cheese round 2?

so i love the dutch saenkanter gouda (aged 4 years) that i finished off tonight. the flavor is sharp hard and bitey in a way that gouda isn't usually and yet totally stays true to that nutty depth that i love from gouda. i don't often buy gouda since the flavor is so rich and not very bitey. feels like a decadent lazy flavor like laying on a fur rug near a fancy pool in a swimsuit too expensive to swim in.
finished the grafton cheddar - also aged four years. can't even say how awesome the bitey of this is... WOW. but i went on about this before.
the basque tomme goat and sheep milk cheese - i liked enough to finish - but won't buy again. the flavor is a bit too milky for me. dark earthy milk - but too milky nonetheless.
alrighty. that's that batch.
