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.

Deer Creek Private Reserve 5 Year Cheddar

Semi-hard Wisconsin 🐄 🧀. 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.

Caveman Blue Cheese from Rogue Creamery

Semi-hard Oregon 🐄 🧀 with blue mold. The aroma is the only subtle thing about this blue. Crumbly, but fudge texture and a few crystals. Strong blue and salt flavor, with a background of pecans, bacon, and maybe roasted root vegetables.

Campo de Montalban

Firm Spanish 🐄 +🐐+🐑🧀 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 🐄 🧀 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.

Donnay Chevre

Very soft Minnesota 🐐🧀. More tart than most chevre and the packaging allowed some moisture to drain. Very nice as a spread.

Vacherousse d'Argental by Fromagerie Guilloteau

Soft French 🐄 🧀 with washed bloom rind. Mild aroma, creamy texture, paste melts on the tongue and is buttery in flavor. The rind is a bit firmer on the palate.

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.
* In 1935, two Midwest postmasters held a much-publicized "cheese duel" over an ongoing argument about whether or not it was acceptable/legal to send stinky blocks of Limburger in the mail.

Le Jouvenceau Goat Camembert from Ferme de la Tremblaye

Soft French 🐐🧀 with bloom rind. Though goat milk, a classic Camembert. Pungent, but not overpowering. Oozes at room temperature. Buttery, tangy, silky, mild,with woodsy tones. The rind adds a slight mushroom note.

Funny Farm Goat Cheddar Cheese

Firm Wisconsin 🐐🧀. Remarkably sweet and enjoyably so. Atypical of cheddar and not very goaty either, but a great snack. Most of this cheese is packaged with macaroni, so I presume it melts well.

Hika Bay Gouda from Saxon Creamery

Semi-hard Wisconsin 🐄 🧀. Buttery aroma. Very young gouda, mild, milky, elastic, a mouth coating buttering and just a touch of acidity in the finish. The label's "almond and fruit" weren't detected.

Hard French (Basque) 🐑🧀. Aroma of lanolin and crème brûlée. Rind is chewy, paste is dense and tastes of nuts and browned butter.
