Each cheese has a beautifully unique flavour, texture and purpose. There are fancy cheeses like feta or camembert that you buy in smaller rounds for special occasions, but then there is your stock standard cheese which reserves a permanent spot in your fridge. But even then, there is a selection of flavours to choose from which look almost identical but are surprisingly different.
Here is your all-inclusive guide to cheese which will ensure that your shopping trips have far less confusion
Edam
This flavour is significantly less fatty than its alternatives, so it is an excellent choice for those watching their cheese intakes. Its taste is a bit dulled with a slight nutty tinge, making for a satisfying snack.
Edam pairs best with more vibrant and sweet flavours is its subtle savoury notes can be highly complementary. This makes it a great dessert cheese or a partner for fruits.
Tasty
Here is a much stronger flavour of cheese! This savoury cheese is an aged version of the classic cheddar and has a distinctly crumbly texture. It has a definite tang to it, so less is more when it comes to this selection.
Tasty is great for creating any sort of cheese sauce to add an extra punch to a meal. It’s gutsy and sharp flavour can liven up any dish.
Colby
Another cheese for the health conscious, as this selection is particularly low in sugar. Colby is easy to cut and melt as it has a very soft and almost squishy texture to it. Its flavour is almost sweet, so it is not super overpowering in different dishes.
Because this cheese is so good at melting, it is probably your best choice when it comes to cooking. Macaroni Cheeses wouldn’t be the staple it is without Colby cheese.
Mild
Mild is a subtle cheese but one not to be forgotten about. This flavour is known for being fresh and nutty without any extra bite, making it a popular choice for children or those with weaker pallets. Being so subtle it fits well in recipes which require less of a cheese injection and more of a cheese accompaniment.
Another handy thing about this section is that it is super easy to slice, making it a go-to for sandwiches or quick snacks.
