Fromage Fort

So, Cheese... As promised... Sadly neither one of the cheeses that I tried today were in the "BOOK" (see yesterdays post)
Both were obtained from Whole Foods Market®... Pfff, 'Market' my ass. It's a huge, wallet ravaging mega store with more variety than most mortals know what to do with... Rant over. I actually love the selection but it can be a little daunting, plus I don't want to know what it is doing to local purveyors.
Back to the fromage. The stink. The milk pucks.
Todays offering were something called "Fromage D' Affinois Plain" and "Pave Du Nord".
The D' Affinois was soft, silky, creamy, slightly tart, reminiscent of a processed cheese spread without the artificial funkyness. Mild but tasty.
Pave Du Nord is a frim and slightly sharp cheese, sorta like a sharp Vermont Chedder but not as chalky and dry. Very smooth.

Over all I would and most likely will buy these again...
