Lord Of The Hundreds , an aged Goat Gouda , Roquefort , and whatever else appeals when I visit Cheese Please in Lewes.
Gouda with cumin is nice , but it takes me back to breakfasts in Amsterdam - not necessarily a bad thing , but it doesn’t speak of Christmas to me.

Flower Marie is a stunner if you like a soft cheese with a rind (already mentioned).

If you're always slightly disappointed by Cambozola or Dolcelata, try Motagnolo - you'll never go back.

We always add a decent cheddar and a vacherin.

Stilton, Camembert, Sussex Charmer, Manchego and some Goat's Cheese.

For me, cheddar has no place on an Xmas cheeseboard. Nor does anything with bits of fruit or chilli in it, though Mrs MBH loves all that so I'll play ball.

My ideal would be a comte, a devastating blue and, of course, a Burwash Rose - the finest cheese in the entire universe.

I want to try the Burwash Rose. Do you get it from the Cheese Hut? What Blue would you get?

Xmas cheese is up there with dates and sugared almonds. Feel pressured to buy, but after all the other courses, who on earth has room left to eat? Nope, it has been scientifically proved you can get through the entire xmas period without the need for cheese.

An extra mature cheddar, Roquefort, black bomber, burwash rose, a stinky Brie, a Camembert and a Stilton.
And whatever I see between now and then that takes my fancy
