Too many to list. I particularly like chèvre frais, Greyerzer
(Gruyère), Manchego, Munster, Epoisse, Roquefort, and Bulgarian feta.

Depend on what I am going to use it for.
To eat as it is (with crackers etc) I would have to say danish
"pikant-ost" it is a soft cheese with dill, paprika and some other
herb in it. It is really nice.

Being pregnant I am not allowed to eat Brie or camembert which is
cheeses I normally love.

I'm not Erika, but pregnant women these days are being
advised against eating unpasteurized/unripened/fresh
cheeses due to the possibility of Listeria contamination
which can be harmful to a developing fetus.

You are not allowed any unpasturized products because the
microbactieras can cause deformation of the featus. It is what all
ahnd books and my midwife says so I am not going to gamble.

My one, ATM is Castelmagno.
Wonderful old mountain cheese, with a firmness and texture like a parmesan,
but a little bit less moisty. It's tasty, a lot, and smells deeply like any
old cheese (don't know hon long this, got to ask) wonderful to grate over
pasta. Tasty, yes, but not hot, just tasty!
A pasta dish I like muche is "cacio e pepe".
Cook pasta, strain and put in dish with half a nut of butter per dish, add
grated parmesan as you would do if you were to add only this. Then add
grated castelmagno (could also be any long seasoned cheese) as many as the
parmesan.
Then add freshly ground black or/and white pepper, a lot.
Too easy to believe, too good to taste.

Plain old "rat trap" cheese. I sit with a potato peeler and whittle it off
in very thin slices and eat it that way. :o)

The one we eat most often around this house is old cheddar. Parmesan (the
real stuff) is a cooking staple. We also use a lot of feta, chevre, brie,
Danish blue and Roquefort, Camembert and Oka. I suppose I could come up
with a lot of exotic cheeses to add to the list, but this is the stuff that
we eat a lot of, so I guess that would qualify them as favourites.

Bad Mark! BAD! (But funny)

As Gloria pointed out earlier, listeria infections (which can be
caused by orally ingesting the bacillus) are generally thought to be
enough of a hazard to the fetus these days that possible sources of
infection such as soft cheeses are proscribed for pregnant women.

D likes Morbier, too, and she actively dislikes blue cheese. The vein
of gray blue in the center of the cheese is ash, I believe.

Yes, but sometimes I can't find it labeled that way. I think it has another
name as well that I don't know about. It's hard, sort of oily cheese (it
"weeps" if you leave it out). Does anyone know what else it might be called?

As a kid, I used to get the grated Kraft parmesan cheese and eat it by the
mouth full (but only when the parents were gone, and not too much).

I also LOVE smoked cheese (don't know what kind it started out as though).

lol, I saw that but woulnt it be boring if we were all the same.. I was
making Brinza for the first time and could not find the Manouri cheese I
needed , the recipe stated bulgarian feta could be substituted so thats what
I bought. It tasted like a vacuum cleaner bag smells. ;-) Needless to say
I went on a further search for the Manouri cheese.

Overall: Saint-André or raw milk Oka at room temp.

For daily consumption: 2-year old Balderson's cheddar.
