FEATURED CHEESE(S): Vintage Irish Cheddar and Coach Farm Button Goat Cheese
Click here for an explanation of cheese ratings
I wanted to like Vintage Irish Cheddar. It has a lovely label and it's from Ireland, my ancestral homeland. Alas, the cheese is only so-so: It's kind of dry and has a somewhat pungent aftertaste. On the other hand, the Irish have given us so much (Guinness, the Pogues, Guinness) that it's unfair to expect good cheese as well.
Much more enjoyable was Coach Farm Button Goat Cheese. It's crumbly and moist and has a nice, mild flavor. It comes packaged as a disgusting-looking ball (see above) but it's actually pretty good. I think of goat cheese as a pizza topping but it works on a cracker, too. Who knew?
