Your cheese rating is: Gorgonzola
Gorgonzola is a semi-soft blue cheese made in the village of the same name in Northern Italy. The cheese is yellow/white with green/blue penicillin mould marbling giving a sharp, spicy flavour.

My favourite cheese too!

    Your cheese rating is: Limburger



    A traditional soft cheese, originating in Belgium. Limburger has a red/brown rind with corrugated edges, and a creamy yellowish body. It tastes almost meaty, and has a legendary aroma due to enzymes breaking down proteins on the surface of the cheese.

    Never heard of it and it sounds pretty horrible to.

    my cheese is stilton


    Stilton

    The King of cheeses. Stilton is a rich, tangy cheese with blue/grey marbled mould veins running throughout, and a dry, crusty, inedible rind. Daniel Defoe mentioned Stilton as "a town famous for its cheeses" in 1727. It is milder than is continental counterparts, Roquefort and Gorgonzola, and is famed as a dessert cheese, best served with Port.


    and i hate it

    I'm a non-cheese person, but my cheese rating is Danablu.

    Danablu (Danish Blue) is unsurprisingly a blue cheese from Denmark. It was invented in the early 20th century by Marius Boel. It has a sharp, almost metallic taste, and feels creamy in the mouth. It has a gritty, salty, blue/black rind. Danablu is also known as Marmora.

    It depends. I'm a sharp cheddar.

    This has to be the work of some British cheesemakers (blessed are they) who are trying to drum up some business. I mean, determining your cheese factor based on your name and not your personality? So here are my results:

    Wensleydale

    A traditional hard cheese, whose ancestry can be traced back at least as far as the Cistercian monks who came to England with William the Conqueror. It has a moist, crumbly texture, and comes in two main variants, blue and white. Blue Wensleydale has blue veins, double cream, and is similar to Stilton. White Wensleydale comes in a flat disc, with a honey flavour.

    Sorry, but I haven't heard of Wensleydale, and I certainly don't have such a pure pedigree. I'm an American, a blend of cheeses from all over Europe! In short, I have seen the Velveeta, and it is me!

    Heh, never tried this....;)

    Gouda - a traditional Dutch hard cheese.

    Must be an accurate reflection of me - there's at least two gratuitous innuendos in there ;)

    And HB, for shame; you've never heard of Wensleydale?!?!

    Bleasdale (sounds like a sheep town)

    A marbled cheddar, made by mixing plain and annatto coloured curds. It is slightly softer than traditional cheddar.

    One of the great sketches in the history of comedy; Palin's character was, in fact, named Mr. Wensleydale...

    CLEESE: Not much of a cheese shop, really, is it?

    PALIN: Finest in the district, sir.

    CLEESE: How is that?

    PALIN: It's so clean.

    CLEESE: Well...it's certainly uncontaminated by cheese.

    B-)

    Perhaps 6 to 12 months in a sheepskin bag will mature you too Loeffs. :v :))

    Here's my results:

    Your cheese rating is: Double Gloucester

    A traditional unpasteurized cheese, made in Gloucestershire since the middle ages. Double Gloucester is a firm, full cream cheese, made with the milk from two milking sessions, hence the name. It has a hard rind, and a rich, buttery taste, and a pale orange colour.

    I think I know you all intimately now... :))

    Neufchatel...

    A traditional soft, white table cheese from Normandy in France. Neufchâtel smells and tastes of mushrooms. It has a dry, velvety rind, and a grainy texture. When mature, Neufchâtel develops a bitter, slaty, acrid taste.

    I'm not exactly sure that there is anything there necessarily worth putting on my resume'

    Your cheese rating is: Gouda



    Gouda is a traditional hard cheese, named after the Dutch town of the same name.

    I think Gouda is alright. Personally, I love most cheeses.

    Good choice. I went to High School in Gouda! Always loved their cheese!
