Sevre & Belle Goats Cream Cheese

Sevre & Belle comes in like a hexagonaloid case and is French.
I like the case because it has a cartoon lady goat. She has blusher on and is wearing a spiffy green cardigan - she has been dressed by French Marks and Spencers I think.

The Cheese

It is a cream cheese what comes out of a goat. However, it does not do what some goat cheese does, like smack you in the tongue going "GOAT". It is gentle, subtle. Sophisticate.

This is a cream cheese, so it is for spreading more than gorging on chunk by chunk. I tried some of it acapella first, just on a teaspoon, and it is slight, creamy, with the barest hint of a sharp note, so I might have imagined it.

I tested it on both bread and toast. It spreads better on toast, but is fine on bread, unless you is eating that shit stuff that comes in plastic and falls apart when you poke it.

The texture as you take some out with a knife is almost fluffy, and white as God's pyjamas. When you spread it, it smooths out lovely.

Cream cheeses what have been made from cow milking sometimes have a bit of a heavy, dairy aftertaste. This don't. It's superbly light and doesn't generate any weird runny liquid like the other kind neither.

I am much impressed with it, and it is another reason why people should experiment with other udders.

Emmental

It's Christmas! Yay!

So this is a Quick Christmastime Cheese Commentary.

I have aten some Emmental. First I took it orally at room temperature. I had it neat.

It is like rubber but tasted less interesting.

I then melted it between two tortillas, making a kind of spartan quesadilla, only Swiss.

Melting Emmental makes it edible.
