The best pimento cheese is homemade, but that’s not what this series is about is it! Store-bought pimento cheese doesn’t get much better than this one, and it’s easy to find and not to pricey for a large tub! I’m also a fan of MyThreeSons Gourmet, available in Harris Teeter, Publix, and Whole Foods. And it’s widely available at Trader Joe’s, Kroger, Publix, and more (thought def cheapest at TJ’s).

I like it on a cracker with an anchovy on top. But I just have long been trying to convince people that Port Salut is the NEW brie, and I want to keep that campaign going here, okay? Trust me, it’s so good. Okay, I will admit that this is absolutely the most mild cheese on this list, and it is only SLIGHTLY less mild than a brie. You could add a few cubes of cheese and some oil to a roasting pan with halved cherry tomatoes and pop it into the oven on 400 degrees for just about seven minutes for a very tasty side dish or spread! Seriously, I wish I was not so obsessed with this cheese, because it’s definitely one of the priciest things I get from Publix, but I can’t resist it!!!!! Port Salut The most important thing about this jar of cheese is to not waste a single drop of its oil! The oil is delicious drizzled onto some roasted vegetables or on garlic bread. Spoon a piece onto some toasted bread and then spread it out into a thin layer. I recommend spooning it out of the jar as it’s very soft, so it breaks down quickly if you try to jab at it with a knife or fork. It’s a combination goat + sheep cheese, and it’s marinated in ultra garlicky oil. BUT the jar can last a while! A little of this cheese goes a long way. Yes, in-store it’s still going to cost an exorbitant amount ($11). It also can be found at Kroger, Von’s, Whole Foods, and - if you’re in NYC - Murray’s Cheese Shop. I found it at Publix, so if that’s your go-to grocery store, look for it in the cheese aisle near the deli department. If you only buy one cheese on this list, let it be this one. I know people usually save the best for last, but I am giving you the best first. Alright, let’s delve right into some specific products! Find dairy-free and vegan options at the end! Meredith Dairy Sheep & Goat Cheese You can eat them spread on a simple cracker or a crostini or a hunk of bread, and they’re still gonna pack a lot of flavor even with a mild vehicle. So the soft cheeses I’m highlighting today are ones that stand very well on their own. Brie’s great, but I usually like to combine it with some other stronger flavor to lift it. But today, I want to talk to you about soft and spreadable cheeses you can find in your grocery store that aren’t the wildly popular brie. I love it! I especially have been into experimenting with different baked brie recipes lately, which I’m sure will end up being its whole own article at some point. It’s mild, adaptable, and crowd-pleasing.

Especially marinated and infused varities! Now, I’m here to talk to you about SOFT CHEESE recommendations. We’ve talked pickled snacks, jerky snacks, and tinned fish treats (for more tinned fish ideas, check out my Fish Party series). Welcome back to It’s Time To Get Into, a snacking column all about spicing up your grocery list and finding no-cook/low-cook solutions to simply not having the time to make a whole ass complicated meal.

While it doesn’t have bacon, it does have the salty-tanginess of goat cheese, the sweetness of in-season ripe strawberries, and the creamy coolness of avocado. I love making sandwiches that have unique flavor combinations in them. 5 comments » Strawberry, Avocado, Goat Cheese Sandwich
