Rembrandt Extra Aged Gouda from Cub Foods.

$13.99 / lb

~ A Dutch Masterpiece

Fully ripened, tangy, slightly crumbly / cube and an appetizer, grate over pasta or veggies. “Watch out for the wrapper. I like it!” [sd] “Super Farmy…” [mf] Occasional pockets of juice. Yum!

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!

Beemsterkaas Classic from Byerly’s

$15.99 / lb

~ Premium Gourmet Dutch Cheese

It didn’t suck like the previous two. Mike thought it was okay. Samm didn’t. How could such an expensive cheese taste so crappy???

Iberico from Byerly’s

$16.99

~Creamy “Cheddary” Tang from Spain (blended sheep, goat, & cow’s milk)

We did NOT like it! Very dry – a hint of DRANO. Those Spaniards are crazy!

Parmigiano Reggiano from Byerly’s

$17.99 / lb

~Imported from Italy

Oily but nice flavor. Softer than your usual parmesian. **More of a special purpose cheese.

Pecorino Tuscano Fresca from The Wedge

$ ??? / lb

~ Young Sheep’s Cheese from Tuscany

Very dry, like parmesian. “Eh…”

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.

Belgium Goat Cheese from Byerly’s

$14.00 / lb

~Belgium

Too zippy! Okay (maybe) as a bottom layer cracker content.

Baked Gouda from Cub Foods

$12.79 / lb

~ smoked over beech wood, from Holland

“It was Gouda!!!” Creamy mouth. Love the baked crust. Samm wished it could’ve been just a little dryer.
