Cheeeese Grommit!

The Opii Family Cheese Rating Scale
Ratings based on a 1-10 with 10 being perfection! Think of it this way, 1 is equal to cheese whiz from a can, while 10 makes one dizzy with euphoric glee! We hope to do this more now that we have found a true affinage (cheese finishing shop) in Madrid. In total they have about 100+ cheeses from around the world and a staff that knows them.

Below is our first attempt at tasting notes for cheese! When you see a (G) or a (R) it stands for Ryan or Gab whose opinion was unique.

Three Spanish Cheeses:

ES- Framatge Garraxta
Cabra
Hard whitish mold rind, interior a millimeter of tan fading to a light cream, medium hardness, light pungency with a fruit characteristic and raw crème. Creamy in the mouth with tackiness that coats the mouth. Slight sweetness. Rich caramelized flavor. (G) Thinks a light peppery while Ryan doesn't. Slight tanginess at the end.
R=7
G=7

Taramundi - Vaca Cruda
Ashen rind has a soft grayish mold similar to an Aspen bark. One half a mil. of dark tan gray thick rind and hard, quickly moving into one millimeter of dark crème color and ending with a bright white. Tangy and fruity aroma. Waxy, soft and buttery feeling in the mouth. Sweet tangy start with strong acidity and a salty backbone. Strong peppery quality (G), Light pepper quality (R)

R=7
G=7

ES- Sierra De Cazorla Tomillo
Outside is coated in Thyme with a white and forest green coating. A thin but hard rind. The width of the rind is quite small with a brilliant white interior. Smells incredible like thyme and the musky raw earth of a lush forest floor. Decaying leaves and rich loam. Crumbly dry with a delicate softness. Tangy flavor of strong acid with a touch of peppery olive oil. Slight grapefruit flavor from the acidity on the finish.

R=8
G=9
