I would willingly get into a windowless white van if you told me there was aged Gouda inside.

For those who didn't get the reference:

Tbh I'm not really a cheese girl. Give me fancy tomatoes. Fancy tomatoes will hold my attention.

Paillot de chévere. Local cheese man got me hooked on it.

Haven’t seen anyone mention this one, so let’s go.

The most fascinating cheese would be Casu Martzu (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casu_martzu). It is illegal to produce and consume pretty much everywhere, including in Sardinia where it is produced and was invented. It is the world most dangerous cheese, and people have died eating it.

The Wikipedia articles goes into how it is produced, but essentially you leave a good old pecorino outside with some rind removed to allow flies to put their eggs in the cheese. The larvae then consume the cheese and ferment it further. You need to eat it while the larvae are still alive, although the larvae can survive your digestive system and grow in our intestine. Traditionally you should eat the maggots, but you don’t have to.

I would never eat it, mind you, but it is definitely fascinating that such a thing exists.

Blue. Always blue

Things happen to me when I get a little Humboldt Fog in my mouth

OP asking the real questions here

"You may fascinate a woman by giving her a piece of cheese."

Brie. It's soft and buttery rich on the inside, with a white moldy rind that tastes kind of fruity on the outside.

It's such a contradiction of flavors that I often lay awake at night, wondering about how does a cheese as facinating as brie could exist.

Boursin. I'll do positively filthy things for that spreadable delight. And pretty much anything for the cheese too ;)

Red Leicester and missionary.

Kraft singles--the same way I am easily fascinated by soap bubbles, the milky way, and amethyst geodes.

Stilton

Stilton and blue cheese but no other cheese. Not even Wensleydale.

Tête de Moine

(not a lady, but I am witness to the fascinating effect of more than one lady)

Pretty much anything from Cowgirl Creamery

Goat cheese and jam!!

I’m not a lady but my wife says Mimolette.

Fresh mozzarella, particularly the kind with truffel oil
