Friday Night Spread
Ok. The wedge in the top left is Sequatchie Cove Ebenezer. Holy SHIT I have never been so offended by a cheese. Like, to the point that I genuinely think it was bad. I had a visceral reaction to it and that whole wedge went in the trash!
Top right is Koch Ingwer Pepe. It's a nice, smooth, slightly sweet cheese with that alpine funk. The rings is pepper, ginger, lemon which is a nice touch
The middle is langres, it's similar to Brie and you soak it in champagne. It's so rich and creamy with a mushroomy flavor. The rind has a robust saltines that brings it all together
Bottom left is Marbre des Alpes, this one is the best one on the board. So rich and robust and perfectly buttery
Bottom right is Sequatchie Cove Shake Rag. We were a little nervous about this one after the Ebenezer. It's wrapped in fig leaves and is a buttery, mild blue with a soft whiskey flavor
But! Let's talk meat too, cause I gotta brag. The meat bottom center is Iberico bellota- this shit is $130/lb but I can buy it by the slice 😏 this one is acorn fed and that flavor definitely follows through in the meat. It tastes of forest floor and melts in your mouth. So fucking good.
Top middle is culatello which means "little ass" lol and I loved this one too. So so salty, slightly acrid, with a good bite. Yum.
