- Tulip Tree Foxglove Semi-soft Indiana 🐄🧀 with washed rind. Very pungent, like Taleggio. Gooey, sticky texture, very slowly dozed. A double cream, it's rich and spongy. Flavor is savory, with mushrooms in a complex background. Finish is mostly the funk from the rind, like an Èpoisses.
- *oozed I even checked for autocorrect
- Deer Creek Vat 17 World Cheddar Semi-hard Wisconsin 🐄 🧀. This 3+ year cheddar is bold and sharp, with a texture just shy of crumbly. Some nuttiness, plus some other flavors I couldn't identify (I had a head cold). Compares favorably to other cheddars of similar age.
- Mobay Cheese from Carr Valley Cheese Firm Wisconsin 🐐🧀 separated by ash from 🐑🧀. A fun way to compare types of milk in cheese. The goat half is tangy and bright, with a slight goat aroma. The sheep half is creamy and richer, with less acidity.
- Teahive Cheddar from Beehive Cheese Semi-hard Utah 🐄 🧀 with added Earl Grey tea. I'm not a fan of Earl Grey, but I liked this. The rind has a citrusy aroma and the tea tannins balance the sweetness of the young cheddar. Smooth texture, mild flavor.
