top snacking cheeses of the day

  • Maytag Blue Cheese: an american cheese. classic and creamy blue cheese with soft veining (unlike cambazola, where the veins are so firm that they can actually stand up on their own. ew.). this cheese is easily found in most grocery stores in the fine cheese section (usually near the deli).
  • Drunken Goat: a spanish cheese. more of a firmer cheese than regular goat cheese (like a very smooth gouda), this has been soaked in red wine. when you bite in, the first taste that you get is a more solid goat cheese flavor that's tangy and sweet with a firm but silky smooth texture. the after taste is where you get a hit of wine. this cheese can be found in many grocery stores, but it has become more limited. your local cheese shop would probably have it.
  • Beemster: glory of the Dutch, this cheese has a creamy start and a firm bite. tastes like a cooler temperature cheese and is an amazing snacking cheese that i can eat all day long. the website can help you locate it. this one is slightly harder to find, but oh, so rewarding if you can locate it.
