Mozarella and Boccocini are a staple. Camembert and gorgonzola are good. Like EB oodles of parmesan on the pasta.

Always wanted to try the maggot matured cheese from Sardinia but haven't got there yet.

I returned from Paris 2 months ago with 5 kgs of cheese and on the last few hundred grams now which may be good for my waistline!

what about some nice casu marzu??

If you're considering a visit to Sardinia, Italy, why not take some time to enjoy the local cuisine? For those true culinary adventurers, casu marzu might be just the thing to sate your salivary glands. The phrase casu marzu, which means "rotten cheese" in Sardinian, gets its unique texture and flavor from the live maggots living within its cheesy walls. The larvae, which are intentionally introduced to the cheese, break down fats in the cheese through an advanced level of digestive fermentation. Through this process, the texture of the cheese becomes very soft, sometimes even liquidy. Before consumption, some people choose to clear the cheese of larvae; others do not. Protective eye gear is advised for those who choose to consume both cheese and maggots as one. The larvae have been to know to jump up up to 6 inches in the air when disturbed.

If one does plan on removing the larvae from the cheese before consumption, one must ensure that the maggots are still alive. Dead maggots indicates that the cheese has decomposed to a toxic state. Other dangers associated with Casu Marzu include allergic reactions and risk of intestinal larval infection. It is possible for live larvae to pass through the stomach and take up residence in the intestines. If this happens, the larvae can cause serious lesions as they attempt to bore through the intestinal walls.

Because of the dangers associated with this cheese, it is considered an illegal, Black Market product in Italy.

Not a cheese fan so normally go for mexicana cheese (cheddar with chillis in it) or Le Roule (herb cream and garlic cheese).. or even something smoked. All at room temperature, hate eating cheese straight from the fridge..

If i'm stuck I can do Brie and Camembert etc. but it's a complete no go with Stilton + etc.. the smellier the cheese the worse it tastes in my case..

Cheddar cheese toasties are a must or even "the ultimate cheese on toast" (add Lee and Perrins). Pizzas, mozarella, parmesan, nacho cheese etc are fine. Not a fan of goats cheese but they put it on half the dishes in work so kind of used to it..

tried that long time ago and have to say it was really yummy.. even tho I didnt see any larvae jumping.

if im not rong the larvae are introduced along some olive oil in the center part of the cheese and from there they spread all over creating a very busy net of micro tunnels. the taste its slightly bitter and kind of..sparkling..

:shock:

Not even as complicated as that; on the very few Sardinian farms that produce this...eh...delicacy... they simply allow the flies to lay their eggs on the cheese, then the larvae hatch.

So, no jumping larvae then?? No strange wriggly feelings in your gut since either??? :lol:

mhhh..not that i remember! 8)

*not sure of the spelling

Ants eggs...mhh Yummy too! :lol:
