Stinky Cheese Wednesday, February 25th, 2015

Yesterday’s Cheese Bearer contracted a wretched case of the Creeping Crud and was unable to bring in the delectables for Stinky Cheese Tuesday, so SCT is SCW this week. And it is a doozy!

Starting at the top is the ever popular Marco Polo by Beechers. This stuff is beautiful. It is their Flagship cheese with green and black peppercorns thrown in for good and savory measure. It has been a very popular cheese today.

On the bottom left is Comté by Esprit de Liberté. This close relative of Gruyere packs quite a powerful flavor and smell. It is one of the stronger cheeses that most people still handle well.

In the middle is Midnight Moon by Cyprus Grove. This is the clear winner of the day. Strong, goaty, gritty, and just plain packed with flavor, this is simply amazing. It is a truly wonderful experience.

Lastly is Castello’s Havarti Jalapeño. This one is super creamy, like most Havarti cheeses, and that cuts the spiciness of the jalapeños down to zero. It retains the jalapeño flavor but loses all of the bite.

Stay Cheesy!
