Or in the UK you could just go to a shop. Even ordinary supermarkets like Tesco or Sainsbury's stock a vast range of cheeses and the deli counter will let you try a sample.
I was intrigued by your request so I wandered off to do a google search and came up with the wikipedia list of cheeses. The search (ctrl F) for the word salty had 29 hits and fatty came up with 1. As most others suggest I use feta for the salty tang but you need to search for feta to find it. Helpful not
It is definitely a route that needs personalisation but surprisingly fascinating. There was one cheese I would have to insist was prepared in a pine ring. Lol So the suggestion the computer has decided is your perfect partner based on your personal profile is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queijo_do_Pico Please let me know what it is like if you try it. Meantime I shall stick to Roqueforte and Stilton. Have to say the photo is not making my taste buds tingle but the write up sounds good.

I definitely want to try it, but I couldn't find any uk shop that has it
you have a whole list of tasty cheeses to try on here. Why focus on the one that is difficult to find, and dismiss all the others, and rubbish the local produce of our own country? What, exactly, are you looking for? there is a whole international cuisine available in most supermarkets and small local delis.A whole country learnt to fear salt and everything is tasteless. There is no way to find salty cheese here
Try some vintage cheddar, some of them have crystals of salt visible, if you don't think that's salty your tastebuds are faulty!
After reading all of your posts, I have come to the conclusion your taste buds are stuffed. Go and see a ENT specialist to check them out properly.
yep that one is definitely a challenge. It appears to be a family made cheese in the Azores so I cannot even guess if it is available in Portugal. In days of yore one need only contact Harrods and it would be delivered to your doorstep in a green liveried van. I cannot believe that once broad boast still holds true.I definitely want to try it, but I couldn't find any uk shop that has it
Cheddar is not a protected status product so you can get some quite awful **** as you can with any mass produced product. They sell an awful lot of the stuff. I just go for the most aged one available but some of those can be quite bland but at least vintage is not as rubbery as mild. You definitely need to get yourself a favourite deli of quality. Do you ever go near a quality department store? We used to have one in Rackhams in Birmingham. Alternatively I imagine there must be artisan cheesemaker conventions somewhere in the country where someone can help with suggestions or even ways of sampling your elusive heavenly match
.All the best kitchens know how to apply salt and that is an art in itself. http://www.seriouseats.com/2010/02/how-to-salt-and-season-food-properly.html Do you like smoked foods? They are very flavoursome.A whole country learnt to fear salt and everything is tasteless. There is no way to find salty cheese here
Many years ago way back in the 1960's.
That would be amazing. I never knew that. Did they produce the cheese too? I think the big retailers just buy in and most of their warehousing is the lorries on the road. I cannot imaginee the big supermarkets manufacturing anything but money nowadays. Their label just goes on so many of the producers packs and another label goes on the next batch. I know a lot of people think the company whose name is on a loaf of bread has actually baked the stuff so lets skirt the issue and say I think there is even less chance of them producing their own cheese.
I think as far as I can remember, that it was just for the London ? stores, it was a long time ago and the memory is getting rusty on how big the place was.
