Bonne Bouche part 2

So, after the sd memory card debacle, I only had 1/2 of the Bonne Bouche left. Not a lot to photograph, but still yummy. This is an ash-ripened goat milk cheese. Phenomenal cheese. I know I often say that something is one of my favorites, but this cheese is always in my top 5. Always. Even when I haven't had it for over a year and I feel as though my heart might break.

I did share with some of my co-workers. The responses ranged from "OhmyGod what is that?" to general lip smacking sounds while eyes rolled in the back of their heads. I also heard some moaning. Yes, this cheese is that good. If this cheese were a rock star it would be the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show, and I would be one of the screaming throng.


I want this gooey, creamy, salty, grassy, green veggie, goaty, milky, lactic, nutty, acidic dream of a cheese. I'm so sad that I have no more, but super excited that I'll be picking up at least a dozen of them at the VT cheesemaker's festival.

Mmmm. Between the pictures and your description, I'm in love with Bonne Bouche -- and I've never even tasted it!

Love ash-ripened cheeses, though. I couldn't put my finger on exactly what the ash adds, but it's brilliant. But, I've got to ask myself "WHO EVER thought of that??"
