I also buy mine at the local grocery or occasionally the farmer's market.  
Using smaller ones helps with the bitterness issue, as does parboiling them, 
draining off the original boiling water, rinsing, and finishing the boiling in 
fresh water.

Mild cheddar or a mix of cheddar and mozarella - I like the combination with 
the sweet spices.
