41 - Bread Cheese
Country of Origin - Finland
Bread cheese (Finnish: leipäjuusto or juustoleipä; Meänkieli: kahvijuusto; Swedish: kaffeost or brödost), known in the United States as Finnish squeaky cheese, is a Finnish fresh cheese traditionally made from cow's colostrum. In America, cow's milk is generally used but can also be made with goat milk.[1] Commercially available versions are typically made from cow's milk. The cheese originally comes from Southern Ostrobothnia, Northern Finland, and Kainuu.
An interesting entry to say the least. Can eat it cold, or also heat it up. I think there is about a 1 degree difference between melting and complete disintegration

I had to google this as I could only picture Cheesy Bread. This is good stuff. Don't think to pick it up often, but enjoy it warm.

40 - Manchego
County of origin - Spain
Manchego is a semi-hard cheese made from the milk of Manchega sheep in the La Mancha region of Spain. The cheese is aged for 60 days to 2 years, and its flavor and texture sharpen with age. Manchego has a firm and compact consistency, with a buttery texture and small air pockets. The cheese is ivory-colored, with a distinctive herringbone rind. The rind is inedible and protects the cheese's interior while it ages
Another good charcuterie board cheese, lack of versatility keeps it down in the rankings

Manchego too low for me. You get a good imported Manchego and it's the star of the charcuterie board.
I disagree on its lack of versatility. It can be used in grilled cheeses, mac and cheese, I even had a Spanish carbonara once with Manchego and jamon and it was incredible.

39 - Brick Cheese
Country of Origin- USA
Brick cheese is a cheese originating in Wisconsin, United States, made in brick-shaped form due to using actual bricks to form the shape. The color ranges from pale yellow to white with an orange rind
aka Detroit Style Pizza cheese. Not much else to say. Food purists can rest easy knowing that a certain other regional pizza cheese will not be making an appearance. Sorry St Louis but your pizza is an afterthought to most people

This is a top 5 cheese for me, definitely #1 for charcuterie boards, possibly #1 overall.

38 - pimento cheese
County of origin- USA
Pimento cheese is a creamy spread that's often called the "pâté of the South". It's made with cheese, mayonnaise, and pimentos, and is commonly served with crackers and vegetables or as a sandwich filling
In hindsight I’m not sure this should qualify, but I’m allowing it. Expecting those south of the Mason Dixon line will be ok with its inclusion.
Fear not , there are still several entries likely to elicit some debate, but we won’t see those until the top 20
It’ll be smooth sailing on the seas of cheese for a bit

I like pimento cheese, but you are really using cheese loosely here (which I'm fine with). It's usually a cheddar cheese "dip". Seems redundant.

It's biggest place is probably the fancy "queso" that many Americans love at Mexican places.
"Queso" is white American pasteurized processed cheese food product. The cheapest stuff you can buy at the deli.
So impressive. Convince Americans that the cheapest cheese they can buy at the grocery store is some fancy Mexican cheese.
Just as impressive as take-out Asian places selling Americans on mayo and sugar being a fancy Asian sauce.

Well, I'm running down the road tryin' to tighten my load
I've got fifty cheeses on my mind
Four go with bologna, two come from Sonoma
others grate down to the rind
Take it easy, enjoy that cheesy
Don't let the size of parm wheels drive you crazy
Sometimes it’s from a can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand and enjoy cheesy
Well, I'm turning round the corner, inside my local Kroger
And such a fine sight to see
It's a smorgasbord, of cheeses Lord
Slowin' down to take a look at Brie
Sample Lady, don't say maybe
I gotta know about curds you just gave me
Feta, Orda and Edam
I may never poop again
So get’s back to the list from Lamb, he makes it cheesy

This is another in a long list of reasons why Tex-Mex/Mexican is rarely good outside of the SW US. Only the real bottom of the barrel places use American as the full queso recipe. Adding a little to get the sodium citrate in there is common for restaurants if they don't use sodium citrate on its own but legit places will at a minimum add other cheeses like Oaxaca, Asadero, etc.

42 - cheez-whiz
Country of origin - USA
Cheez Whiz is a processed cheese sauce or spread made by Kraft Foods. It was first sold in 1952 and is still in production today. Cheez Whiz is a creamy cheese dip made with real cheese and has a mild cheddar taste. It can be used as a topping for steak sandwiches, burgers, French fries, and nachos
It’s cheese enough for me. It has its uses, like being a subpar option for cheesesteaks. Might be what they use on chili cheese fries at some places
oops.. missed this one.

36. Taleggio
Country of origin- Italy
Taleggio is a semisoft, washed-rind cheese from the Valtaleggio region of northern Italy. It has a strong aroma but a mild flavor with a fruity tang. The cheese is made from cow's milk and has a distinctive rind. During the aging process, the flat, square wheels are washed with a salt brine, which gives the cheese its characteristic aroma and rind
Good cheese plate cheese, fun to say.

Tallegio smells like a pair of socks that have been worn everyday for 10 years without being washed, then dipped in feces.
It still deserves a higher ranking than cheez whiz.
