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

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

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!

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.

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

National Valley Redstone Robust from The Wedge

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