If your palate purrs for the acri...Dear Madame, <br /> If your palate purrs for the acrid acidity of Cabrales and rev' your pickup tires in the high school parking lot taste of Roque Rivers Smoked, Blue Suede Moo just isn't going to gyrate for you. It's not that kind of young sexiness. It's a more complex and nuanced than that, like Nicholas Cage singing Love Me to Laura Dern in Wild at Heart. Sweet, steamy and layered, not all upfront. <br /> Blue Suede Moo harkens to an older romance based in 1700s Britain called Stilton. One with soft, sweet notes (no pepper invited) of chocolate and stout, with a texture somewhere between fudge and buttercream icing. Since very little cheese that passes for Stilton manages these characteristics (with the notable exceptions of Stichelton and Colston Bassett Stilton)I am robustly pleased that a PA cheese can manage it. Mind you manage it and add a distinct shroomy accent native to PA real cheese, in this case that of gently creamed oyster mushrooms. I implore you to get a fresh slice from 9th St. and try again (let it really sit on your tongue).<br /> And gin? Juniper is daring but puzzling - these flavors will croon much nicer with a Troeg's Brown Ale, Samuel Smith's Imperial Stout or Lancaster's Milk Stout. Alternatively, try it with a new world muscat or the best tawny or vintage porto your budget can spare. And if you must further the decadence, add a little toasted walnuts, some candied citrus or dried apricots.Paulkeenonkeenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01701351018343483477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115083762819846316.post-41341871543701760402009-04-21T21:39:00.000-07:002009-04-21T21:39:00.000-07:00Now that sounds like a perfect pairing! :) I love ...Now that sounds like a perfect pairing! :) I love Keswick's fresh cheeses (they come to DC farmers markets) but haven't tried the Blue Suede Moo in a while.

Smaller wheel, much stronger taste. A little wetter than our other blues. Birch Run Hills Blue is a close second (and I'm pretty sure we have that right now).Alberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14920751737319212802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115083762819846316.post-32662468791007183762009-04-19T20:16:00.000-07:002009-04-19T20:16:00.000-07:00Albert is a very good person to ask about cheese, ...Albert is a very good person to ask about cheese, he takes it very seriously.Marisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15230374658230217397noreply@blogger.com
