One a day, plus iron

Festive cheese 3 was mimolette, which I rather liked. It was festive with crisp cider, pears and salami. I did not have any of those things so I ate it plain. It was good anyway but not suitable for grilled cheeses because too cow-y and also yellow.

Festive cheese 4 is a wensleydale with cranberries. It is festive with hefewisen (that is most certainly spelled incorrectly) and honey and prosciutto (spelled correctly). It's the first wax-enclosed cheese and while it is delightfully tasty, I don't think it needs to be sweeter than it is so even though I have honey... lolnope. I do not have wheat beer or prosciutto either, so plain again. I suck at pairings or else this cheese sampler is aimed at someone with a fancier kitchen than mine.

Festive cheese 4 is entirely unsuited to grilled cheeses. Nobody wants a grilled cheese with cranberries in it.

But if you weren't here two years ago, note that "Advent Cheese" was an advent calendar with like five kinds of cheese and not twenty-five. In that, it was a disappointment. I was hoping for twenty-five different kinds of cheese in an Advent Calendar Of Cheeses. While I dutifully ate the included cheeses, they were not at all what I was hoping for in an Advent Cheese calendar.
