[THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.]
Welcome to Round 2 of my “Favorite Things Holiday Giveaway” series! Today’s giveaway is for a Grafton Village Cheese Company gift package which includes Garlic Cheddar (my favorite!), Aged Cheddar, a VT-shaped cutting board, and a wire cheese slicer. When I was at Grafton in October, choosing which cheese to buy was insanely difficult due to the overwhelming selection of cheese carried in the shop but I think you’ll be very happy with what is included here…and I’m jealous about the cheese slicer since I regretfully didn’t pick one up for myself when I was there. Anyway…this package will ship directly from GVCC who specializes in shipping cheese safely. GOOD LUCK!!

I love all cheese. That being said, munster is my favorite. I love the way it melts and its creamy texture. We call it monster cheese at my house. It’s my son’s favorite too-think that’s because of the monster name. 🙂
I love Spanish tetilla cheese. I even brought a few wheels home in my suitcase 🙂
Brie
My favorite cheese would be sharp cheddar
My favorite cheese is mozzarella. Only the real mozzarella though. The fresh stuff. 🙂
I have an allergy to cow’s milk and I miss cow’s milk cheese the most. My favorites included cheddar, provolone, mozzarella, swiss, and brie. Fortunately, I can purchase MANCHEGO at my local grocer. Manchego is made with sheep’s milk.
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!

I have so many favorite cheeses, but if I had to pick just one I would probably say smoked gouda! 🙂
I love Manchego cheese from Spain. Or in Spain is the best 🙂
I wish I could choose a cheese I like best. They are all my favorites!!!!!
I love all cheese. I haven’t met a cheese yet that I don’t like, but the one I always choose first on a cheese platter is pepper jack.
Manchego!! But I love all cheese.
Mmmm…Brie…but it’s so hard to choose. As a Wisconsin girl, I get to sample lots of tasty cheeses!
coastal is my favorite!!
Being a good Southern Belle, pimento cheeses, made with a nice sharp cheddar. But, like all the other comments, I like most of them. ( Limburger is a no-no)
Thanks
My Favorite cheese…this may sound boring but good ole’ Cheddar Cheese.
I love all cheese, but my favorite is a good aged sharp cheddar.
I haven’t tasted a cheese that I don’t like… My current obsession is with cambezola. I could live on bread and cheese and chocolate! 🙂
My favorite cheese is hot pepper!
mmm Gruyere!
Pepper Jack 🙂
This is 100% me showing my inherent lameness but my favorite kind of cheese is an Cooper Sharp White American Cheese. It’s really great in scrambled eggs and it’s going to make the lunch I packed today awesome (a sun tried tomato wrap with buffalo chicken, baby spinach and the above named cooper sharp cheese).
It is so hard to pick just one! However, I really don’t know if I could live without good old mozzarella. The first time I made it was an experience!

Aged cheddar
I LOVE a good smoked Swiss Cheese. It makes a good grilled cheese sandwich! Of course, you can’t miss the tomato soup to go along with it, either.
It’s a tie between very sharp cheddar and bleu.
I am an equal opportunity cheese lover 🙂
I love most all cheese, but my favorite is a sharp aged cheddar. {the sharper the better =)}
I like all cheese, but use mild cheddar the most. My whole family is big on cheese, and when my youngest daughter comes home from New York, she always takes cheese back, and her fellow co-workers, just love that.
Cheddar is my favorite. LOVE IT. With warm crusty bread and a pitcher of sweet tea and I’m set.
Muenster!
White sharp cheddar is my favorite

My favorite is sharp cheddar!
I love ALL cheeses!! Especially sharp and stinky ones!! Hahaha! I probably eat sharp cheddar and gorgonzola most often though. Yum!!
My favorite cheese is the Grafton Duet–blue cheese on top and sharp cheddar on the bottom. YUM.
The best cheese that I have ever had the pleasure of tasting is Grafton’s Duet. I consider it “cheese pie”. The crusts….2 amazing slices of grafton cheddar.. The filling…Blue cheese. Whoever came up with the idea to meld my two favorite kind of cheeses…kudos! Best cheese in the world! The combo is amazing!
Our favorite type of cheese is cheddar. We always have some in the fridge. We first discovered Grafton cheddar while listening to a show on NPR. They were talking about how this cheddar had won the title of best cheddar. I went to their website and ordered some for my husband for Christmas. We enjoyed it so much that we made a roadtrip to Grafton to visit the factory and stock up. It is now a yearly pilgrimage we make, buying enough for us as well as gifts for others that we have “hooked” on their cheddar. Even though we have found that some of our local stores carry Grafton cheddar, we wouldn’t think of not making the trip each year! Vermont is such a beautiful place to visit!
I love cheese, but I can’t eat it since I am lactose intolerant due to chemo. However, my husband (and my dog) love cheese, so I put it in lots of stuff for them when I cook/bake.
Sharp cheddar. Sorry. I am boring.
Blue Cheese, cheddar, parmesan, they are all my favorite!
Nothing beats a smoked cheddar! My favorite smoked cheddar is a Vermont cheddar smoked at the Green Mountain Smokehouse.
I love love love goat cheese. Any recipe with goat cheese is pretty much a guaranteed winner for me.
My current favorite is Grafton Duet!
It’s a tough call but my favorite type of cheese is goat cheese :))
Smoked Gouda…MMMMMM Good!
Cheddar cheese on triscuits! Umm the best!!
Cheddar (any kind) of yours, of course, with crackers
You’ve just asked a seriously debatable question. Going to have to go with creamy blue (bleu?) … it’s so stinkin’ divine.
Oh my, so many choices! Probably either a really, really sharp white cheddar, or blue cheese. Nom nom nom!
I love extra sharp white cheddar.
Oooh! It’s a toss-up between Feta, Gouda, and fresh Mozzarella!

Gotta be Brie………
psrrn@aol.com
Cheese is probably my favorite craving in the world so picking a favorite is tough. Ummh, let’s say it is Brie or is it goat or is it gouda? Brie it is!!
I love aged white cheddar. I eat it by itself and I also put it in an artisan bread recipe that I like to make. I had some tonight.
Brie wrapped in bacon!
I gotta go with a nice cheddar! Very versatile. Great giveaway, Tara! Thanks!
I love a nice aged cheddar!
Love colby cheese! Not colby jack…just colby!!!!
Cheddar 🙂
I’m a sucker for cheddar, but really I like any of the sharper cheeses.
My favorite cheese is hard to identify since I love so many kinds. I guess today I will say smoked provolone.
I used to work in the cheese department of a food retailer and, while I love most cheese, Pyrenees Brebis is my favorite. It’s a french, semi-soft cheese from the Pyrenees region of France. It’s creamy and perfect.
Of soft cheeses I love a good triple creme, hard cheese a good VT white cheddar
It’s hard to choose a favorite cheese, but if I had to I’d go with cheddar. Yum!
There is nothing beddar than Cheddar.
My favorite kind of cheese is feta! I could put it on every salad ever.
I’ve tried Brie for the first time recently and it has become my favorite cheese!
my fave cheese is blueberry stilton !
My favorite types of cheese (since I could not pick just one!) are brie, Sharp White Cheddar and smoked Gouda!!!! Yum!
Oh my…cheese coming directly to my house? Yes please! My favorite is Humboldt Fog, a California blue, which my (now) husband and I first had on the day we got engaged!
I have been a Cheddar Cheese fan all my life and I know in the recent trips to Vermont, there is REALLY good cheese made there! I am fond of Grafton DUET though, since it combinds the sharpness of the cheddar with the twang of the blue! Happy Holidays!!!
I absolutely adore provolone cheese! But honestly I love all cheeses. I add them to everything! 🙂
Wisconsin white cheddar
It is very hard to pick just one, but I suppose I would hate to live in a world without a good, sharp Cheddar.
My favorite cheese – Swiss – from Holmes County, OH

Cheddar is my favorite cheese of all time!
