Are You Even Kidding Me With This Appenzeller?

Welp, Ted's G-Pa has truly outdone himself this time. There are three types of Appenzeller: Classic which is aged three to four months, Surchoix which is aged four to six months, and Extra which is aged six months or longer. The Classic is silver label, the Surchoix is gold, and the Extra is black. So we open up the cheese and what do we see? Blam! Gold label in your face all day long. I mean yeah it wasn't Extra but come on, you gotta be expecting Classic and Poppa Alhanti hits you with the Surchoix. Whatta guy.

Body: Nice and firm, just the way I like it. You gotta eat this cheese all by itself. Putting a cracker up against it would just be an insult. - A+
Flavor: Very strong and definitely a little fruity and a little nutty. This is a full on flavor explosion. Face rocking flavor over here. - A
Overall Enjoyment: I mean it's strong. I loved it but I'm not sure I'd always be down to eat Appenzeller. You're comitting to have that flavor in your mouth for the better half of an hour. - A

Josh Says: Wash that Appenzeller down with some ice-cold apple cider or a tall glass of red sangria. It's just what the doctor ordered.
