A Cheesy Denouement

So it's been a while since I posted about cheese. I mean, a really long time.

But, don't worry about it, Fromagination had a whole host of new items in from France and Italy!
Ach, so much love!

~Pecorino Moliterno al Tartufo (Italy)
Sour, pungent, salty. Airy once you get past the strength of the truffles & the sheepiness.

~Gres Savarin Fromi w/ Cranberry (France)
Light, creamy, fresh and like cream cheese but less thick & sour. (we got this one)

~L'Ulivo (Italy)
Smooth, deep taste. Hint of lightness and very creamy, hint of olives.

~Navarre (France)
Rosemary, deep, like cottage cheese but long & slightly round taste.

~Comte Aop (France)
Gentle, like Alpine flowers, like eating clover, deep and sheepy, though it's a cow's cheese.

~Brebirousse D'Argental (France)
Creamy, a changing profile of flavors: light at first, moving to an under-over creaminess, and then to a distinct but gentle swish of sheepiness. (I'm getting this next time!)

So much to taste, so much to see! Eeeeee, we will visit every week until we leave.

We also picked up two specialty Jeni's ice creams:
~Black Coffee
and
~Red Raspberry frozen yogurt

I can't wait!
xoxoxo,
Kim & Emmy
