What Your Favorite Cheese Says About You: The American Edition

Celebrate American Cheese Month with a fun, flavor-packed personality quiz—because your favorite cheese says more than you think.

Let’s be honest: cheese isn’t just food—it’s a lifestyle. Whether you’re team melty, crumbly, or aged to perfection, your favorite cheese might be revealing more about you than you think. Ready to find out what your cheese says about you?

Cheddar

You’re a classic, no-nonsense kind of person. Reliable, practical, and always prepared (yes, you do have ibuprofen and a phone charger in your bag). You’re the friend everyone trusts to plan the group trip, book the Airbnb, and make sure nobody forgets sunscreen. But don’t mistake “classic” for “boring”—you’re sharp where it counts.

Monterey Jack

You’re chill, adaptable, and always down for whatever. Brunch? Sure. Karaoke? Let’s go. Last-minute road trip? Why not. People love you because you’re easygoing, drama-free, and somehow pull off “effortless cool” even in sweatpants. Bonus: you’ve absolutely made a quesadilla at 1 a.m. and called it “self-care.”

American (Processed) Cheese

You’re nostalgic, playful, and not afraid to embrace comfort food or life’s simple pleasures. You’ve defended the beauty of a perfectly melted cheese slice like it’s your job. You’re here for cozy vibes, late-night grilled cheeses, and unapologetically ordering chicken tenders at a fancy restaurant. You’re a warm hug in cheese form.

Colby

You’re the human version of “good vibes only.” Friendly, approachable, and low-key the glue holding your friend group together. You’re the one who always brings a dish to the potluck—and somehow it’s everyone’s favorite. You’re effortlessly likable, and dogs tend to gravitate toward you at parties.

Humboldt Fog (American Goat Cheese)

You’re artsy, a little mysterious, and your Instagram aesthetic is immaculate. You probably own at least one linen jumpsuit and have a playlist for every mood. You’re the friend who shows up to a picnic with a thrifted blanket, natural wine, and a cheese no one’s heard of—but now they’re obsessed. People assume you live in a cool loft even if you don’t.

Blue Cheese (American-style like Maytag or Rogue Creamery)

You’re bold, opinionated, and honestly a little intimidating at first—but totally worth it. You don’t shy away from big flavors or big feelings. You’ve been called “an acquired taste,” but you wear that like a badge of honor. You’re the friend who keeps it real, asks the deep questions, and will call you out (with love).

Pepper Jack

You’re the wildcard. Spicy, fun, and a little unpredictable—in the best way. You’re the one who dares everyone to add the extra-hot sauce or sign up for the mechanical bull. You bring the energy to every hangout, and people never know if you’re showing up with karaoke mics or margaritas (probably both).

No matter your cheese style, you’re bringing flavor to the table. Curious to branch out? Try adding a new American cheese to your next board—you might just discover a new favorite (and a new side of yourself). Explore more underrated American cheeses - Click here for our must-try list!
