Quote from: "CTG"The first cheese I hate: Brie... :-S
You can't say that. Brie cheese is like goat cheese : there is not only 1 kind of them.
Brie can be pasteurized or not (much better when not), from "Melun" or from "Meaux" (city that is 7 km from my home :) ).
And them, depending of its age, each Brie have very different tastes.
Tell me what kind of Brie you hate, I'll tell you what kind of Brie to buy to fit your appetite. :wink:

This Brie was very similar to Tihany Camambert but it was much smellier and its aroma was too strong for me. But Camambert is one of my favorites!

Well, in this case, it seems you don't like when Brie has a too bitter taste, isn't it ?
So, I suggest you to eat "young" Brie, with white skin.
Or you can also eat "medium aged" Brie (light brown skin) with a little bit of butter.
You should forget "old" Brie (dark brown skin).
I suggest you to choose Brie from Meaux instead of Melun, they are "softer" (that means less tasty :lol: ).
You can recognize them because Brie from Meaux is bigger (around 30 cm) and less thick (around 1.5 to 2 cm) than the one from Melun (24 cm of diameter, 4 cm thick).
Also, you can eat pasteurized-milk-made Brie, they never get too bitter. An "old" pasteurized Brie is like a "medium aged" real Brie.

Try to find a real camembert like this one :
(collector box :lol: )Brand name is Reo or Th.Reaux :
Reo is more common to find, especially where I live.
But I prefer the Th.Reaux : cover is black, taste is stronger. No picture of it, sorry.

In France, cheap disgusting pasteurized-mild-made camembert are less than 1 euro while average good pasteurized-milk-made camembert like "President", "Bridel" or "Coeur de Lion" are around 2 euros, often less.
I suppose that in Hungary these camemberts are something like 50-100% more expensive than in France.

Another cheese worth testing if you can find it : Gaperon (from Auvergne part of France)
(http://toutunfromage.canalblog.com/albums/gaperon/m-010_Gaperon.JPG)
Black pieces you see on the picture are small pepper parts.
When young, this cheese is soft, almost creamy on the external parts (as you can see on the picture), and pepper is not very present in the taste.
When old, this cheese is dry, with really different taste, and pepper is much present in the taste, sometimes too much in my opinion.
Personnaly, I like it the best when it's in-between these 2 status : still soft but not creamy, with strong but not too strong pepper taste. :D

cheap camambert start at 0.6EUR/100g
average quality (President, Tihany) cost around 1EUR/100g
quality ones: 4-8 EUR/100g
so the gap big between them :(

Norway is a good place for cheese enthusiasts. Some of the local types are delicious (my favourite is Jarlsberg, similar to Emmentaler), some are strange (like Gudbrandsdalsost, which should be eaten rather as a dessert). And there is a big selection of imported cheeses even in some smaller shops, which would be impossible in Hungary.
I thought I would complain a bit about the prices, but after Zak's post I can't. Here the simplest ones cost 8-9 EUR/kg, quality brands are around 15 EUR/kg, and even specialities are below the psychological limit of 200 NOK/kg (27 EUR/kg).

After all, I don't suppose cheese prices are in any way indicative of the general price level in Shanghai. Dairy products are especially expensive in China because they don't produce them locally, as far as I know. Milk is also ridiculously expensive.

Not indicative at all, but still all foods are quite expensive. Fruit/vegetable is the only thing comparable to Hungarian prices - but of course the selection here is much broader! Fresh mangoes, mmmm :)
