Week #18 - Brebis Rousse

Extraordinary doesn't even begin to describe this cheese. It is called Brebis Rousse. (Sometimes spelled Russe.) A Sheep's milk cheese from Burgundy France, it is extremely creamy, with a superb finish. Very fresh tasting- you can almost taste the French country meadow ! It pairs exceedingly well with any Burgundian Wine--Red or White. (But then again, what doesn't...)

Brucie Cheese gives it a ....9.7 - I almost couldn't stop eating.
Sunnie Cheese gives it a....9.8 - I couldn't stop eating.

Week #17 - Drunken Goat

A bombed sheep? No, it's a Drunken Goat from Spain. This staggeringly good goat cheese is soaked in "Doble Pasta" red wine for 72 hours, giving it's rind the unique purple hue. (B and S are occasionally purple for the same reason...) It is a semi-firm cheese with a very distinctive flavor--slightly sweet, yet mild. As usual, Wheat Thins are the recommended accompaniment.

Brucie Cheese gives it a ....9.2
Sunnie Cheese gives it a....9.0

Week #16 - Tomme Crayeuse - (french cow's milk)

This natural cheese, right from the cow, is both creamy and slightly crumbly, depending on how close to the rind you are. Very flavorful and earthy, with a slight reminiscence of goat cheese even though it's...right from the cow.

Brucie Cheese gives it a .... 8.9. Anything deserving a 9.0 must be "exemplary."
Sunnie Cheese gives it a...9.2. Apparently Sunnie thinks it's exemplary.

Week #15 - Robusto (Holland)

This semi-hard, flaky cheese has a slightly gritty texture similar to that of Gruyere. It has a rich, nutty flavor, with a bold lingering finish. Very tasty. Pairs perfectly with Prager Port and Pway.

Brucie Cheese gives it a......9.6!
Sunny Cheese gives it a.......9.7!

Week #14 Bosina

Brucie Cheese and Sunny Cheese return after a respite.

This Italian cheese is made from the milks of both cow and sheep, as pictured on the label. It is an extremely creamy and soft cheese with a tender natural rind. Has a slightly sweet flavor, light, with a sheep finish.

Brucie Cheese gives it an....8!
Sunny Cheese gives it an.....8.9!

Will these two ever agree?
They agree to disagree and eat more cheese.

Week #12 - Irish Swiss

This enjoyable...sweet buttery Swiss comes from...Ireland! Kerrygold has all the good qualities of a swiss without that sometimes tangy sourness that other "Swiss" cheeses have. We coupled this cheese with Wheat Thins and an Italian Chianti. This is not your typical holey cheese. With this cheese - you get your full value.

What do our tasters have to say?
Brucie Cheese gives it a...8.5
Sunnie Cheese gives it a...8.5

Note: On Sunnie Cheese's fantastic recommendation, we tried this cheese melted on Garlic Bread. Well, let me tell you...It was superb ! And, it pairs quite well with a Dolphin victory !

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...
