| | I bought some Morbier the other day and when I opened it is smelled so bad I tossed it. Definitely the smelly socks smell. Is it supposed to be that stinky? Have never tried it... | | | |

| | La Tur is a lovely cheese. There are some of the most amazing cheeses in Piedmont. Our visit to the cheese factory was a highlight. Yuuuummm. | | | |

| I tried some La Tur based on the recommendations of this thread. Initially, I did not like it but tonight, I threw a slice of it on some steamed rice and it was delicious. I also had it with warm, crusty bread and it was very good. | | | |
