The 16th meeting of the International Cheese Club commenced on May 18th, 2011. Members present were Moobs, Scott, Jesse, Tony, and Susie the Cat. The cheese sampled was a hoop cheddar cheese. It was served grilled on Italian bread and cold with mini-toast and apples.
Reactions
Smell:
Moobs- Smelled like cheddar cheese.
Scott- It was a nice cheddar smell.
Jesse- It smelled like cheese. Not much of a smell at all.
Tony- I forgot to smell it.
Taste:
Moobs- A very good cheddar cheese, not as sharp as some I'm used too, but still a very good robust flavor. It seemed like a high quality cheddar. Almost the idealistic cheddar cheese.
Scott- It's a good cheddar cheese taste. I like it better than the blocks of Kraft.
Jesse- By itself a canned chicken or cat-food taste. Tasted like the smell of tuna fish.
Tony- It had a kind of rubbery bite to it, but an excellent cheddar flavor. Very good cheese.
Best Application:
Moobs- My favorite was the cheese by itself. I felt like the applications got in the way of the flavor of the cheese.
Scott- I liked it on the grilled cheese the best. The butter used in making it brought out and balanced the flavors pretty nicely. A damn good grilled cheese.
Jesse- The grilled cheese had the best application, but the mini-toast was good. The texture of the cheese once melted was good, not too creamy and a lot of flavor. The grilled butter toast matched the canned preservative taste, overriding the weird after taste.
Tony- I liked the grilled cheese a lot. The bread was good and went well with this cheese. The mini toast was kind of gross, might have gone bad.
Final Thoughts:
Moobs- I liked it, interesting to try a different type of cheddar cheese.
Scott- It was a very good cheese, now that I've tried it I would probably choose it over other blocks of cheddar.
Jesse- I had some initial thoughts that this was government cheese, using Google I still stand by it and have a bias against it. In the end turned out to be a good cheddar cheese. Not much flavor though, you'd get more from a Kraft sharp cheddar.
Tony- An excellent cheese. Good substitute for Kraft cheddar. Everyone should try this cheese.
Susie the Cat: Liked it.
