Cheese efforts

I have struggled with the cheese situation here. Firstly, the normal, cheap, every day cheese is orange in colour - yes, sort of bright, cheerful, feature wall orange. I reckon the same colour as Cheezels.
Secondly flavour. We started on mild cheddar, moved to medium cheddar, then sharp cheddar but it still seemed to have less flavour than the tasty we buy at home. This is Colby Jack, which looks like an industrial accident, and is a lot softer (harder to cut for sandwiches) but tastes a bit better again.
Thirdly, and I can't report on the Colby Jack yet, the orange cheddars didn't melt properly.
My theory is, we have to move into the yellow Italian cheeses, as the deli has such a strong historical place in the USA. Hopefully the next post about cheese will have a happier ending!
