   Had this a couple of weeks ago and just now saw it on here. I couldn't believe how much this tasted like heavy cream. Heavy cream that's solidified with just a touch of acid (minus the curdling) is exactly what this cheese tastes like. Justin said it best when he mentioned that it would be a great beginner cheese. Tasty, tasty stuff.

   This is such a great video review. We did a huge olive oil tasting to figure out what we wanted in our assortment (nationwide culinary retail store), and this was in my top 4 out of the hundred or so. This was up against oils that were 3-4 times as expensive. His tasting notes were almost identical to what I got out of this oil. That flavor he was trying to get, I remember thinking it was very similar to one of those little stringy veins on a peeled banana. Not too bitter, but definitely present.

   Wow! This stuff is so, so good. On its own, the blue flavor comes through very strong, but that intense creaminess brings everything back into balance. Better yet, it turned a very mediocre port (2003 Fonseca LBV) into something absolutely delicious.

   I really wanted to like this cheese more. It's not bad by any stretch, but I found it to be a little one dimensional. There were pleasant caramel/nutty flavors that came through HEAVILY, but that was about it. Nice cheese and for the price, a pretty good buy, just not my favorite.

   His reaction in this videa is perfect when he takes that first bite. This cheese is a palate time bomb. Starts off nice and mellow and then just goes crazy and takes over every inch of your mouth. Such a great cheese. Just used this for French onion soup topping and ended up having a few extra slices on this side.
