Cheese: Etorki
Country: France
Type: Sheep Semi-Hard




















I had appointments at lunch yesterday so I had to do my weekly pilgrimage today.

Etorki is a mild semi soft creamy cheese, I find it has a nice neutral palette half way between a gouda and a mozzarella in flavour, and melts in your mouth like a nice brie. What makes this cheese fun is the rind, which has a slight stickiness to it and a bit of a pungent punch. A little leathery in flavour, but not so overpowering that it drowns out the mild taste of the cheese itself. Etorki is an awesome eating cheese, and I wager it would melt nicely and hold up to a wee bit of baking.
