CG's Artisan & Farmstead Cheese Threak

that Maxx365 sounds like it is in my wheelhouse. Congrats on separating the bank from its money, I'd hate to think of the hoops you had to jump through to get those soulless pencil necks to agree.

New cheese! From two Wisconsin comers. Delicious and very unusual. Cow & goat blend in a dry-jack style but I find it to be more of a cheddar blue.

CG, when are you opening up shop? If I'm ever in the great frozen north I'll pay you a visit.

 

[Cary Grant]

As soon as I can find a space. Had one but the deal stalled. Still looking.

CG, you going to be wearing socks in the shop, right?

I will embrace full-on suburban Midwest dressing, flannel shirt, dad jeans and cute socks with pictures of cheese, goats, etc.
May grow a beard too.

Matt- hunt this one down. Fletcher reviewed it for the Chronicle last year so it is in the Bay- Cowgirl has had it at some point. Very nice.

Lou Bergier Pichin. Italian toma style made in the kinara style. Rare.

OK. Will do. We had some wonderful Bleu de Termignon over the weekend.

I've never had it- looks like it might be ala a cheddar blue in terms of texture and natural molds...

I'm finally getting around to ordering Robuchon's French Cheese Guide.

I got it at that place you sent me to. I guess it is pretty rare, because they were shocked anybody had heard of it. I had a recipe I was making that included a little, and the last time I was there I saw it out of the corner of my eye. After using what I needed, about 95% of what I bought was left, and we consumed a lot of that over two nights. It's really good. Texture is softer than cheddar, but it is not what you think of as blue cheese texture, or really blue cheese flavor.

When I was in there I wanted something I could carry and eat that day so I didn't look closely at blues. Pity.

Likely the only goat's milk blue from the British Isles.

Harbourne Blue from Ticklemore

Have you had the Kiss Berner Muentschi? I think I'm single handedly eating up the stock from my local Whole Foods.
