss
#2 EXTRA Sharp Cheddar
#3 Blue Cheese (especially crumbles that I sprinkle on my salad or melt on a burger)
#4 Mozzarella
#5 Parmesan
#6 American Cheese (I prefer white over orange)
#7 Ricotta
#8 Cream Cheese
#9 Cottage Cheese
#10 Munster
*** do ricotta, cream and cottage count as real cheese? not sure but I do like them
This is my list of favorites with Swiss being my #1 and descending in order to cheese I will eat but not necessarily my favorites.
Are you a cheese lover? what are your favorite cheeses?

Yes! smoked Gouda is awesome! Cheese was always why I was never vegan all those years. I intend to be back 100% vegetarian sooner than later, but cheese?! Love the stuff.

I don't know how anyone can give up cheese unless of course they are lactose intolerant.

I am a cheese lover and Swiss and Provolone are my favorites with Havarti and Gouda not far behind.

Cheese came into my life pretty late and so I am not much of a cheese eater.

@Shiva49 I do not suppose Indians take to it the way Westerners and others have. I eat it now and use it while making pizza and some other dishes. .

@allknowing The variety of cheese I saw in Amsterdam took my breath away.
I was used to cheese in my younger days but I tend to stay away nowadays.
That rennet is used in the production of most cheeses might have had an impact on me, being a vegetarian - siva

I do love cheese and eat it almost every day in some form. I think my very favorite is a mild cheddar. Jarlsberg is also an awesome cheese, but I don't have it very often.

I like sharp cheddar for snacking but usually prefer swiss for sandwiches and burgers.

I like shredded cheese, parmesan being my favorite shredded. Cream cheese is my total favorite. I do not care for slices.

I love any kind of cheese but found out last october that cheese is not my friend ..... I rarely eat cheese unless it's Parmesan and then I have to be careful not to overdo it.

I could eat cheese several times a day (pepper jack, cheddar, swiss), but sadly, my Triglicerides are way high. So cheese is a once in a while treat.

I am careful about how much cheese I eat too for the same reason. I do indulge occasionally but cheese is always something we have on hand.

I love cheese. Sharp cheddar the most. I have toured the Tillamook cheese factory in Oregon.

We always have cheese on hand but I tend not to eat it too often either. I have to watch my cholesterol

I love cheese but I'm not too crazy about #s 4, 6 and 10. I've never had ricotta so I don't know if I'd like it and I do like #9 now and then, I do believe it is an actual cheese mixed with cream.
Oh chucky darn, I'm really gettin hungry now.
