Let us not forget about Casu marzu;

Casu marzu (also called casu modde, casu cundhídu, or in Italian formaggio marcio) is a cheese found in Sardinia, Italy, notable for being riddled with live insect larvae. Casu marzu means "rotten cheese" in Sardinian and is known colloquially as maggot cheese.

Now go out and give me your oppinion on THAT.

The future belongs to those of us still willing to get our hands dirty.

with that you join the pleasure of the eyes, a great consistance in the mouth and a developped taste. Plus the cheese "flowers" are decorative, and it's super fun trying not to screw the cheese with the blade

and Reblochon for her in doors.

hmmm - Tartuflette, mon amour! Tomorrow I'm driving to Strasbourg and I'm so going to raid the local supermarché for cheese and cidre bouché.
Just hope I don't get arrested for trying to smuggle all that stuff across the Swiss border.
Ciao,

The Tomme comes in the car so that I can munch as I drive home. yum..yum

I'm sure Tartuflette tastes just as good!
As for the motto, I much prefer "In Tartiflette we thrust (our forks)".

I know, I am just as bad at spelling French as I am at speaking it (which is to say, I don't speak it at all).
And if a wanted some tartufo, Alba is just about an hour's drive from home.

I'll have to see how expensive those are online. Just renewed my CH passport yesterday and was thinking that I shouldn't have eaten so much cheese the day before because my new pic looks a bit plump as compared to the one 8 yrs ago
