If ever there were a “sensuous” category for cheese, Ardrahan just might rock top placement. It is, in a word, plush. Picture a round cushion of a cheese, give it a satiny gold finish and a rich texture, then meditate on this: peanuts, wild mushrooms, a whiff of pasture. It’s cheese nirvana.
Full disclosure: This post is part of a series I'm writing for Di Bruno Bros., one of my fave cheese haunts in Philly. The deal is, on Wednesdays I get paid to guest-blog on the store's site (dibruno.blogspot.com).
awh. did you try this ??! it looks so scrumptious. i would love to test out variety after variety of cheese for a living, but i'm afraid my bowels would heartily disagree with the endeavor.
ReplyDeleteOhh, did I try it! Bien sur. It's a stunning cheese and not too fatty, which is quite amazing. Still, I broke out the Lady Gaga sneaker this week (hot pink and black) and went for a jog b/c there is so much cheese coming into this house that even I am becoming a little bit overwhelmed. It's a fleeting thing though. I love trying so many cheeses.
