 Because I'm a poor college student, I've stuck to cheeses at trader joes because they're relatively affordable and they have a pretty good imported selection as well as their own house brand.

So far I've tried the goat cheese Brie, double cream Brie, Roquefort, Gouda, and white Stilton (w/ apricots).

The goat brie was really tasty. Much more creamier and a bit sharper than most other Brie cheeses I've had, like President and the double cream brie.

Gouda was not bad. It was cheap cause it was the TJ's brand but didn't have too strong of a flavor but I guess that's kind of expected of Gouda. A workhorse cheese.

Roquefort was awesome. It was my first time trying Roquefort and it tasted like a blue cheese but way creamier and stronger in taste. It was very very salty though.

White Stilton with apricot was interesting... It was dry and crumbly bur it tasted like cheesecake because of the apricot in it. A dessert cheese, I guess.

 Speaking as a poor college student, are the cheeses from cowgirl creamery actually worth their price? I mean a small wheel of their red hook is like $23. They seem to get lots of hype lately.

Cowgirl creamery stuff is extremely extremely good.

Even as a poor college student you should get one some time as a treat.

You might also ask if they'd cut and wrap half of one for you. That's partly what the cheese monger is there for! And you can't get hooked on it until you have a try...

I've gotten halves from a whole foods here before, they just had them sitting with the whole rounds.

Hmm maybe on my next paycheck. Or during a special occasion. I'm pretty happy with my trader joe's cheese for now though.
