I was with you until you took a shot at Dutch cheese :) What's your problem with it? I find the Netherlands (for a tiny country of 16 million) has an excellent diversity of cheeses of high quality. In every town in the country you can find supermarkets with a fantastic assortment of cheese, and in cities specialty shops with great variety. Plenty of cheese shops make their own cheeses, and it's all extremely local - a few times I've bought cheese where you can see the cows that produced it from the window! Also, I've found myself (for the duration of the coronavirus) not too far from Vermont. Is there anywhere else you'd recommend visiting in the area aside from Jasper Hill Cellars? Thanks for the recommendation of Jasper Hill, I'll have to visit :)

> I was with you until you took a shot at Dutch cheese :) What's your problem with it? Too much rubber :) There are some good dutch (and german) cheeses, it is true. But I find that too many of them share a texture that I have a hard time appreciating. Fine, I guess for fondue or other melting applications, but the idea of eating it as doesn't do much for me. Another side note: I was in southern Spain in the winter of 2016/2017 and was amazed that almost none of the cheese that I could buy there seemed to be exported, and likewise, almost all of the Spanish cheese I've seen in the US and the UK was quite hard to find in Spain (regular stores, not cheese stores).
