Oh, my. It was bound to happen… on Halloween, nonetheless. I’ve met a cheese I do not like. There. I said it.
This was an unfortunate one… it was recommended by someone who shall remain nameless. When I remarked that Humboldt Fog was a personal favorite, they suggested I try this one. I’ve decided they don’t like me.
Le Lingot du Quercy would be a raw goat’s milk cheese, but because it is younger than the 60 day aging requirement imposed by the FDA, it’s gotta be pasteurized. Damn them! Maybe. Perhaps, just perhaps, the pasteurization process is so offensive to this cheese that it injects the distinct taste of… hmmm…. ass? which so offends me.
The cheese does resemble an ingot. Whoo. That’s about as close to gold as it gets. It’s a pungent, tangy cheese with a flavor that might have reminded me of Camembert were it not for the overpowering tones of, well, ass. It’s a runny cheese, nearly liquid, in fact, you could almost eat it with a spoon. Yum! Spoonfuls of ass!
Okay, I’m just going to stop now. I did not like this cheese.
