Review: Delicious cheese - A delicious bit of extravagance. This cheese is mild and tasty. It worked very well with the cheese curler. The packaging for delivery was still cold when I got it.
Review: What a disappointment. Quality of cheese was fine - What a disappointment. Quality of cheese was fine. But I paid for a full wheel; as advertised. I received two halves that made up the wheel; as a result, I could not use my traditional cheese curler while entertaining guests. Big flop,

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unbelievably good
*by A***R on November 10, 2024*

I ordered this cheese to use with my new Girolle cheese shaver. I had no expectations at all, except that it would be a pretty presentation. But the taste is to DIE FOR! I will order more. much more. This is the best cheese I have ever eaten. It is so nice for a wine tasting. It goes with everything, and it is light and not filling at all. I also thought the price is excellent.
