They’re hoping to expand the nut free cheeses they offer, as they know it’s an issue with people with nut allergies. Keep an eye out in a month or two for new product to hit the shelves.

Bar Ran Dun posted:I was getting all jazzed about a new vegan cheese to try and just noticed miyoko is oat milk based which causes me all the same problems lactose does. The cheese wheels from Miyoko's don't have any oats, if you haven't tried those. A little trickier to find than the blocks, though.

My girlfriend came back from a trip from Wisconsin and of course brought back a bunch of tasty cheese. One of those was a German cheese called biercasen (sp?) we opened it up and it was the foulest thing I had ever smelled, it was like there was a legit rotting corpse in my house. I tried it and yep, it tasted like a rotting corpse. I threw that poo poo in the creek. Only cheese I have met that I was not cool with.

Does the taste really outweigh the smell and the legality of having it?

TV Zombie posted:Does the taste really outweigh the smell and the legality of having it? Who knows! The problem is that the maggots are live, and eating the cheese could cause them to infest your digestive system and eat you from inside out. Some people eat the cheese by killing the maggots via suffocation (putting the cheese into a paper bag and eating when the popcorn popping sound of maggots launching themselves into the paper stops), but REAL connoisseurs eat it worms and all. Remember, this is pecorino romano that has been allowed to be infected with maggots and left to turn rancid as the larvae eat the cheese and poo poo in it. I can almost guarantee the flavor is not something a sane person would want. Sandwich Anarchist fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Jan 28, 2022 |

Sandwich Anarchist posted:Who knows! Something my Dad probably would've sampled. He brought home from Iceland (to Switzerland) this can of "sour herring." Now, my mother took one look at this visibly bulging can and said, "No loving way you're putting a can opener on it in here." So we took it out to the adjacent field like it was UXB and opened it there. Will never forget him squeezing the can opener, followed by this loud HSSSSSS and after that it gets a bit hazy because the smell could knock a buzzard off a shitwagon. When we got done retching, we buried it on the spot.

I have a historical cheese question. I was telling a coworker the other day about the Jackson Cheese (which doesn't have its own Wikipedia page), forgetting that it was actually inspired by a cheese given to Jefferson (the Cheshire Mammoth Cheese, which does). The thing is, coming from a modern perspective, being used to store-bought cheddar, my coworker just sort of assumed that such a huge amount of un-refrigerated cheese would be moldy and inedible after a short while. But the Cheshire Mammoth Cheese was presented to Jefferson on January 1, 1802 and was still around by the time of a public dinner on July 4, 1803. The Jackson Cheese (I forget if it had a distinct name; I know it from a podcast episode) was also kept for months or years before being fully eaten. So talk to me about these cheeses. How would they keep for over a year? How much is the answer to that question just the fact that they were loving huge, and any part that spoiled might've just been on the exterior and could be carved off to reveal an edible interior? But also, apart from the spoilage question: What might've they been like? As cheeses, how should I be thinking of them, compared to current cheeses I might try? (I'd say "I might know" if I actually knew anything about cheese.)

Mmm just got 6 pounds of violife vegan cream cheese on sale from food service direct. Good thing it turned out to be great. None of the off flavors some brands have and a perfect smooth texture, not as decadently creamy or quite as thick as real cream cheese but still awfully good.

We've got cans of Cougar Gold cheddar aging in the fridge right now... two from 2016, one 2017, one 2018. Can't wait to crack into one and enjoy that crystalization.

You can get Cougar Gold shipped to your door. Put it straight in the fridge when it gets there. There's a stamp on the top of the can that tells you when it was made (and the name of the person who made it). It should already be at least a year old by the time you get it, but the longer you keep it, the more crystals you're going to get. http://cougarcheese.wsu.edu/

Cougar gold is off the hook. I think Petite Basque is maybe the perfect snacking cheese. Mellow but interesting, dense and creamy but still sliceable, and the tiny wheels are adorable. I'm also a complete sucker for Cotswold because I like a cheese that tastes like Pringles.

I haven't been to the WSU campus since high school... I ought to make a visit some time too.
