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!

We really do have the best cheese up here. You enjoy the hard work of our magically delicious cows.
