The Kunik I've tried has blown me back against the wall -- it's been pungent and wonderfully oozy. Guess the issue is that these cheeses can be eaten at various stages, so it's hard to share the same experience.Madame Fromagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10303441163329031923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115083762819846316.post-16400780934657310822011-10-21T08:21:50.161-07:002011-10-21T08:21:50.161-07:00I think it's funny, and one of the reason that...I think it's funny, and one of the reason that I love cheese so much, that it is so palate to palate. I wouldn't call the Cabrie approachable, perhaps because of the density and bitterness of the rind. At least that was my experience with it. <br /><br />The price, however, does make it quite accessible and easy enough on the wallet to have someone give it a whirl without feeling like they're getting burned. <br /><br />And, I did forget to mention how much I loved that you had Nevat on there. A much loved, yet off the radar, cheese for sure.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15391451871882899226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115083762819846316.post-60058781221587519182011-10-20T20:19:23.975-07:002011-10-20T20:19:23.975-07:00S.,

The Cabrie is so approachable for the squeamish, such a little nectar nugget of easy loving goodness. It jumped out at me, but I think you've got a real argument for sneaking in the Kunik.Madame Fromagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10303441163329031923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115083762819846316.post-56978618018342363642011-10-20T19:55:16.458-07:002011-10-20T19:55:16.458-07:00The Cabrie?

It has a marvelous cheddar flavor--v. bold with wonderful salt crystals that lend some texture. I also think it has a hint of parm to it. Not having tried Cabot's or Quicke's yet, this has been the top contender in my household and I may have to buy a pound for a cheese party this winter...or at least Christmas! I finally tried a small sample of Truffle Tremor last week though, and while it was pretty good, the finace and I both preferred the Delice de Bourgogne hands-down!Kithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13674753671744432346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115083762819846316.post-55426950973589917372011-10-13T08:42:38.587-07:002011-10-13T08:42:38.587-07:00Andy, great blog!

I hung on every word of your beer and cheese recommendations: (http://www.weknowyum.com/about/75-ipa-beer-and-cheese-pairings.html)<br /><br />Uplands Pleasant Ridge Reserve with Yards IPA? I'm intrigued. Dogfish Head 90-minute IPA seems to be such a universal pairing with so many cheeses. I'm curious to try it with Morbier, as you suggest.Madame Fromagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10303441163329031923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115083762819846316.post-24505200913590825862011-10-13T06:47:20.295-07:002011-10-13T06:47:20.295-07:00Thanks Mme.

Incidentally, my cheese distributor (not amongst the list you mention) seemed to think I wouldn't notice if they slipped me Original Blue when I ordered Rogue River Blue. Both good cheeses, but come on! Andy Meddick for Rehoboth Beach Cheese Company.
