We were the happy recipients of Zingerman's Cheese of the Month gift. Installment two brought us French cheeses: Camembert, Brebis d'Ossau and Comte.
A cheese tasting was in order. With help from Holiday Market, we paired our new arrivals with a Kermit Lynch Graves and a good baguette.
The Comte is sweet, nutty and creamy. The Brebis flowery, milky with a little hint of goat milk tang. The Camembert is earthy, mushroomy with a cabbage-y scent and aftertaste (in a good way) with an unctuous creamy texture.
All the cheese were enhanced by the bright, slightly acidic wine.
What a treat for the gray days of January.
