I am not a cheese expert.  I do like a variety of cheese from around the world and I like to try new things.  My favorites so far are sharp cheddars, fontina, havarti,  edam, cottswald,  brie, and port.  I tell you this because if you are of a similar palate you will want to steer clear of this cheese!!!It It is extremely pungent, with a nutty like flavor, odiforous, and somewhat gritty to the feel.  It also takes a long time to get the taste out of ones mouth.  Yes, even after brushing!!! ACK!!  I would only recommend this cheese to people who knew what they were doing.  My family and friends detested it.  It was gross.
