seductive cheese

Okay, I'm not usually one for the gourmet cheeses. I love cheese, but the nice stuff usually goes bad before I get to eat it all. Being a one cheese-eater house has its disadvantages.

Last night, though, I had this amazing cheese. I was at a wine and cheese function for work, and one of the cheeses was St. Andre, which is this super creamy brie-like cheese. Yum.

I went online to find it today, and found the following description:
"With a taste described as a blend of the perfect brie mixed with equal parts of thick, sour cream and whipped sweet cream, St. Andre is a cheese for the uncompromising connoisseur in you... This sinful delicacy is beautifully paired with a light, fruity rosé or ale - and no cheeseboard should be served without it... To appreciate its nuance of flavors, we suggest indulging in this cheese at room temperature without the 'distraction' of strongly flavored bread or crackers. Wait until the aftertaste of the cheese has 'set' before taking a sip of wine or other accompaniments. We know that, once you taste St. Andre, you'll want to indulge in this seductress again and again." (source)

Hells yeah.

(I think I'll be spending my summer in dairy detox.)
