Torta del Casar
Cheese time! This week, I sampled another raw ewe's milk cheese called Torta del Casar. Torta del Casar is a semi-soft cheese, which I've seen described as having the consistency of pudding. My piece was a little firmer than that but it was still definitely on the soft side.
I found this to be a very delightful cheese... it had a smooth texture and a very fruity taste with a hint of nuttiness... slight tang in the aftertaste, but not overly "sheep".
Here's another review over at The Cheese Diaries. I don't know that I would call this cheese, "pinnacle of human achievement in the field of soft and semisoft cheese" but it was very, very good.
