This isn’t about what’s available in Europe (also, hyperbole makes a terrible argument. I can just point to something like Reykhólar) You’re specifically complaining about cheese availability in the United States and I think you’re way more invested in hating the country than actually trying to fix your problems.
There are many small farm, local cheeses in my area. Arethusa is a famous, award winning cheese maker in my state. You pay a lot for it, but many farmer’s markets and rural areas have cheese makers.
Obviously if you buy national cheese brands, they will suck. But that doesn’t mean with a little effort you can’t find good cheese made locally to you with higher quality care.
Can y’all stop comparing your American experience with the theoretical concept of no cheese? The comparisons os between two cheese cultures, not American V no cheese.
So many replies are about “I can get cheese here”. It’s not even the answer to the topic.
I’m comparing 2 things. And you are only aware of the existence of one of those things, and you are defending it blindly, against what? You have no fucking clue.
Question, I lived in various European countries and the US, that’s why I making said comparison.
Did you spent significant time outside of the States?
Because listing some highly specific cheeses that aren’t available in any of my local distributors doesn’t count.
In Europe, in any town, from large cities to tiny villages, there’s a shit ton of cheeses, from national cheeses to imported cheeses.

It’s all relative, by European standards, the US has terrible cheese culture.
There’s some, but its mostly just corporate slop.

So you’re crying you can’t get Euro cheese in the states? And that’s it? What’s the point in arguing about that.
Maybe have someone ship you some. We’re just offering you options. If none of it is good enough, get it from Europe then?
I’m talking to idiots.

God Americans are so entitled.
I don’t even know what I’m defending, or what you’re talking about. Have a cheesy day!
Any american Bleu that approaches Roquefort in your opinion? Any american bleu that is great?
@Soggy@lemmy.world Do you have an opinion?
(I have no dog in this fight but I really like cheese and y’all know enough to fight about it.)
I’m the wrong guy to ask for that, sorry. Blue cheeses aren’t something I reach for.
