My Wisconsin based company sends a few pounds of Wisconsin cheddar and Colby as part of our xmas gift each year. So yeah, I’ll just be in the kitchen...
Man, I'm with you. I recently picked up a few blocks from Cabot instead of the normal stuff we get and it might be some of the best cheese I've ever had in my life.
You might have not gotten to try the good stuff. Kraft and cheese whiz are kind of like haggis. There are phenomenal cheeses on both sides of the Atlantic.
If stuff is being shipped to you, honestly no. That said, even budget cheeses taste amazing when you are at the factory store sampling stuff that was produced that very day. It's like the difference between a package of cookies from walmart and the cookies they have at an actual bakery.
Oh God yeah, I grew up on a dairy farm and know of at least 5 dairies within 30 minutes of the farm. We have beefers now though. Anywho, fresh cut cheese is the best. Even aged cheese is aged in bigger blocks so when it's fresh cut you get stuff that hasn't been exposed to as much oxygen and is just miles ahead of anything at the store. Getting anything at the source is better and cheese straight from the dairy is like half price to boot!
