I went a bit mad on cheeses last week, and bought one of just about every variety they had in Aldi. It was all great. Cheese is hard to get wrong. I don't understand the logic of people buying branded cheese unless it's a unique variety.
The thing with cheese, however, is it very much depends on the context- You don't go putting extra mature cheddar on pizza, or on top of your pasta. I mean you can, but there's a reason things like mozzarella and parmesan exist for those jobs. A very sharp cheddar like the one I bought last week, and I mean this was so ripe it had little crystals of salt you could taste throughout, is that it's really for enjoying alone, or at the most with a little plate of crackers and tapas meats. It was delicious but would I say it's the best form of cheddar? No, it's absolutely delivious but not at all a versatile cheese.
If I was going to have one all purpose cheese in my fridge it would be a bog standard medium cheddar. But there is no such thing as an all purpose cheese. I don't think I could get by with less than three types of cheese. I've always got some cheddar, some grated parmesan, a bit of red Leicester, and often a bit of brie.
