Not really many that don't go well (maybe American). Manchego, brie, gouda, the gorgonzola already mentioned. I'd probably steer clear of sweeter cheese -- but even those can be good depending on the cheese.

Yup. Isn't Stilton classic with pears?

Mmm, yes. Stilton is perfect, but other blues work too.

Agreed - practically ALL cheese is good with pears! I like all of the above and chevre, too. Asaiago. Cheddar. A sweet cheese could be nice in a desserty thing. Reading this thread is practically making me salivate!

brie is delicious. my husband loves a sandwich of a fresh baguette with brie, pears, and honey.

I would prefer a hard cheese- pungent and sharp with a perfect pear.

The classic Milanese combination is pears, walnuts, and gorgonzola.

I add diced celery and a dressing of mayo and 0 fat greek yogurt for my modified Waldorf salad. Super easy and raves from all ranges of palates.

one of the less salty pecorinos would be good. maybe toscano. definitely not romano. something really stinky might also work, like tallegio or cowgirl creamery's red hawk.
