I was in Silver Spring, so I went to Whole Foods. It’s not the best (they don’t cut the cheese off of the wheel like they do a real cheese shops, but it was the best I could do at the time). We also had Coffee Egg-nog with it.
Bel Paese
milk: Lombardy, Italy cows
Semi-soft, mild cheese. Nice.
Manchego
milk: Spanish sheep
As they say on Splendid Table, when you want to try out different cheeses, there’s more than just Manchego. But as I said, I was at Whole Foods, so I had to do my best.
Stilton
milk: English cows
A very good blue; we’ve had this before. I lost the label, so I don’t know what creamery this one came from.
