snacking cheese: uniekaas parrano

the scariest thing about moving to detroit from minneapolis is that i would no longer have the wonderful lunds & byerly's snacking cheese. they essentially take a mini-portion of their fine cheeses as a sample size between $2-4.

at plum market, my heart skipped a beat as i found a small basket of fine cheese by the salad bar. each were approximately $1.50 and the perfect size for fulfilling any immediate, between-meal dairy craving.

today's purchase? uniekaas parrano. it's a yummy form of gouda made in an italian style. it's from a cow and has a lovely milky and slightly nutty flavor. texture is between gouda and parm. reminds me of my favorite: beemster. mmmm.

so, if you happen to see this cheese in your snacking cheese basket, buy it. buy all of it and sit in silent satisfaction while you think about dinner. mmmm.
