Just a note: read the alt text in my reviews. Space limitations in the post body are going to force me to do more there; I haven't really taken advantage of that yet, but there's additional details there.

I knew I was forgetting something. There's a bunch of places that sell specialty cheeses just before Christmas and, having a full refrigerator already, I missed them. Someone remind me next year.

Le RoulΓ© with Cranberries from Rian Soft fresh French ππ§ with added cranberries. Cloyingly sweet, this is like eating cake frosting. Very creamy and soft, with barely perceptible cranberry flavor. Very pretty cheese candy.

St. Saviour from Hoard's Dairyman Semi-soft Wisconsin π π§ with bloom rind in Camembert style. Firmer than expected for an aged Camembert, and far less pungent. Nearly indistinguishable from a Brie, it's very inoffensive and a good choice for those new to softer cheeses.

Brie l'Indulgent from Lactalis Semi-soft French π π§ with bloom rind. Triple cream richness. Did not run, even at room temperature, though past best-by date. Rind offers a bit of texture, but no typical mushroom or earth flavor. An industrial grade triple creme brie.

DΓ©lice de Pommard Soft French π π§ with added brown mustard seeds. Triple cream richness, the cheese itself is mild and melts in the mouth. The mustard is not at all hot, but is the main flavor, which balances the richness. A nice spreadable cheese.

Fleur Airelles from ChΓ¨vrefeuille Soft French ππ§ with added bilberries. Delicate, with a mild goat tanginess. Main taste of bilberry, which is like a naturally sweet cranberry and adds a second firmer texture. Spreads a little unevenly.

Petit PrΓ©fΓ©rΓ© de nos Montagnes Soft French ππ§ in Reblochon style but pasteurized, with smear-ripened rind. Bread, honey and oak aroma. Mild buttery flavor with hazelnut, mushroom, something unusual (but pleasant): maybe eggy/ammonia? Rich, creamy, doughy, melts in the mouth.

St. Germain from Blakesville Creamery Hard Wisconsin ππ§ with natural rind. Atypical over-aged sample. Woods aroma. Strong, complex earthy and herbal flavor, musky and funky. Heavy, with some goatiness. Very lingering aftertaste. This wasn't what this is supposed to taste like, but suited me.

Beecher's Flagship Cheese Semi-hard Washington π π§ in cheddar-gruyere style. A bit crumbly, but can be sliced. Dense, rich, brown butter note, it finishes with a balance of sweetness and cheddar tang. Should melt well. A very nice snack cheese, I'd like to try the aged reserve version.

Ewephoria from Cheeseland, Inc. Semi-hard Dutch ππ§ in gouda style. The center is delightful, intense butterscotch and toffee, with a nutty background. A few crystals. Toward the rind, the flavor dulls, becomes chewy and less creamy. The buttery sweetness remains in the aftertaste.

Deer Creek Private Reserve 5 Year Cheddar Semi-hard Wisconsin π π§. No aroma. Firm, bit crumbly texture with crystals so large as to be a flaw; I thought I chipped a tooth, then that there were foreign objects that would chip a tooth. Quite sharp, lemony, becomes complex with toffee note, lingers.

Campo de Montalban Firm Spanish π +π+ππ§ with thin green wax rind. A Manchego (previously reviewed) made with other than sheep milk. It was starting to dry out, has a more intense flavor of buttered nuts than Manchego and the flavor was lasting.

Champignon Brie from Hofmeister Kaserei Semi-soft German π π§ with added cremini mushrooms. Triple cream, so very rich, the flavor and texture of mushrooms are at the forefront. The pockets formed by the mushrooms create a more open texture than usual in Brie. I devoured this quickly.

A nice piece of cheese lore. I've heard that it's illegal in France to bring Epoisses on public transport, but I've never seen proof.
