The Best Cheeses For Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

Citt Ratn Xin Pin Ta / EyeEm via Getty Images Culinary experts have tried countless combinations of bread, cheese and other ingredients in the pursuit of grilled cheese perfection. Mild Cheddar “Mild cheddar is always my to-go for a grilled cheese sandwich,” said Lola Osinkolu, a home cook and blogger at Chef Lola’s Kitchen. Sharp White Cheddar “The best grilled cheese starts with two thick slices of New York State Sharp Cheddar Cheese from Herkimer County Cheese,” said Bradley Wood, head chef and contributor to Adventures of a Nurse. “Salty, gooey, sweet perfection.” Emmenthal “I like to use three cheeses when I make grilled cheese: sharp cheddar, Parmesan and Swiss Emmenthal,” said Remy Forgues, chef-instructor at the Institute of Culinary Education. “For the best grilled cheese sandwich, the cheese has to be a good melter, of course, but it also has to taste like something once it’s melted,” she said.
