I feel sorry for
those whose cheese aligns less perfectly with the crackers.

Cheese that comes in standard blocks
is usually of a quality known in the Netherlands
as 'stopverf' (English 'putty')

It seems highly error-prone to me to judge cheese quality based on
what shape it's cut into before being sold.

There are plenty of decent cheeses that are cut into regularly-shaped
blocks before being sold (the widely available Kerrygold Dubliner
Vintage may not be world-class, but it's a decent well-aged cheddar
that's a far cry from putty). Likewise, there are plenty of mass-
produced parmesan cheeses sold in irregular wedges that bear no taste
resemblance to a good Parmigiano-Reggiano.

If it wasn't round before being cut in pieces
it's a fairly reliable guess,
