I get mine from Marco Alimentari - online and it's pretty damn good. Way better than what passes for cheese in the supermarkets.
Google will find them - they do great Black Pudding and Chorizo as well.

Livarot, Saint-Nectaire, Vacherin Mont d'Or, and Tête de Moine.

I should probably have mentioned Gruyère as well.
Together with Vacherin Mont d'Or, and Tête de Moine, they make up the holy trinity of cheeses.
Vacherin Mont d'Or is probably the best out of those though. Get a bottle of Montrachet or three, some spoons and some close friends...

Dutch cheese of course!
(ok, ok, Stilton is a guilty pleasure)

I do like the occasional black Edam and we tucked into quite a lot of Old Amsterdam while we were visiting A'dam. I think we visited every Henri Willig shop

The problem with Dutch cheese and my taste is that the cheeses tend to be extremely salty.
It was bad enough 30 years ago, at a time when I had Dutch by-marriage relatives, so we frequently had Dutch cheese on the table. Since then I have - for health reasons - almost completely eliminated the use of salt in my own cooking. The result is that lots of factory made food tastes nothing but salt. This includes all the Dutch cheese I have tasted for the last 20 years. I used to like Dutch cheese, though, before I reduced my intake of salt and my taste changed.

I do like a good Brie de Meaux or Stinking Bishop - especially if allowed to ooze for several hours.
Recent discovery is Montagnolo D'Affine which is also rather nice
But I guess Comte is my favourite - but only if aged to the limits .. 24 months minimum although I've been lucky enough to come across some aged for 48 months. The stuff in supermarkets is so young it's too sweet

Haven't heard about Stinking Bishop before, but since it's mentioned in such a company, I just have to try it I believe.

Finlandia Swiss, thin sliced, on almost anything.
Dubliner Irish cheese is nice
Mexican blend shredded cheese (Monterey jack, cheddar, Asadero) for my tacos, nachos, enchiladas, and burritos. I also add it to my scrambled eggs.
I love blue cheese salad dressing. Freshly made if I can.
I try to stay away from the processed cheeses that are rampant in America.

Blue Haze is a smoked blue cheese made in Quebec. It's hard to find because it's a lot like bacon!

My favourite cheese is good, old-fashioned, Lancashire cheese. It's a tasty and crumbly "hard" cheese - not like those weird, squishy French cheeses that are so fashionable these days with pretentious people.
Unfortunately it is almost unobtainable here in the US where their idea of cheese is something yellow, vaguely generic cheese flavoured (flavored) and often comes in a spray can! Ugh!

Is this a trick question ?
I like pretty much all of them.

Then you cannot have tried Harzer Käse – Wikipedia[^]
It has been mentioned by French prisoners of war as a cruel and unusual punishment.

Here in St. Louis, Missouri, the local choice is Provel. Locals call it a cheese, but technically its a cheese product. They put it on the pizza here. I argue its an acquired taste and don't prefer it.

Sharp or even Extra sharp cheddar.

I'm partial to 'Murican cheese on my burger.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Cheeses are living creatures. They have individuality, they can be in good or bad moods. One piece of cheese may be of a completely different quality than another pieces bought two weeks later, even if the name of the cheese is the same.
For the Midwinter feast, I usually go to this one gourmet shop that has their own cheese cellar for doing their own controlled maturing. The Jarlsberg cheese (a Swiss cheese, the only Norwegian true cheese known abroad - the brown cheese is really not a cheese!) I bought for this Midwinter had been maturing since 2017, and was the best cheese I had had since the previous Midwinter Jarlsberg
Yet, I have tasted even better Jarlsberg cheeses, matured for "only" three years. As stated: They are individual, living creatures, with their own personality.

How is the brown one not a real cheese? It fooled me into believing it is one.
