    I'm a fellow Frenchman and I leave just around Paris, so I have the chance to be able to buy all these wonderful Cheeses (Because there's also an awesome Cheese shop right next to my place), and I have to admit that my American friends would go CRAZY for it! 😁😁
    I've spent a lot of time in Florida for vacations on multiple occasions and I can tell you guys for sure that sadly, there aren't such tremendous cheeses like these over there.
    Still, I was able to find some pretty decent Italian cheeses there.
    But if like me, you're a "Cheese lover", you guys definitely need to plan a trip to France! And remember once there to ONLY buy from specialized Cheese shops and absolutely NOT from Supermarkets! This is mandatory if you want to experience THE genuine French' cheese experience! 😉😉

    I find the creativity, complexity, and variety in cheese to be remarkably beautiful, like an art. That being said, I follow a plant-based diet so I don’t partake myself, but I can still appreciate the beauty of cheese.

    That cheese board would be my dad’s dream. He absolutely loves cheese! If he could, he would just eat good bread with some butter and cheese (with some good wine, of course). He’s still very slim, though. And he speaks French... He’s not French, though.

    I went to France last summer and I ate Comte for the very first time and I was amazed but then I went and visited the tunels where they make the roquefort cheese and tased it for the very first time and boy was I in love. I brough home half a killo of chese that was ate not two weeks later. And nothing comes close to roquefort so take that gorgonzolla and place it on the cheese board because it is indeed delicious but it is not roquefort.

  • @gregorysember2164
    @gregorysember2164 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Just gotta say. I really appreciate you mentioning US cheese too. Most people in the US don't know what good cheese we have that's local. Also I'm from Wisconsin and had some Gran Queso a few weeks ago. Thanks a ton Alex!

    • @revylokesh1783
      @revylokesh1783 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah. For a country as big as the US, there's bound to be a region that specializes in diary products. So you've got Wisconsin. And since the love for good cheese is universal, there *_must_* be some small local producers of high-quality cheese. The difficulty is just finding the right ones.

    I've become rather fond of adding mustard as a side. I know it's normally more of a charcuterie thing, but with the right cheese, it can be quite a lovely pairing, especially a Dijon.

    My older sister had a french exchange student and since i was at a very young age at that time i wasn't realy able to communicate with her, due to a lack of language knowledge. But I pretty well remember how exited Delphine was when she found some cheeses she knew and convienced us to try them, Comte was one of them. That's clearly when my cheese-addiction started :-) Since then i tried cheeses from all over the world and the sheer range of tastes is incredible. Mercie, for enrichen my knowledge again.

    But I would have two questions for the French expert:
    1.) which order would you suggest for tasting the cheeses?
    2.) which wine would you recommend to go with the different cheeses? (White, red, region,...)
    Thx in advance for your comments.

    • @aR0ttenBANANA
      @aR0ttenBANANA 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Actually Mexico had one of the best cheeses in the wolrd this year called Flor de queso. Also, Manchego and Oaxaca are probably the most known mexican cheeses and they're very good but also very fresh so it's not really strong. Anyways, cheese is beautiful no matter where it's from as long as it's properly made.

    J'adore Comté ❤️ The only cheese of this type that I prefer is Beaufort. Comté is easy to find where I live in Devon, UK but Beaufort is much harder to get. I recently visited family in The Cotswolds and there was a French market of all things in the market place with a wonderfully knowledgeable French lady selling a massive range of incredible French cheeses. She had Beaufort, of course, and I got the biggest piece I could afford!

    • @zepoubelle

    Anyway, about french cheeses, being a french speaking swiss bloke, I really like Roquefort and you, the french have plenty of amazing cheeses throughout your beautiful and vast country, no need to steal our swiss cheese, monsieur! Sorry, I had to add the punt! I'm really passionate about all cheeses and the amazing thing about cheese is that every country in the world must have amazing cheeses to be discovered! :)

      mugensamurai I have found that people who treat high calorie foods (cheese, chocolate, desserts, alcohols like wine or beer, cured meats, etc) as an experience and indulgence instead of having the cheaper ones comsumes less, less often, and enjoy them more on the whole. Thus, it's often slim/fit people geeking out over food.

      lactose gets transformed in the cheese-making process; you should be able to have most of these, actually. Or there's always lactase pills.

      Olivier Pernet My pal, I tried to eat cheese a few days ago and BBOOOYYYY my stomach and skin absolutely hated me. But maybe it's because the cheese was a type of Mexican cheese that's 'fresh' I need me some lactose pills.

    found Epoises cheese in Pikes Place Seattle, the meat and cheese market had almost all the cheeses from this video. Epoises I found out to be.... "fragrant" to say the least😂

      I like to say that Eppoisses is so delicious that it becomes embarrassing when pushed to select a favorite. One would perhaps enjoy announcing something obscure or individual, but we all love the Eppoisses most.

      As a frenchman, I'd say there's about 35-40 euros of cheese, there.

      In Paris, it's closer to $50 to $55 I would say, just for the cheeses.

    yum. I have a question maybe you can help me with? I really like morbier cheese but it's really hard to find here in Oregon. Do you know any types of cheese that taste close to that?

    • @sony3002
      @sony3002 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I don't know if you will find it in the US, but fontina an italian cheese is quite similar to morbier.
