Whoa, I am eating this right now – it ain’t that stinky, more soulful – I can taste the grass and tell that the people who made this really care about what they were doing. This is the closet thing I’ve had to Vacherin Mont D’or – this is really really wonderful stuff.

Kara – Interesting, I got those dates from Cowgirl’s library of cheese. I know it was available by January when I first tasted it, and it’s still out now in mid-April. Hope it does stick around a little longer, I may be developing an addiction.

Good tidbit: as a long-time cheesemonger who’s very familiar with winnemere and jasper hill farm, though, just wanted to let ya know that you have its season wrong. Winnemere begins its season no earlier than March and really only gets into its best shape beginning in late April/early May.

I purchase a great deal of cheese both imported and domestic. I’m a cheese lover and have never turned away a sample no matter how “stinky”. I purchased some of the Winnemere just yesterday and I have to say, that while the taste was very pleasing, I could not under any circumstances keep this in my house. The foul oder that permiated throughout my house was likened to that of a dead animal found under your home in 100 degree heat.
