Yet another Stinky Cheese Tuesday and it was a beautiful one!
Starting up at the top we have Sincerely, Brigitte’s Garlic Basil Jack. It was actually quite a bit mellower than I had expected, with the garlic flavor actually not as distinct as either the basil or the cheese. Very nice, with a lot of compliments.
Next up, going clockwise, is Old Croc Extra Sharp Cheddar, the first Australian cheese that I’ve brought in. It claims to be Extra Sharp, but unlike most everything else from Australia, it really has no bite whatsoever. However, it is a very tasty mild cheddar and does its county proud.
Saving the best for last is Sartori’s MontAmoré. This is Sartori’s BellaVitano with a new name. Apparently, they decided that BellaVitano was not a good enough name for it if it doesn’t have something added to it, so their plain old BellaVitano is sold as MontAmoré. I couldn’t care less what it is called, because this is a masterpiece of creamy goodness. It is salty and gritty, which comes with the aging, with sweet and creamy notes that make for a solid chunk of mouth watering happiness. My favorite by far, and most everyone else agreed.
See you next week, and stay cheesy!
