Cheesecake from Jason’s Deli

$2.59 / slice

Tonight, Mike surprised me with a turkey sandwich and cheesecake from Jason’s Deli. “This could almost go in the cheese blog” he said.

So, here it is.

[Negative One on the Cheese Scale]

Raclette Swiss Bulk from Safeway

$15.49 / lb

~ Traditional Farmhouse unpasturized semi-soft

A$$!!! “It hurts! It hurts!” ~mike. It’s very rancid and painful. Tastes like it went bad!!! I spit! I couldn’t swallow it!!!

Fiscallini Cheddar from Cub Foods

$19.99 / lb

~ Bandage wrapped aged Cheddar from California

(aged 18 mos) very dry, very parmy, grates nicely. Mike likes the cloth. “Now that I know it’s not swiss, I like it a lot.” ~mike

This was the other cheese we accidentally bought, thinking it was swiss…

Applewood Smoked Cheddar from Cub Foods

$17.79 / lb

~ Cow’s Milk, Carr Valley, WI

Don’t taste the Applewood too much. Decent Cheese. Not worth 18 bucks a pound!

Mistakenly purchased this cheese in seek of a swiss. Oops!

Bass Lake String Cheese from County Market

$10.96 / lb

~ Smoked String Cheese

mmmmm… How could something from the same lake taste so much better?!???

Bass Lake Merlot Cheddar from County Market

$12.64 / lb

~from Wisc.

I hope the other cheeses in the fridge don’t puke on it! Dark days in the cheese log world… Winey cheese made me whiny.

Swiss Wisconsin from Byerly’s

$6.99 / lb

~Carr Valley Swiss from Wisconsin

NOT GOOD SWISS!!! Very parmy flavor. Too dry. Not very swissy. Too few holes, too!

National Valley Redstone Robust from The Wedge

$15.29 / lb

~ A semi-soft goats milk cheese from Wisconsin

Kinda tastes like goat cheese. “Clean & pleasant.” Uneventful. Solid but not exciting.
