I have only every tried Brie, but would like to have a cheese-tasting party or something!
they have a really nice havarti with herbs and tomato i think
fresh mozzarella! :)
thanks for the chance to win!
I enjoy a good smoked gouda cheese!
I like most cheeses, except for ones that smell like armpits!
mmmm… love a good parmesan, or baked brie. so many ideas….
Smoked Gouda! Yum
Blueberry cheese is the best.
Love manchego. The folks at Whole Foods are really helpful about pairing cheese with food and/or wine. They will also let you taste it before buying.
Gruyere!
Extra sharp Vermont cheddar! So evil!
I don’t think I could pick just one! I am partial to most sharp cheddars / wisconsin blue / some fetas / goudas… but I guess if I could only have ONE cheese for the rest of my life it would be parmigiano reggiano!
extra sharp Cheddar and Gouda!
Hmmmmm…so many to choose from, but probably plain old mozzarella:)
What cheese don’t I love? I guess my favorite is probably a really, really good extra sharp cheddar.
Goat Cheese!
I love rolled cheese with prociutto! Cream cheese and Parmesan are my favorite…cream cheese with jam and chopped walnuts, cream cheese with jalapenos, melted cream cheese makes a great white sauce too! Shaved Parm on my salad…Cant live without cheese! I cook with it everyday!
I love pepper jack!
pepperjack!!
pecorino romano is one of my favorites!
Brie is my Fav!!
goat cheese
My favorite cheese is Swiss. Not all that fancy, but it just can’t be beat in my book (although pepper jack is close!)
I LOVE muenster cheese but I am starting to explore Irish cheddars and have been enjoying those as well!
I love Gouda cheese (and feta, and brie, and fresh mozzarella :) )
Parmesan!
Gouda is my favorite!!! Great giveaway!
roquetfort blue cheese! <3
My favorite cheese is triple cream brie!
Fresh Mozzarella. Fo’ Sho’. There’s nothing more delicious. I also love very low brow cheese curds. :D
Extra sharp Canadian Cheddar.
Campo del Montabon (sp?) or Drunken Goat!
mozzarella is by far the most delicious and versatile, but a soft dubliner is never turned down!
I love gruyere but am intrigued by a few you talked about that I haven’t tried!
Gouda’s my favorite! (and I am totally saying that like the line in She’s The Man). But really, I loove it and use it when I make my copycat Corner Bakery Chicken Pomodori paninis (:
Gouda all the way!!!!
I LOVE cheese so this is a really tough question. I guess I’d have to say my favorite is a soft goat cheese with blue veins that add a tartness.
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!!!
Gouda, mozzarella, and a nice brie
Pepper jack
So hard to choose just one…but I do love Gruyere!
It is hard to a pick a favorite cheese but lately I have been LOVING Brie–especially Brie in Croute! YUM!!!! Thanks for the great givaway and a gREAT site!!
I love cheese!! My favorite is Beecher’s Flagship.
Gouda is my ultimate fav! :D Yum-O
I got a cheese board for Christmas, so this post was full of great information. I agree, Whole Foods does have an awesome cheese selection. I love cheese!!!
extra sharp cheddar cheese… yummmm
muenster…hopefully I am spelling that right haha
I love fresh mozzarella! Its so goooooood! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
Mmm… I really LOVE Tillamook cheddar cheese (and I got my husband addicted to it as well) but I’m always willing to try new kinds!
Pepper jack!
Brie! I could eat Brie and crusty bread for two meals a day!
Does cream cheese count? Yummy
Sharp cheddar, but I love them all!
A good Brie or extra sharp cheddar are my absolute favorites
I absolutely love brie! But muenster is a close second…
I won’t lie–good ol’ Tillamook cheddar is my favorite, but I never turn my nose up at some grueyere or gouda!
Without a doubt, it’s gruyere. I make a killer broccoli and gruyere cheese pie with ingredients sourced from WFM.
Brie, basil havarti, provolone, blue…I love them all!
I recently discovered Boursin at Costco and LOVE it!
Goat cheese
Favorite? It depends on the occasion but Brie warmed with a pepper jelly is pretty delicious!
Hands-down, Havarti! It’s like the mild, smooth, and soft version of swiss! :)
I LOVE provolone!
Fromage d’Affinois. I fell in love with it many years ago in France, and was thrilled when my local grocery store started carrying it. Divine!
Hard to narrow it down but it’s got to be cheddar.
Extra sharp cheddar is my absolute favorite.
Manchego, straight from Spain.
My favorite is any type of goat cheese. Love Whole Foods!
I’ll go for a nice ripe bucheron with some figs and a nice glass of wine. Now, I’m hungry!
I’m waiting for the Whole Foods to open in Boise but it doesn’t really seem like they’re working on it-but I’m going to Portland for a visit so I could use this to grab up some munster and some brie!
Depends on what I’m eating but hard to beat gruyere and baby Swiss :) thanks!
Cheddar is the best. It is the king of all cheese.
i love the good old classics of cheddar, pepperjack, monterey jack- but when you are talking about a cheese plate, i’d go for the brie and gouda.
I loooove boursin. And manchego. Yum!!!
Oh my word, I have to pick ONE!? haha I really love a good mozzarella.
I love me some Brie!
Parmesan. I love it on pasta.
My favorite cheese? That would have to be havarti! delish! I love it on turkey sandwiches too.
sliced havarti!
I LOVE any kind of chevre. The mild, creamy flavor is my favorite.
I don’t have a lot of experience with different cheeses by the block, but I do love Gouda on my favorite sandwich from a local bagel shop.
Burrata. Maybe a little pesto. Possibly some marinated artichoke hearts. Yeah.
Extra sharp cheddar or goat cheese!!
I love cheese, period! But my favorite is probably a nice, sharp cheddar. Thanx guys!
I love cheeses, esp. Dill Havarti. It’s addicting!
I loooove goat cheese!
Fave cheese is actually parmesan…yum. And as a side note, my hubby is Brazilian and awhile ago I found a pao de queijo recipe that was pretty good, but when I read your post, I loved the simplicity of the recipe so I tried it tonight (sorry for the run on sentence…). Anyway, delish and we loved how light and fluffy it turned out! Thanks for sharing, this will be our new stable recipe for pao de queijo!!
Absolutely smoked gouda. It is a vegetarian bacon substitute.
mozarella, feta, goat cheese, cheddar, pepper jack, parmesan
Havarti with dill, mmm…
Thanks for hosting the giveaway and for the cheese plate tips!
Parmesan
I love mild, creamy Brie!
Asiago is my favorite at the moment.
I like all cheese but my daughter’s name is Colby so we enjoy Colby Jack cheese on her account.
I might have to say a soft creamy goat cheese or Feta…. although I do have Gruyere in my fridge at the moment… :P
I love shavings of a really painfullly sharp aged Gouda. Indescribable. :)
I love fresh mozzarella in caprese salad!
Truthfully I’ve never met a cheese I didn’t like, but if forced to name a favorite I’d have to say Colby, and mozzarella, and asiago, and cheddar, and brie, and… the power of cheese!
We have cheese in our meals as often as possible but for a straight cheese and crackers cheese I like a one I can only get at Whole Foods. It’s name escapes me now but it is an English cheese that has a creamy texture with herbs in the cheese. Oh is it good.
Gouda!
A good fresh mozzarella melts in the mouth! mmmmm!! My hubby would differ with me though and say bleu cheese all the way .. yuck!
I’m in the goat cheese camp! (But then again I detest blue cheeses!)
Smoked Gouda.. yum and I too like that store.
let just say what cheese is not my favorite. there are so many choices. so if i had to pick … i would say “gruyere” … made a mac & cheese once … that was so creamy & good. yum!! a must try for any one. (:
I love goat cheese. LOVE IT
I LOVE CHEESE – smoked gouda and provolone are probably my favorite.
Muenster! Thanks for the chanec to win!

I love goat cheese and Brie on a cheese plate, gruyere for cooking, and muenster on sandwiches. Sorry, that’s more than one favorite.
I love all cheese! But if have to pick one it is goat cheese!! Yummy to eat and fun to cook with!
I love, love, love brie cheese!!!
super sharp cheddar! thanks for the giveaway! :)
I LOVE all the stinky blue cheeses…I could eat them by themselves for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
Favorite? Who could pick just one? Possibly Havartinwith dill.
I love Feta!!
A good strong cheddar:@)
Brie is my favorite!!! I live it with jam and baked in a pastry shell!
Feta, Brie, sharp cheddar love them all really!!
I looove Brie with apricots and pecans.
ooh – gruyere or gouda!
My favorite is stilton!
My favorite cheese is plain cheddar! Thanks for a super giveaway!
Depends on my mood but either brievor feta.
Baked Brie is great but you can’t go wrong with Swiss!
Brie!! But I also like a nice sharp cheddar too. Thanks for the giveaway!
Not much of a cheese-monger but two weeks ago I had the darndest the bestest cheese in my life from a little roadside stand in the middle of no-where. My guess is maybe it was goat cheese since it probably came from their farm. No idea. but wow – I could eat a kilo of it no problem, and so could my kids. And we did. yum.
Really depends on my mood, but I’ll use any excuse to have goat cheese.
Manchego! Love it. Great giveaway! :)
Right now it’s Munster. ;)
mozzarella
Probably sharp cheddar or asiago!
I love most cheeses but soft goat is probably my favorite:-)
It’s hard to pick one but I love Maytag blue right now!! Love whole foods!
Brie!
I would have trouble choosing between smoked gouda and boursin!
I like aged goat cheeses. A local company makes one that tastes similar to bleu cheese, and they call it Humboldt Fog.
I can’t get enough of sharp cheddar paired with apples. It’s worth every penny!
Smoked gouda. or maybe Manchego.
Feta, extra sharp cheddar, parmesan, fresh mozzarella…I LOVE CHEESE!!!
Romano with syrah!
I love muenster, but really I like all of them, except the really stinky ones.
Pepperjack.
Boursin is pretty amazing stuff!
Sharp white cheddar!
I really like gouda. Thanks!
Gouda!!
Geitost: goat cheese from my father’s homeland, Norway
There’s no way I can choose just one! It was hard to even narrow it down to two: gouda and fontina. Yum!
smoked gouda or gorgonzola – can’t pick just one!
Brie is my fave!
My favorite is garroxa cheese it’s Spanish I can only really find it at a whole foods near me.
I love brie!
Definitely Brie! My two year old son and I can never get enough! :)
Goat cheese!!
I love Brie, Gouda, Cheddar…
I LOVE most any kind of cheese but brie and fresh mozzarella can’t be beat!!
Hmmmm…I might have to say goat cheese.
Hmmm…. maybe a sharp cheddar or mozzarella.
I’m a whole food junkie too. My son would like nothing better than to drop by whole foods on the way home from swim practice each night and eat from their hot/ salad bar.
And I love smoked gouda.
I love goat, feta & Gorgonzola and cheddars and would love to try more!
It’s really hard to pick one, but I do love me some goat cheese.
really, I haven’t met a cheese I haven’t liked but I’ll say that my current favorite is a good parmesean. thanks for the giveaway!
mmm… i LOVE cheese, but i’d probably have to say my favorite is fresh mozzarella with fresh tomatoes and basil. yum!
I love a good cheddar.
I’m not picky when it comes to cheese. But I do like a good quality goat or feta, like the kind you get fresh at the Farmer’s Market.
I love me some swiss!
An aged Wisconsin cheddar.
sharp cheddar :-)
I do like some goat cheese.
I love Brie
I love cheese — right now it is Jalsberg….
Brie is my favorite! Yum!
My favorite is a tie between brie and havarti. Whole Foods is my absolute favorite!
string cheese:)
Thanks for the giveaway. I don’t know if I could pick one type of cheese as a favorite. But if I was forced, I would have to say Prodigal Farms Goat Cheese (a local goat dairy here in my town)…their herbed feta is AMAZING!
It’s a tie between provolone and havarti!
Gruyere. I could eat it by the pound!!!
Have you ever had Parano? I had it for the first time from Whole Foods but now they carry it at Wegman’s and Trader Joe’s…soooo yummy!
Im going to have to go with fresh mozzarella – with a little tomato, basil and basalmic vinegar (yum!) or on fresh pasta – my mouth is watering!
Seriously? I have to pick a favorite? I just love cheese. Sharp cheddar is fantastic on crackers. I love melted Swiss on sandwiches. Camembert and Bree are perfect for a light weekend lunch. Feta goes with everything, doesn’t it? And the bag of shredded cheese that says Mexican blend is a must for taco, quesadillas and enchiladas. I’ll stop now…thanks for the great giveaway!
Feta! Or brie. Or fresh mozzarella. Or…well, I pretty much just love cheese.
goat cheese!
I am definitely not a cheese monger,but perhaps I could become one with this gift card! I love plain old cream cheese and sharp cheddar!
More cheeze pleaze! I’d love to win a WF gift card! Thanks for the chance!
5-yr. aged cheddar. Yum. Yum. Yum. Love me some sharp cheese!
Sharp Cheddar….nice and simple
So many cheeses to love! But if forced to pick only one…guess I’d have to be boring and say mild cheddar.
I’ve got to go with a nice sharp cheddar too, great on melts! Please enter me for this great giveaway!
Parm! Love it on just about everything! Thanks for the great idea.
I would love to have the chance to explore different cheese! Mozzarella and cream cheese are a favorite!
Sharp cheddar. yum, yum.
Gruyere
I love throwing cheese parties! My favorite cheese is either smoked gouda or triple cream from the cowgirl creamery… Love cheese! -jennifer
I love swiss cheese.
Drunken Goat. It has the yummy taste of goat cheese, but is on the firm side. Whenever I serve it, I always get asked what it is and am happy to share!
I love Raclette cheese, yum!!
Do I have to have one favorite? Like my children, I love ‘em all!
Fresh Mozzarella takes the cake in my book, but I need to expand I get a lil’ gun shy when it comes to cheese also…P.S. Love Whole Foods it is where I shop for my lil one with Celiac they are truly helpful!
I tried a cranberry cheddar last time I was at Whole Foods and I’m kicking myself for not buying any. It was so delicious and I haven’t stopped thinking about it. I’m calling it my favorite even though I’ve only tried it once. ;)
Aged, white sharp cheddar from Vermont is amazing!!! Hands down my favorite!
Hmmm…I love all cheeses, but my favorite would have to be goat cheese!
Brie with pepper jelly. Yummy!
