I found one in a local health food store called Drunken Goat Cheese. It's really very tasty.

My favorite is Dill Havarti.  It's fairly easy to find though, so you may have already had it...

Try chevre if you are interested in goat cheese.  It can be found rolled in various herbs and such for flavor but plain has a nice creamy texture that is very enjoyable.  I think the french have nailed goat cheese with this one. 

Gorgonzola is also great as you will commonly see covered in a little honey on bread with some fruit. 

For something different try pasta with spinach, onion and feta.  It is a nice pasta take on spanakopita. 

Queso Fresco is also great if you are looking for a more authentic mexican food experience.  I like it crumbled on tortillas with chorizo and eggs in the morning.  It is very similar to feta but not as hard.  It is classed as a farmer's cheese.  Fresh (less then a few months old), light if any pressing. 

Ah, the good old days.

I've tried a few of the Havartis, and liked them quite a bit. There's one, 'spiced Havarti' that is one of the best for baked potatoes.
Raw bacon is GREAT! It's like regular bacon, only faster, and it doesn't burn the roof of your mouth!

Have you tried cheese curds?  I have found that if you like a cheese, it's 10x better in curd form.

Isn't Infogeek from Wisconsin?  I think it's his duty to post a lengthy response to this.

Chevre is great. Like cream cheese, but firmer and more tangy. I use it a few different ways. Nice in sandwiches and salads, on crackers, or throw a few chunks of it on a plate of your favourite pasta and tomato sauce.

Cambozola is another very tasty cheese, kind of a cross between Camembert and Gorgonzola. It's rich and creamy like Camembert, but has the blue mold giving it some Gorgonzola sharpness.

You've probably had MOZZARELLA, but have you ever tried buying balls of mozzarella and heating them on the grill until they get warm and a bit melted?  This is a popular snack in Brazil that people generally eat before they bring out the meat.  It's really tasty.

What exactly does this cheese do to one's underpants?
