We used our last Arrowine groupons over the weekend. Mmmm Cheese! Lots of delicious-ness... We got more Brude Basil and it was smokey and delicious. For new cheese my favorite was Brillat Savarin. It was a triple cream with a buttery, cream cheese taste. It literally melted in my hand. At the urging of my friend Mike, we tried something new, quince Membrillo. It is sweet, like a jam but solid. You buy it by the slice. You put a little on the cracker with the cheese. Yum! Apparently it's a Portuguese thang. The next cheese was also Portuguese, Serra da Estrela. Nice, soft a little pungent at the end. Next was some French cheese that was liquid at room temperature. St Marcellin comes in a little ramekin type container. Not as creamy as I like but still pretty good overall. Next we have Arzua Ulloa which was soft and mild. It had a rind but not thick or chewy. Last we had Butterkase. The name would have you think it was buttery but not so much. It had a strong bitter after taste. It was solid and swiss-like. I don't like swiss. The pictures show all the stuff on the plates. The labels are there but you have to zoom in.
