  • In the premiere episode of 'Price Points', Epicurious challenged cheese expert and noted author Liz Thorpe to guess which one of two cheeses was more expensive. Liz breaks down cheap vs expensive parmesan cheese, goat cheese, gruyère cheese, feta cheese, and blue cheese. For each round of cheap cheese vs expensive cheese, Liz visually analyzed, smelled, then executed a taste test before guessing which cheese cost more. Once the prices were revealed, Thorpe explained why a specific cheese making process costs more and dives into the specifics of how to make the different cheeses.

      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.

    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'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.

    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.

      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.

    I make my own cheese. I age it for about a month until its ripe and tangy. Then I scrape it from under my foreskin and serve it on crackers. Guests absolutely love it.

    It is not that weird that cheese or wine experts exist. there are experts in all kinds of food and they are legitimate jobs in the food industry , cause companies need to know whether a food characteristic is changing with the modification of some variables .

    Parmigiano Regiano is my favorite type of cheese. I could tell it was the more expensive at the first one just by looking. I'm not too good with cheese types, but I'd know my favorite cheese anywhere.
