reminds me of my "how to make cheese from human milk" thread on wine spectator a year or three ago.  
I remember that thread. I still reckon drinking cranberry juice will create Red Leicester. | | | |

| Mezzo Secco by Vella Cheese Co. in Sonoma.
WOW! I love the pepper!
A semi-firm cow's cheese; (slightly creamy) with a slightly sharp interior. But the exterior (a black pepper coating was used to dry the cheese) has an almost sweet black-pepper bite that is a tingly contrast to the interior.
I would recommend if you buy some of this stuff to be sure you get a cut with as much of the exterior cover on it as possible.
================
I also had an Aged Prima Donna (Holland) and a Young Pleasant Ridge Reserve. I didn't enjoy either one as much as the Mezzo Seco. The Pleasant Ridge was interesting because it is milk from a single herd of Wisconsin cows so the grass from a particular pasture (do they call it "terrior" in the cheese biz?) supossidly makes it unique. I'll get these notes posted later. | | | |

Over the weekend I had some

| Nice. Shelburne Farms makes some great stuff as well. I used to live down the road from the creamery. Have fun. | | | "It's better to have your enemies inside the tent pissing out, then outside the tent pissing in." -- Lyndon Johnson | |
