Don't fear the cheese. Finding properly made, aged and handled/stored cheese is the consumer's goal. Frequent the best cheese shop in your area and establish a relationship (bake them some cookies). Convey your trepidation but also your preferences and tell them your want to evolve your cheese palate. A good piece of cheese no matter the kind should have a balanced clean flavor. So the first step is finding cheese with integrity. A properly made "stinky" cheese should not taste stinky. It should taste rich and creamy with different nuances, butnot skanky. It is hard to get the perfect cheese, especially those is this ripened, runny smelly category. That's why befriending the cheese monger is a good plan. They know there inventory. |
