Oh my gosh, how is it that I’ve NEVER heard of thi cheese before??! I’m a huge cheese fan, and I eat a lot of different cheese varieties. One of my favorite moments while grocery shopping is perusing the exotic cheese bin, and I’m taking my honeymoon in France and am SUPER excited to try the cheeses!
