Lisa, good for you in liking cheese. The food is another source of calcium, which is important in preventing bone loss. The only way cheese is not healthy is if one eats so much of it that it becomes excess calories, or if one has very high cholesterol.
My favorite shopping trick for purchasing cheese is the small dairies around the United States, the ones who produce splendid cheese, but in small quantities, and so we don't normally get a taste unless we stop in at the dairy, well those dairies put together cheese gift baskets at Christmas and one can find them for sale on such web sites as Amazon.com.
Here is my favorite cheese photo. I had purchased a large round of some kind of expensive cheese from France. I could not cut through the rind and I tried all of my knives. I finally gave up and gave the entire round to my large Anatolian doggie. His name is Milo. He did not share the cheese with the other doggies. It took him a few days to eat it. He loved every bite.

I love cheese!
We have a lot of really good cheesemarkets around here, and oh, BOY!!
My favorites are the stinky cheeses: stiltons and bleus and fetas and such.
Dare I say it... I like cheese even more than chocolate!

I cannot wait to go to France next summer since my favourite foods are wine, cheese, bread, and chocolate.... I foresee a great deal of exercise and dieting when I get home...

Do not forget Spain. Some delightfully wonderful cheeses come from Spain. Yum!
