Week #11 - Danish Blue Cheese


Where do we begin?

This fantastically creamy blue cheese not only starts out with a bold exciting flavor - it also finishes beautifully. Because of its slightly nutty undertone, it couples exceedingly well with a red wine - our wine of choice, a Cabernet. As a side note, it is extremely inexpensive. Quite simply - a great cheese at a great price.

Brucie Cheese gives it a .... 9.8! His highest rating ever.
Sunny Cheese gives it a ..... 8.75.

Update ! Please go to the Saga week for an important Sunny add-on...

Week #10 - Queso Clara (Spanish Goat Cheese)


Slightly crumbly, dry, with a slight tang. Semi-hard. Not overwhelming in any way - it's just cheese.

This raw cheese is aptly named, because it leaves a barren earthy taste in the mouth. Not necessarily a bad taste, just not very distinguishing.

And by the way, we do think a cheese can play ping pong with our palates.

Brucie Cheese gives it....6.5
Sunny Cheese gives it.....6

Week #9--La Corte


This as a 3 milk cheese-cow, goat, and sheep-from the Piedmont region of Italy. It is a medium to light flavored cheese which pairs very well with a nice baguette. Very smooth finish, it starts out with a goat flavor, and finishes with a slight sheep saltiness. Superb.

Brucie cheese gives it a.....9
Sunny cheese gives it a....9.7 ! (Highest rating ever...)

Week #8 - Saga






This cheese is a mix of a Camembert and a Blue, and very tasty. It is somewhat creamier than most blues. Smooth, yet pungent. The blue taste is pronounced, but not overwhelming. Could be used in salads with a vinaigrette dressing.

Sunny Cheese gives it a .....9.5
Brucie Cheese gives it an ...8.5

A Sunny Cheese update - Sept 17 - since trying the Danish Blue Cheese, she has decided that the Danish is better than the Saga and would like to alter the rating for Saga to an 8.0. She knows not what she was thinking on that particular Saga day.
