Hi All,
I do like to try different foods & cheese is no exception, always willing to try new ones i look around work of course while doing the job.
Some cheeses are advertised a full flavour/seriously strong etc & there is a grading system 1-5 5 being the strongest i've tried a lot of them the higher numbered ones usually come on a 2-3 of my scale.
But this all changed this weekend when i purchased some Little Black Bomber from the Snowdonia cheese company in 200g truckles ....... wow to say the least very full flavoured if you like cheese strong so it bites this is for you (http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs8/i/2005/362/6/3/_ilovecheese__by_Edme.gif)
Not the most economical of cheeses but for a one off or with Christmas around the corner why not treat yourself. :D my mission over 2013 is to try all but the one with chilli & the one with cranberries as i'm not allowed Cranberries for more details go to the online store here & stockists to your area.

Probably doesn't rate very high on your scale but in my opinion you can't beat Kraft Crackerbarrel - flavoursome cheese without your cheeks meeting in the middle :food:
Paul
Crackerbarrel has Flavour Paul but very mild compared to this one all a matter of personel taste though.
I'm not a fan of strong tasting cheese.
But living down here I do like Cornish Yarg. And.....you get to eat the dried nettles that cover the edge !
Im a big fan of cheese's, I like the one with cranberries in, but also the one with apricot (other company), tried last year around christmas (who'd have thought it) strongest I had was an irish one very recently, cant remember the name but had a damn good kick in it ;D

I really enjoy the one with apricots in it broken up and scattered round a salad accompanied with an excellent hand made pork pie bought from the farmers market, not a cheap meal but a very memorable one :food:
cheers John.

Sounds very good indeed, being a vegetarian I cant have pork pies though haha,
Tried Black Bomber from local farm shop (if 20 miles away is Local that is), your right Upnick it's not cheap but it does have a terrific taste.
If you come across it it's well worth sampling.

Cheddar with attitude, I like it.
A couple of outlets in Aberdeen, both of which are pubs - great excuse!

You really need to try this cheese Matthew-Peter, i'm sure if your a vegetarian you could find something else to accompany it instead of the pork pie :claphappy:

MMMM something else i love Stilton although i tend not to buy it now as i was told to eat it in moderation after my ticker Aortic vavle replacement operation ...... you see i can make a pig of miself with it mind if i remember right the stilton with Apricots doesnt contain the mould blue stilton does so i might be ok :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:
