Cantalet


   Another great cheese and another first for me.  This french cheese doesn't taste the sixty days it has aged, it seems like a fresher cheese.  Without having the typical aged heaviness, it would be a good cheese for anyone.  At first it seemed like an ordinary cheddar.  Not that it's a bad thing but usually I try to look for a more interesting cheese, with a little more depth.  I was wrong though, the more I ate the more depth I found.  Nutty with a light earthiness.  It's a creamy, smooth, delicious cheese.

Mitica Gran Bu



   An interesting cheese, the first buffalo cheese I've ever tried.  It's hard and aged.  There's a definite nuttiness to the flavor.  You can tell it's not like a cows milk cheese,  it has a little twang to it that cows milk wouldn't bring.  Almost a gaminess to it.  A very very good cheese, not great though.  Being on the expensive side, I can't say I'll be buying it regularly.  Certainly though one to remember, and even if it won't be right away, I hope to see it again someday.
