Cheese Expert Guesses More Cheap vs Expensive Cheeses | Price Points | Epicurious

In this episode of 'Price Points', Epicurious brings back cheese expert and noted author Liz Thorpe to guess which one of two cheeses is more expensive. Liz breaks down brie cheese, cheddar cheese, gouda cheese, mozzarella cheese, and washed rind cheese. For each round of cheeses, Liz looks at, smells, and taste tests before guessing which cheese costs more. Once the prices are revealed, Thorpe explains why a specific cheese making process costs more and dives into the specifics of how to make the different cheeses.

Cheese and Wine fall into the category of price doesnt always tell you the quality as the more work that went into the aging process is radically gonna effect that price and some types of cheeses and wines dont need to be aged as much to have a good flavor profile and are gonna be cheap not because they are bad quality but because less work went into making it

About a year ago, I went to a local supermarket. I was surprised by their cheese section, and even more surprised that the cheese section was headed by a certified cheesemaster (I wasn't even aware of such a thing). As he told me about some good cheeses to buy, I couldn't help but think how fun that has to be to be a "cheesemaster" for a living. As I was walking away, I got the urge to go back up to the guy and ask him how I could get started on knowing cheese better. I could tell he didn't get asked that very often, especially by a 21 year old kid! He said there were a handful of good books he was thinking of, but if I could only buy one book, he did not hesitate to place Liz Thorpe's "The Book of CHEESE" as his number-one. I bought it online that same night, and I'm very glad I did. Thorpe makes even the most exotic of cheeses approachable by linking them back to a common cheese. Never heard of Emmentaler? Well maybe use Swiss as a reference point. Not just does she make cheeses easy to understand, but she also gives recommendations on what cheeses in each category to try, essentially allowing you to go on an independent cheese-tasting. I've tasted a lot of delicious new cheeses all thanks to her book. A year on and I can say I may not ever become a certified "cheesemaster," but I can certainly tell you that this book opens the door to flavors your taste buds didn't even know existed. P.S., if there's one fun cheese I'd recommend everybody to try, it'd have to be Leipäjuusto, aka Finnish Bread Cheese. The stuff is incredible. Buy a block, throw some straight onto a stove pan, and enjoy a super-flavorful "grilled cheese without the bread." The Finns and Swedes even dip this in coffee lol.

[@Komorebiki]

Y’all should do an episode of this but with comparing bread!

[@tina7151]

Bakuta Nathan I don't know why I first read it as beard... Bring in the facial hair expert. Haha

[@WastedPo]

I don't know if this would work with bread. I'm no expert, but I think bread is one of those things where a really wonderful, rustic, expertly made loaf can be pretty inexpensive. Possibly even less expensive than some spongy, unremarkable sandwich breads you'd get from a supermarket.

[@Bakuta1103]

WastedPo Yea, I guess that is true haha. Though even just comparing quality might be super cool! (I enjoy learning about all the differences between the artisanal products vs the more generic/mass produced)

[@AdventureRuben]

[@Sanne78]

My dutch friend appreaciates your pronounciation of Gouda! :) Also, I love people that are passionate and interested in their job and knowledge, it's so awesome. And I love cheese. I need to educate myself

[@-danR]

She isn't especially knowledgeable. The vid has obviously had some heavy retakes and editing, and may be entirely faked. Notice for one of the comparisons, she declared one cheese, after cutting into, definitely 'firmer' before she had actually cut into the _other_ cheese. How would she _know_ it was firmer unless they had done earlier takes?

[@Sanne78]

Well ofc, it's a video, there a gonna be cuts. Perhaps she or the producers weren't happy about some of the takes :)

[@BinkleWF]

tubeist- dan i dont think she meant firmer than the other other cheese, but firmer in general.

[@dutchdrifter8740]

She really does pronounce it well. And as I understand the way we pronounce the g in gouda is pretty hard.

@@illiji915 The thing is, this video isn't about just guessing. It's also about reasoning behind those guesses. She is clearly very knowledgeable on the production process and what makes each cheese unique.

[@hearsthewater]

I always learn so much when I watch these shows. Interestingly enough. Makes me realize just how cheap the cheeses are that I can afford to buy. I also want to know where to buy those cheese knives!

[@hnjahnjah]

hearsthewater you can find specific sets on Amazon or eBay or a specialist knife shop that sells chefs knives and such. They aren't cheap though. When I worked in Munich I found a few in department stores like Galeria Kaufhof and they went for like 60-70 euros per piece. I'm talking about Wüsthof knives though, so you pay for quality as well as a brand. As a chef I have plenty of Wüsthof knives and they are a good value for the money you pay for.

[@hearsthewater]

Soetpotatis I looked but didn't find any like the ones she used. I was hoping for that specific set.

[@quesoflaco4548]

They're Boska brand knives. The knife uses on the Mozzarella is a personal favorite for a wide range of softer cheeses.

[@pvrpl313]

[@malyciousapple]

Cheese expert @ the B washed rind cheese: "What are you?" Me, cheap deli worker: "ma'am that is muenster cheese" aka american imitation of french munster cheese, the orange-y rind is caused vegetable oil added during the process of making it

[@RedShoes29]

Is muenster any good?

[@malyciousapple]

@@RedShoes29 got a nice salty flavor to it that I really appreciate, good for pizza and grilled cheeses. You ever had little caesar's pizza? They use mozzarella and muenster.

In the Netherlands we grow up with traditionally made cheese (like Gouda) that I didn't even recognize the red one as something that's supposed to resemble Gouda. Actually a lot of the cheaper cheeses look nothing like how I know them, so I learned a lot from this video. I love all cheese though.

I always get these right, just by looking at them. I'm sure other people have this too? One just looks more authentic than the other

[@davidb5205]

Same. One usually looks "generic" and the other looks "homemade." Like if it has a thicker rind, imperfect coloring, unique shape, etc then it is the more expensive one.

[@petraspareaccount467]

eV20 I have the exact same thing. I'm not sure how though-

This isn't a guessing game it's meant to be informative so the pick completely different ones. That's why the experts always get it right
