The Jarlsberg Comin' in Hot!

Just cracked open the Jarlsberg and my-oh-my is it tasty! This specific block is a slight departure from the average Jarlsberg, as it is semi-soft. In many regards it is run-of-the-mill Jarlsberg: Wax-rind, large eyes (holes, for you laymen out there) but while Jarlsberg is normally very creamy in texture, This brick is a little tougher. But the toughness of the semi-soft is spot on; it lets the flavor permeate the mouth and also adds a layer of texture and complexity to the over all experience of eating the cheese.

Body: Like I said, tough but not super tough. It's challenging but you still know it's a Jarlsberg. - A-
Flavor:Just what you want from my man Sir Jarls; nice and buttery yet delicately sweet. Not quite as nutty as I expected but whatevs, I'm cool with it. - A
Overall Enjoyment: This cheese is fire, you should be jealous that I get to eat it right now. - A

Josh Says: Jarlsberg is great cheese to cook with. If you made mac and cheese with this Jarlsberg you'd probably have an orgasm.
