Week #7 - Goat Brie (Soignon)




Fromage de chevre.
A brie like consistency. Subtle and smooth at first. With a stronger more pronounced finish than just regular brie. A distinct goat cheese tang that is very enjoyable.

Brucie Cheese gives it a ....an 8.5
Sunny Cheese gives it a.......a 9.5

Week #6 - Taleggio

Quite disturbing. Take a diaper. Bury it for several days. Upon unearthing it, you will have approached, but not reached, the putrid aroma and taste of this "Cheese." Creates worm eating face...A must miss!

Tasters give it...a 0.5 (only because they went through the trouble of making a label and shipping it over here).

Update - Sept 13 - I was at a cocktail lounge in the L.E.S. over the weekend - and found this on the menu...as an avid cheese lover, I opted out of ordering this dish. I need more time after week #6's experience before allowing myself to try this cheese again.

Week #5 - Chevre

This classic French Goat Cheese is superb. Soft and crumbly. This flavor is delightful, but not overpowering. Perfect on both cracker and baguette. Also melts well in everything and great in salads.

Tasters give it....a 9.

Week #4 - Gruyere (Imported Swiss)

A slightly salty and some what gritty texture with a nutty finish. Awesome flavor. Perfect for French Onion Soup. Grows on you.

Tasters give it...a 9.

Week #3 - Asiago (soft)

A semi-firm Italian cheese with a distinct milky flavor. Slightly crumbly with a soft finish.

Tasters give it....an 8.

Week #2 - St. Andre

Another creamy French cheese. Triple cream. Ultra tasty and mild. With a smooth finish. Superb.

Tasters give it....a 9.5 - the highest rating to date.

Week #1 - Brie - Classic French.

Creamy and smooth with a semi sharp taste.
Liked by all...who doesn't like brie?

Brucie Cheese gives it....an 8
