Can you get decent cheese in America? I'm not being rude, I just don't know. I've never see any American cheese for sale over here, but I don't know if that's because it doesn't travel, it's crap, or there are big import tariffs.
I know from watching Man v Food that Americans seem to put melted cheese on EVERYTHING.

US has quite good cheese. Here in Central America all the good cheese comes from the US, I've not seen a single thing from Europe. In the US you can easily get just about anything from Europe. Wisconsin is famous for its cow cheeses, NY for its goat cheeses. Biggest American made cheese, by far, is cheddar.

We certainly don't put it on everything, but come to think of it, there are a large number of dishes with cheese melted on top, or it's at least a popular option. Why wouldn't you? Cheese is awesome.

Super high quality mozzarella is made in NY which is why the local pizza is so famous. It's the place with access to the fresh cheese.

There are quite a few decent cheeses in the US. We have a few artisanal cheese and meat shops around here that make some amazing cheese.

Is "artisanal" a word? All I see is "Art is anal".

I think so? Artisanal - (of a product, especially food or drink) made in a traditional or non-mechanized way.
Chrome's dictionary doesn't say it is a word either though.

Cheese is indeed awesome. A few months ago I started a project to eat a different cheese every week for two years and I recorded my progress on a blog https://101cheeses.wordpress.com/. But, as with most of personal projects, after a few weeks I gave up.

I believe the correct word there would just be "artisan".

Gave up what? Eating cheese, or blogging about it? I hope only the latter.

Wouldn't it be artisan made cheese then? artisanal would be describing how the cheese was made which is what I was going for.

Both. I gave up buying a different type of cheese every week. Now I mostly just eat cheddar (and lot's of it), Parmesan and mozzarella.
I have high cholesterol, so really shouldn't eat that much.

We have some of the best mozzarella around here as well. My relatives from California rave about it when they visit.... these are self described wine and cheese snobs.

Haha. It doesn't look or sound right to me either...

Why don't any of these grilled cheese sandwiches have bacon on them? Seriously... or at least ham!

It's a marketing term.... it means "this product is made in a tiny place, using outdated and inefficient methods so we can charge waaaay too much for it". See also: Organic.
