Strongest cheese!

I have been set the task of asking you fine people what the strongest cheddar cheese that can be found in most supermarkets is?

Apparently a few of these so called " extra mature" ones are total failures, their not crumbly(really mature cheese is I have been informed) and their NOT THAT MATURE/STRONG TASTING!!

I don't like strong cheeses so I am of no help but If we, together, AS A SUPER TEAM, do not come up with an answer soon I will pay the price! :frown:

So yeah if your an experienced cheeseonaire(made that up...) please provide your input on some seriously mature crumbly cheddar cheeses! :biggrin:

Well you won't find it in any supermarkets, but I've heard that casu marzu can knock out a fully-grown man.

Stilton is a pretty strong/accessible cheese.

My advice (providing you're over 18), is to go to some cheese & wine nights to taste what is out there. :yy:

Fair call, we are and rightfully should be; ashamed. :colondollar:

You're not going to find one in the supermarket, probably. As I said before, have a look at some cheese and wine evenings and you might find some winners (most focus more on the wine, so don't book cheap).

oh gosh sorry! :frown:

The BIG LOOOK! doesn't mean "omg please can you read properly next time"

it was to get your attention so you'd read the bit underneath, which says I forgot I meant strong cheddar not just a strong type of cheese.

awwww :o:

(HUGS)..where's my hug emote! :yep:

I really like Canadian Extra Mature. It's the strongest that i've found on the shelf, but perhaps you could go to the cheese part of Tesco's and try a few, then buy the one you like the least?

Might find one in a village shop or some specialist place (don't know any at the moment).

Look for a Cheddar that has been aged for 18-24 months. It will be strong.

Ew. I saw this on The F Word. Apparently you can get really ill from it, as a lot of the larvae can survive stomach acid and cause lacerations in your digestive system. Gross.

I'm sardinian and I can tell you that I've never heard of someone who's been ill eating casu marzu...probably it's a bit hard to digest but nothing more...
