My experience is that there is phenomenal cheese on both sides of the Atlantic, so much so it's ridiculous in my mind to argue about who has the best cheese, because they both have the best cheese. It's a win-win situation.

The problem in both regions, if you want to call it a problem, is that much of the variety is in local cheeses you'll never or rarely see going outside of a zip code, state, or country (in the case of Europe). So someone will move to, say, Virginia in the US and conclude that they've sampled US cheese, not being aware of all the local cheeses in another state that never travel outside of the area of a few counties. The same thing can happen in the UK and Europe. The cheeses I've loved most have been from these local dairies, cheeses that don't quite fit into traditional categories, and that I can never find unless I'm physically in the area.
