Week #25 - White Stilton with Cranberries



This English cheese is our first cheese with fruit in it. Very sweet. Without the fruit, the cheese will be very tart, but with the cranberries - it's sweet, just like us.
A little known fact about this English breed cheese "A 2005 survey carried out by the British Cheese Board reported that Stilton cheese seemed to cause unusual dreams when eaten before sleep, with 75% of men and 85% of women experiencing "odd and vivid" dreams after eating a 20-gram serving of the cheese half an hour prior to sleeping."
I guess we'll just have to see....

Week #24 - Manchego


This 8 month old Spanish sheep cheese (say that ten times fast) is not for the faint of heart. Robust and crumbly, it's one of those salty cheeses, but in a good way. It's a bit nutty, slightly gritty, with a tart finish. Very complex. There's a lot going on, which is why it aint, for the faint...of heart. It's a good stand alone cheese, you don't need a cracker or a piece of bread, which is not meant to disparage.

Week #23 - Amadeus


This straight from the cow, Austrian Cheese, is mild in flavor, semi-firm yet creamy that's a reminder of when Swiss, Cheddar, Havarti, and Parmesan once met. It has a buttery feel to it and we think might be a great melting-on-top-of-garlic-bread-cheese. Definitely could go on eating this cheese in one sitting.
