well - I've never seen Chantelle, Cornhusker, Gold'n'Rich, or sno-belle either...

Colby and monteray jack are available - NOW - 20 years ago you wouldn't have seen them outside of the cities...- your choice was cheddar - - if you were lucky a sharp as well as a mild - or "american" (ie: fake); pre-grated canned parmasan, and if you were really lucky - mozzerella -


I was in my 40's before I saw goat cheese for retail sale outside of a specialty gourmet shop - (with the exception of my great-aunt's farm) - for decades my only experience with Brie and Camenbert were the little foil wrapped wedges sold as snacks - which are no more Brie and Cammembert then "american" cheese is.

I remember being thrilled the first time I was ever able to get Edam cheese
