I know basically nothing, but I got most of them right, because it's not hard to guess that heterogeneity means that it wasn't machine made and whatever looks older is probably more expensive.
Can we just appreciate how much she knows about cheese and how this video is actually very educational? Also, she seems to be so sweet! And her enthusiasm about cheese got me hooked up for the whole video! 😊
Your comment is so true, I don't if it's because i'm french or it is just normal, but I could definitely say wich one was the more expensive in only one look 😂 (don't get me wrong though, I would never consider myself as a cheese expert 😂)
@@mathis6069 Yep, with all of these, I knew the difference just by looking at it. The expertise she provides (I think) is she explains why a cheese is prices the way it is, what to look for with a particular cheese and where to spend your money when it comes to cheese.
Yeah but the point of the video is more to point out the differences between cheap/expensive cheeses, not necessarily just identify them based on looks. It would have been super boring if she just said which ever one was more expensive and moved on.
creimamkf it is, but so far most of the people who have appeared on this show were businessmen/women that make the product they are guessing the price of
I love how she doesn't talk down on the cheaper products. I remember switching to a more expensive parmesano reggiano, and after a few months deciding that I preferred the flavor of the cheap stuff for what I was using it for. Expensive doesn't mean you'll like it more, expensive just means it required more effort. It is what it is, enjoy what you like. Sometimes there's no substitute for the unnatural ooey gooey thing you get from fake processed cheese. Other times there's no substitute for something that was crafted by a 34th-generation Italian grandma using only her feet. Depends on what you're doing.
I love that this series doesn't seem to want to "call out" supposed experts and lets their experience do the talking. There's no "got you" attempts at the experts expense. Very informative, thanks!
True, but that could mean they're not trying hard enough to test her knowledge. I guess cheese is pretty straightforward and it's a lot easier to identify the cheap vs. the expensive stuff compared to other products such as liquor and wine.
i love that she obviously immediately can tell just from visuals which is more expensive but loves cheese so much she has to keep it ambiguous so she tastes it anyway
I really like how respectful she was towards both versions of cheese, makes you feel less self-conscious about your choices like you would with a snobby "expert". Would love to see more :D
I loved the blue cheese section because I immediately knew not only which was more expensive, but exactly where the expensive one was from. I'm a cheesemonger in Massachusetts and Rogue River Blue is the most expensive large format cheese we have in our shop at anytime. I always tell my friends to try it even if they don't like blues just because it's an experience. It's also the only American cheese to win Best Cheese in the world.
After watching this video a few years ago, I went to a random meat and cheese shop here in Nashville, Tennessee. They actually had the Rogue River Blue Cheese wrapped in grape leaves. I was amazed. I never had it before. I only bought a few ounces of it and it was well worth the cost.
thanks for giving us the name. not that i think i'll ever get it around here (i live in europe) but maaaaybe i can get a taste of it some time when visiting the states

@@dathunderman4 From the profile alone it would have been difficult but as soon as it went top view and you could see the richer center color of the cheese it was a dead giveaway.

I worked for an upscale grocer for over a decade. Whenever a product got popular enough to be offered in 'regular' stores the price ALWAYS went down. If you support them, they make more money, grow, and can lower their costs.
She's made from grass fed sheep's milk, aged in fig leaves in the Swiss mountains. She doesn't have a rind, but a creamy smooth outer layer. She's probably a bit nutty, too. Sounds perfect!
if anyone was wondering what the expensive blue cheese was, it’s called Rogue River Blue. it’s the blue cheese that helped me to stop hating blue cheese :)
Leaving the rind on the cheese felt like it gave it away the majority of the time. It's like having a sommelier taste test wines, but having the bottle right there in front of them. I'd have enjoyed it more if they'd been made to simply blind taste the cheese.

I really enjoy this series: it's not a hokey game of trying to fool the expert, it's having an expert in a particular type of food sit down and explain in detail WHY the foods are different and why that makes them more expensive/taste better.
For anyone curious about the leaf-wrapped cheese, it's the Rogue River Blue. It is, by far, one of the most incredible cheeses I've ever tried. Where many blue cheeses have the mold flavour overpowering everything else, Rogue River Blue's cheese has a tangy, creamy, fruity flavour that is just as strong as the mold. I'm betting the other of the two leaf-wrapped blue cheeses she was thinking about was the Spanish cheese, Valdeon, which is also another great blue cheese and a bit more affordable.
Thank you so much for this. When those blues were shown, and she mentioned two leaf-wrapped types that she knew of, this was the information I wanted to hear.
Hsauce Yes, the molds in cheeses are safe to consume. People have been consuming moldy cheeses for quite some time. They are not the same strains of mold you see on old bread or the walls of a humid room, those are not safe for consumption. In fact, if you have eaten brie cheese you've eaten mold, albeit different strain than the blue cheeses. Bloomy rind cheeses like brie and camembert grow an edible white mold on its surface.

donny green That the point of an expert ... they should be able to recognize the thing in their field of expertise. She recognise immediately that the cheese was well aged. Her big advantage is that cheeses are more easily recognisable than wine.
I got all of these right just by looking at them. You can clearly see the fermentation. I'm no expert but have her blind taste them and then I'll be impressed
She does, but I'm a bit curious about the Parmiggiano Reggiano, since it's protected origin so the first cheese that she called that probably is not it, since it had an Irish flag on the sticker, with an orange bar instead of a red bar like the italian flag.
She’s so down to earth. Please bring her back. She’s great and super informative! I love that she gave examples where each cheese at each price point would shine.
That leaf wrapped blue cheese is from Oregon, Rogue Creamery - Rogue River Blue. Won the world cheese awards competition in Italy for 2019 and 2020. Soo tasty
Even the super expensive cheese seemed to be somewhat reasonably priced. Like, with a lot of other gourmet foods you get massive price differences and insane, unjustifiable prices at the high end, but $50 a pound for apparently one of the most expensive cheeses out there is not that bad.
$50 in Norway is like 404.70 NOK which is a lot of money.... It's interesting to see like how different a currency can make in how valuable and reasonable a purchase seems... And in Norway you can get like a pound of cheese for $5..
I wasn't trying to say that you couldn't get a pound of cheese for $5 anywhere else, just thought it was interesting how much of a difference currency makes in what seems cheap and what does not. Also i remembered wrong it cost around $10 not $5 ^^
She is amazing! Knows her stuff but is humble, doesn’t hate on the accessible cheap options… when I grow up and become a cheese expert I want to be like her
There's an ancient order of cheese experts, or Cheesers, that reside deep into the mantle of the Earth, just below Italy. They scour the globe for individuals with a refined cheese palette. The way people are chosen is just one of the many mysteries that surround this elusive group. Some claim divine intervention, others claim privacy-violating surveillance, whatever the method, the process has a natural way of filtering out the non-Cheesers. My suggestion, every time you eat cheese just let out loud, pleasure sounds, they'll be listening.
I am a cheese addict and just by its look I can tell with 90% accuracy if it is cheap or genuine stuff . Then when I smell it I am at 100% ...tasting is just because I love them !
i love when experts are knowledgeable but still humble about what they know. she clearly knew what she was talking about and she probably knew which cheese was which based on her observations but she wasn't like "ITS 100% THE CHEAPER ONE. IM POSITIVE"
Having dinner with people that know so much about the food being served is such a joyful experience it's almost as if you are tasting the work to create the products.
as I'm studyig for my CCSE and realising I can Identify these cheeses by sight is making me feel way less stressed. but that Rogue River blue is iconic and if she didn't know it right off I would have had questions.
In Asia we don't eat a lot of cheese, usually we only eat cheese in a food so we don't really know the differences of each cheese, this video is a really good learning video.
@Irun Mon I suppose it would depend on where you live in Asia, no? I've heard cheese is pretty big with Mongolians, for obvious reasons about their classical culture.
hmm I didn't know that, I live in indonesia and it's pretty far from mongolia. probably far other side like turkey (part asia) they also eat cheese but big part of asia from china to indonesia i'm pretty sure we don't really eat that much of cheese
I'm imagining portions of China might be into cheese. Nomadic folk in general where their usual source of food is their animals. A lot of China is very similar to Mongolia as far as climate goes iirc.
I watched video about cheese in china, they said it's new to them, they only familiar with regular cheese like cheddar cheese or cheese that you get in most supermarket. we still do eat cheese but not many variant like in most west countries
mugensamurai I prefer aged Cashew Cheese because it's even healthier then grass fed cheese and it's also better for the environment and they taste amazing! I highly suggest Miyokos Creamery Cheeses 😍SO GOOD.
Secret plot twist: this cheese expert with her precisely honed palate actually went home after correctly guessing all these expensive cheeses and opened her cupboard, loosened the plastic top off a can of CheezWiz, and sprayed a huge mountain of it directly into her mouth!
I love how she pretends she doesn't know exactly which cheese is in front of her. Even I could tell from a mile away that the more expensive cheeses that were not parm or feta were Coupole, Pleasant Ridge Reserve, and Rogue River Blue. Really educational video though, especially for those not familiar with cheese. Liz has some great books too.
When she started going on about the cows being grass fed it reminded me of the time I went to this mom and pop owned restaurant and this waiter had the audacity to be like “today’s special is our top quality sirloin from our *corn fed* cows” like *SIR* ... do you think I’m dumb?
Woah not just a gimmick video she actually explains a lot about it, chill, honest, and doesn't sugarcoat anything with BS, cool! Need more videos like this
Hilma AndMyWeirdSoul it is also the proportions of the 3 parts of the flag. That is independent from lightning. And it looks much more orange than the red on the American flag. My Irish friend even said it is the Irish flag.
I read this on another comment and i think thia is the case: they already printed everything and it was too late to change: hence why the flag is mostly obstructed for most of the time
LordArth I know right. regardless of whether you can correctly guess the price, what she is doing apart from that is presenting her knowledge of cheese as a whole.
Im not cheese expert but I knew all of these. I think it’s easy for anyone that loves cooking/buying nice ingrediants. You always have the ‘obvious’ industrial look and organic/home-made one that is almost always more expensive.
darkpheonix77 hahaha, the one with the Swiss cheese holes in it! Too funny... They totally missed the golden opportunity to have her cut Swiss cheese with it.
+ZombieWilfred Doing so would have made her look like an amateur instead of expert though. The knife with holes is for soft cheese, to prevent it from sticking to the knife. The Swiss cheese is quite hard.
I am no expert at all but i would have got 100% of these right just by looks, unless you have zero clue about what fermentation looks like, longer age=more expensive every time.

I got all of these right just by looking at them. You can clearly see the fermentation. I'm no expert but have her blind taste them and then I'll be impressed
evs251 But could you explain everything else beside the fermentation?
Now ill be better informed when i go out to buy my Kraft singles
lol
Make sure you look for old expired ones..bcus according to this video old cheeses tend to be better 👌🏼
thrashSJ It's like wine versus expired Welch's grape juice. Do Kraft Singles even expire, though? I thought they were just salty paper, lol.
yea they do I buy them sometimes

Its just the texture
She knows her stuff, that I can’t argue
She does, but I'm a bit curious about the Parmiggiano Reggiano, since it's protected origin so the first cheese that she called that probably is not it, since it had an Irish flag on the sticker, with an orange bar instead of a red bar like the italian flag.
What a lovely person. I could watch and listen to her all day

She’s so down to earth. Please bring her back. She’s great and super informative! I love that she gave examples where each cheese at each price point would shine.
this lady needs a t.v show

Nah it would be kinda cheesey
Rylan ; she does not she just tastes cheese it would get boring very quickly.
Rylan ; how many episodes could it go on
Rylan ; why? To tell people what most people already know about cheese?
Is everyone ignoring the fact that they used the flag from Ireland instead of the flag from Italy?
Maybe it's just camera's defects with capturing all the colours ?
I guess most Americans dont even know that
@@macmatt1718 😊
Noticed that too. "Only allowed in certain Italian counties...and the entire country of Ireland."
@jaretos
I noticed that, too, but thought maybe my computer's colors were off. But since you're seeing it, too, it's most likely they messed up.
it is like watching a person having a test in a class but she physically explains her answer and she nails every question
That leaf wrapped blue cheese is from Oregon, Rogue Creamery - Rogue River Blue. Won the world cheese awards competition in Italy for 2019 and 2020. Soo tasty
wow !! who knew

anyone know what kind of leaf that is, cause to me it looks alot like a tobacco leaf
Edit: its grape leaves thx

She didn’t need to taste it SHE WANTED to taste it
Even the super expensive cheese seemed to be somewhat reasonably priced. Like, with a lot of other gourmet foods you get massive price differences and insane, unjustifiable prices at the high end, but $50 a pound for apparently one of the most expensive cheeses out there is not that bad.
Vally123 the rat profile pic make this much better
Ben bruen lol yeah i'm imagining a rat watching this video admiring the cheeses
$50 in Norway is like 404.70 NOK which is a lot of money.... It's interesting to see like how different a currency can make in how valuable and reasonable a purchase seems... And in Norway you can get like a pound of cheese for $5..
Tilda Peiksdatter - You can get a pound of cheese for $5 almost anywhere. It is that very specific cheese and specific brand.
I wasn't trying to say that you couldn't get a pound of cheese for $5 anywhere else, just thought it was interesting how much of a difference currency makes in what seems cheap and what does not. Also i remembered wrong it cost around $10 not $5 ^^
I have work at 8 in the morning and I'm watching a video a woman guessing between cheese
I'd say I'm doing well with my life

U living right
She is amazing! Knows her stuff but is humble, doesn’t hate on the accessible cheap options… when I grow up and become a cheese expert I want to be like her
I love how humble she is. Like, she knows she knows a lot, but she's okay if she were to get one wrong.
So, how do I get this job?
Study cheese science
Just eat cheese
There's an ancient order of cheese experts, or Cheesers, that reside deep into the mantle of the Earth, just below Italy. They scour the globe for individuals with a refined cheese palette. The way people are chosen is just one of the many mysteries that surround this elusive group. Some claim divine intervention, others claim privacy-violating surveillance, whatever the method, the process has a natural way of filtering out the non-Cheesers. My suggestion, every time you eat cheese just let out loud, pleasure sounds, they'll be listening.
@@WretchedIcon this comment has me dying😂😂😂
The job chooses you
I love that they made this informational as opposed to just trying to trick the expert.
I am a cheese addict and just by its look I can tell with 90% accuracy if it is cheap or genuine stuff . Then when I smell it I am at 100% ...tasting is just because I love them !
i love when experts are knowledgeable but still humble about what they know. she clearly knew what she was talking about and she probably knew which cheese was which based on her observations but she wasn't like "ITS 100% THE CHEAPER ONE. IM POSITIVE"
I clicked because I didn't know there was such a thing as cheese expert
TheOnly 0506 the're lots of varieties of experts, like MEAT EXPERTS
Hohoho cheese is one of our most celebrated foods with thousands of years of history and cultivation. Everything isn't Krafts single "cheese"

In Asia we don't eat a lot of cheese, usually we only eat cheese in a food so we don't really know the differences of each cheese, this video is a really good learning video.
@Irun Mon
I suppose it would depend on where you live in Asia, no? I've heard cheese is pretty big with Mongolians, for obvious reasons about their classical culture.
hmm I didn't know that, I live in indonesia and it's pretty far from mongolia. probably far other side like turkey (part asia) they also eat cheese but big part of asia from china to indonesia i'm pretty sure we don't really eat that much of cheese
I'm imagining portions of China might be into cheese. Nomadic folk in general where their usual source of food is their animals. A lot of China is very similar to Mongolia as far as climate goes iirc.
I watched video about cheese in china, they said it's new to them, they only familiar with regular cheese like cheddar cheese or cheese that you get in most supermarket. we still do eat cheese but not many variant like in most west countries
Ah, interesting.
I personally like these ones better because I feel like I learned something rather than the professional just stating their answer and moving on.

Yeah. I love it

I love how she pretends she doesn't know exactly which cheese is in front of her. Even I could tell from a mile away that the more expensive cheeses that were not parm or feta were Coupole, Pleasant Ridge Reserve, and Rogue River Blue. Really educational video though, especially for those not familiar with cheese. Liz has some great books too.

Woah not just a gimmick video she actually explains a lot about it, chill, honest, and doesn't sugarcoat anything with BS, cool! Need more videos like this
anyone notice that the first cheese is from Italy, but they used the Irish flag?
Yep, instantly saw that. How hard is it to use the proper flag?
Angus Timmins lmao yep
are you sure it wasn't the lighting? red can look orange if the light is directly on it ^^ Otherwise the flags are similar, so that might be why
Hilma AndMyWeirdSoul it is also the proportions of the 3 parts of the flag. That is independent from lightning. And it looks much more orange than the red on the American flag. My Irish friend even said it is the Irish flag.
I read this on another comment and i think thia is the case: they already printed everything and it was too late to change: hence why the flag is mostly obstructed for most of the time
This was not a very hard test, I know nothing about cheese but I got all of them right
LordArth well the entire point is the price, not the other shit
Same
LordArth I know right. regardless of whether you can correctly guess the price, what she is doing apart from that is presenting her knowledge of cheese as a whole.
That's probably because you have a cheese expert telling you all the details of the cheese
SimicFishCrab truu
Im not cheese expert but I knew all of these. I think it’s easy for anyone that loves cooking/buying nice ingrediants. You always have the ‘obvious’ industrial look and organic/home-made one that is almost always more expensive.
Her gracious giggle when she realizes she’s correct. 😍
Yes ok, but that is the Irish flag 🇮🇪,not the Italian one 🇮🇹

next vid
darkpheonix77 You are probably American :D
+ZombieWilfred Doing so would have made her look like an amateur instead of expert though. The knife with holes is for soft cheese, to prevent it from sticking to the knife. The Swiss cheese is quite hard.
Check out the new video she explains the knives
"It tastes like biting into a crayon with little salt crystals in it." "You want it for its flavor"
I am no expert at all but i would have got 100% of these right just by looks, unless you have zero clue about what fermentation looks like, longer age=more expensive every time.
yeah the only thing separating you from an expert is... everything else she said.
same, it's actually surprisingly easy to guess which one is more expensive just by look.

Wow this actually taught me a lot about cheese AND she doesn't come off as a snob at all! Thanks Liz!!
