1. I have a buddy who makes some at his cottage

2. Tillamook, in Oregon.

3. Tillamook Cheddar

4. Philadelphia Cream Cheese

5. My wife makes some sometimes. Its pretty good.

   Belle Chevre is good. Rogue Creamery too.

   Edit: I know Tillamook is popular, but has it suffered from going national? I personally wasn’t impressed.

6. As a cheese loving wisconsinite I take offense to this question.

7. NY sharp cheddar is pretty good.

8. Pimento cheese

9. There is a Amish community a couple hours from me. They make some good cheese.

10. Hemme Brothers quark

11. Tillamook

12. Beehive brand cheeses out of Utah are excellent.

13. Tillamook and Beecher’s!

14. A friend’s- Dancing goats. Amazing cheese. She loves her goats so much and is pretty passionate about cheese. too.

15. If Canada counts, then Oka.

16. Waldo Smog in Maine or anything else by Fuzzy Udder which gets cheese from a crap ton of local farms.

17. The farmer and cheddar cheeses that the Amish near me produce is quite good (and very cheap).

18. Humbolt Fog is hands down the best American cheese, with Maytag Blue being a close second.

19. I have to say, I have no idea where any cheese I like is made, and I don’t really care. I suspect most of us are like that.

20. I live in Oregon and buy a lot of cheese at my local farmer’s market, so I guess I would go with that.

    I do also appreciate Tillamook which is ubiquitous where I live.

21. Alma in Kansas

22. Cooper Sharp

23. As a kid I would have chosen Velveeta cheese from NY.

    Now I’d go with Tillamook from Oregon if we have to choose nationally available in grocery stores. Otherwise, I’ll take anything local in pretty much any state : )

24. Cheez-wiz.

25. Fromunda. It’s made locally.

26. The Amish make some good dairy.

27. Where my pinconning at??

28. Texas. We are number 5 in cheese production in the US.

    Many of our cheeses are based on either German varieties or Mexican varieties.

29. Beecher’s. No competition.

30. Pimento cheese by Palmetto Cheese

31. I like Whatcom Blue from Twin Sisters Creamery in Washington. Cougar Gold is also really good.

32. The cheese on my burgers

33. I got some great goat cheese from a farmers market in Durham NC.

    Turns out hippies make great cheese.

34. Tillamook but mostly because it is a “hommetown” company.

35. A classmate of mine runs a dairy that now is sold at Hy-Vee. So if you’re in the midwest and see Jisa’s Cheese, that’s my classmate. Nice family for the most part.

36. The blueberry stilton from Grandpa’s Cheesebarn (Ohio).

37. there’s this really good brie made in the finger lakes region and aged right in the city I live in

38. Beecher’s or Cougar Gold

39. Tillamook and it’s not even close.

40. Rogue Creamery Smokey Blue. It’s magical.

41. Pinconning

42. There is a creamery in the small town of Alma, KS (population about 800). I like taking a drive and buying cheese from them every so often. I think you can buy it online too.
