Le Maréchal

The cheese: Le Maréchal

Is it stinky?: Yeah, it smells like something Jesus didn’t finish at the Last Supper.

How’s it taste?: Well it’s smooth and creamy, with a distinct flavor of herbs and nuts. I enjoyed just taking a bite and letting it sit on my tongue as it either melted or broke down.  I still can’t figure out the finish on this, as it definitely leaves a distinct taste in my mouth that’s definitely familiar, but I just can’t place it.

It went great with the Petite Sirah I had, even though they suggest a Riesling. And I actually dreamt about this sharing this cheese. When’s the last last time you ever dreamt about cheese? Odd, I know. This cheese must have been that good.
