The Watch List
These are not necessarily bad cheeses.
It’s just that time I bought it revealed a cheese with some noticeable
flaw—either a state of overripeness (which the honest
vendor did not prevent) or perhaps something more fundamental. A cheese can
move from this list to the “safe” list (with the appropriate warning attached)
once I can verify that a proper version is not out of reach. Baby Cow Ubriaco
will never be off this list.
Hairy = too sheepy or too goaty
NH4 = the problem of ammonium is one
of being overripe. It seems to most plague the brie-like cheeses (and some goat
cheeses)
Ardrahan (forgot)
Bethmale – can be very hairy (if aged too
long; go for a softer version)
Bianco Sottobosco – if you hate truffles or Sottocenere, avoid;
otherwise, enjoy.
Brie Fichely – can have peculiar flavor
Le Burge de Rocastin – can be hairy
Cabrales – can be overpowering, just know
what you’re doing
Capra Valtellina (goat) – watch out for
slightly hairy
Cathare – I think mine had gone over the hill (NH4)
Chimay – can be very pungent; must have
with strong ale
Caciotta del Lazio – can be a touch too tangy/sour
Coach Farm Triple Cream Goat Cheese (NH4)
Danish Tholstrup Marquis – can have
peculiar flavor
Fiore Sardo – ?when overripe
Garrotxa (goat) – prone to extreme
hairiness (if overripe)
Guilloteaux – hairy
Il Barilotto Capra (goat) – too sour,
barnyardy; weird flavor
Idiazabel (sheep) – hairy
Malga – can be too barnyardy
Monte Enebro – NH4
Picodon – caution, esp. when overripe
Raclette – strange taste when not melted
Robiola La Rossa (sheep’s milk) – warning
Saint Albray – forgot
Sottocenere – flavor can be acquired taste
Torta Ambros – watch out for very
fungal/musty rind
Ubriaco (baby cow) – beyond tangy
Indifferent/Ambivalent
These are cheeses that are either
ill-conceived or otherwise just don’t do a lot for me
Mushroom/Garlic Brie – ill-conceived, I don’t buy raspberry beer either
Don Olivo – forgot my issue here
Jacquin Caprin – just not worth the bother
Belgian Wynendale (odd taste, life is too
short; wait—maybe I’m wrong—I need to try this again)
Saint Marcellin – be careful, can get a
little barnyardy actually
Teleme – bland
