    I spent the last couple of years selling and eating fancy cheeses and I’d say that isn’t true. Some are better melted, some I let come to room temperature long before eating and some (almost none, though) I prefer cold.

    Trust me, some cheeses will turn into an oily puddle when melted.

    My guess is your experience is with young, semisoft, and American cheeses?

      I’m thinking specifically about cheddar. I’ve never had an American cheese.

        Yeah so young cheddar then, the aged stuff separates pretty badly and weeps oil instead of melting properly.

      Oh I trust you. I just think you underestimate my desire to consume a sandwich whose bread has been smothered in puddles of hot cheese oils.

        You know what, that is totally valid and I’d do the same.

        Were living* unfortunately.

        I left to work for a non-profit a little bit ago. I seriously miss getting invited out to visit cheese, beer and wine (and whatever else local) producers. I spent my vacations just going from place to place.

        My dream is to produce goat cheese, so maybe someday I’ll be back in the life.
