What Your Favorite Cheese Says About Your Personality

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at GWU chapter.

It may be hard to pinpoint your favorite kind of cheese if you are the kind of person who dreams about diving in swimming pools of these oozy gooey indulgences. My relationship with cheese is one that speaks to consuming it in its many forms as often as it is humanly possible. I must confess that it is my dairy drug that I am hopelessly addicted to.

Even if you are not from Wisconsin, doesn’t everyone love cheese and the hardest question is which one do you like most?

Let’s get the taste buds primed and see what your choice in cheese says about you.

Cheddar: Traditional
