i picked up some 'bergader' today. german blue. according to cheese.com, the pate (i'm guessing the unveined/mouldy part) is soft and uncooked, with large blue veins. it has a strong and piquant taste. i'm just letting it warm up before i eat it.
Maybe now would be a good time to ask this: back when I used to take French, our professor brought in some triple-creme cheese (something like that) that's a popular breakfast cheese. Know what it is?
as far as i know that is just extremely high fat cheese - 75% or so.
there are a lot of triple cream cheeses though, so i can't pinpoint which one.

Okay, that's what I figured, nestor. Thanks, though.
the bergader is intense! lovin' it
went to the specialty cheese store today.

You should try brunost (brown cheese, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brunost ), although it's not really a cheese. Quite good with strawberry jam.
Sounds fantastic. Hopefully there are enough Scandinavian/interested people in Canada to warrant the import of this stuff! I'll look around.
or i could mail you some...or not
oh, and knives don't work well with brown cheese, so you'll need a cheese slicer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheese_slicer
also, the ones with just a wire are useless because you want really thin slices
when i was in toronto i went to a good beer bar - volo
we ordered a cheese plate. it was actually so divine. spanish and portuguese cheeses, raw goat, goat, cow blue... list goes on and on.

Okra? Because okra is amazing.
i doubt monks make okra.

why is american (processed) cheese so foul when consumed without heat?
put it in a grilled cheese sandwich or on a burger and it isn't that bad though (i prefer more flavorful cheese, like a blue, on my burgers).

you should try to find this sarvecchio parmesan from sartori cheese. it's very sweet and delicious and probably my favorite parmesan.
also good for simple stuff like cheese & crackers is crowley cheese from vermont.
