Just a random, impulse cheese purchase after a few week stint. “Starts out strong and finishes even better!” [mf] “I’m just glad I finally picked a winner.” [sd] It’s been a long time since we were surprised with a 4 Cheese one. We LOVE this cheese!

It’s very crumbly and hard to cut. The outside looks like a potato. Nice, long finish. We initially only gave this two cheese, but later realized it left us craving more.

This cheese came highly recommended by the super cool cheese salesperson, Dayna, from WF. She was also the one who told us about Gordonzola and The Cheese Mistress.
“It just tastes good! It’s unique. The flavor hits you later.” ~samm
It goes great with watermelon!
Last night was a most enjoyable dining extravaganza at the Texas de Brazil.
We deemed it Cheesy Adventure blog-worthy as we devoured at least four different types of cheeses, as well as a cheesy poof pastry… mmmmmm….
The cheesy delights were:
Here’s a photos of some of the goodies we left with (key lime pie to go, match box, after dinner candy, commemorative Texas de Brazil pen, and the traditional stop-go flipper).
Overall, it was a four and a half (out of five) cheese evening.

“Pleasantly surprised!” ~mike. Solid. Nothing exceptional but not a dog either. Mildly swissy. I would have added another 1/2 Cheese if it were swissier but still a good cheese for it’s price.
I melted it on our ham salad sandwiches earlier and it was grrrrrrreat!

Mike swears it’s the same as that smoked gouda from Minneapolis last month. “I enjoy this cheese! +++” ~mike. “It just melts in your mouth.” ~samm.
