Title: Gouda Three - Smoky
Post by: Frodage on February 05, 2015, 06:27:08 AM
I ate the last of Smoky today. Something changed between the sixth and eighth week: it became wonderful. When I first cut it open it was ordinary, just like the first two. I had stored it in the fridge thinking I would get to it eventually, until today I thought, "I'm hunkering for a lump of cheese."

Aromatic, springy, full mouth taste. Quite a surprise.

As a result, Big Smoky and Peace are staying in the cave!

Nice, Jim.

I gave you a cheese, since now you'll be ageing everything and won't have any to eat. :)

Trying to catch up on my cheese giving and your's deserves one Jim.   The way the taste of cheeses mature over time is so interesting and the reason I like to cut than seal the paste to give it more time and compare.
