Country: Germany
Type: Cow, wash rind
Ah, another Wednesday is here and it's time for cheese!
Today I had a wash-rind soft cheese from Germany called Rougette. Like a lot of German cheeses it tastes a lot like butter, with a hint of pasture from the washed rind. Very mild in smell, which is nice if you happen to have coworkers around who aren't keen on the pungent stink that can come with some German cheeses. The texture was soft, creamy, and melted like butter on the pallet. If you're looking for something a bit different than brie this is a good place to start, it has almost none of the ammonia undertones you get with a brie.
I paired this with some elk terrine and a duck rilette with a bit of peppadews on the side.
