When I go into the supermarket looking for cheese I find it really difficult to find something that has a strong enough flavour to use in cooking. They all tend to grade their cheeses by taste strengths but they are rarely consistent. An 'extra mature' Cheddar may be alright one week but the next time I buy the same brand and strength it is often completely different and quite mild.
Today at the farmers' market I bought some cheese that was made very close to Cheddar and that seems to be quite strong, so when I've had my cheese omelette I will know if it will be good enough to use in other dishes too. Hopefuly their cheese will be more consistent because that's all they do, they make cheese.
Of course, the celebrity chefs on the television will all grab a huge chunk of Parmesan or other cheese when they're cooking but they forget that mere mortals like me, who are on a restricted budget, just can't afford to buy such enormous pieces.
I shall just continue my search to find some tasty, affordable cheeses for my sauces, quiches, pizzas and omelettes.
