The First Post ( Idiazabal )


Idiazabal
  
   Delicious.  It really is.  A semi soft, sheep's milk cheese from Spain.  Aged and smoked.  Mild, definitely  not strong but flavorful.  It ends more interesting then it starts.  Maybe a little nutty but not much and just slightly buttery as well.  The smoke is perhaps the most mild smoking of cheese I have yet to taste.  Not too sheepy either, it could easily be mistaken for a cow's milk cheese.  Never having even heard of it before, and I still don't know if I'm even pronouncing it correctly, it was a good buy.  I must say, being my first post, this cheese as with any other has many variations and this is my opinion on this particular one.  To wrap up, it's mild yet flavorful and very worthy of being my first review.
