Cato Corner carries around this time full vertical versions of many of their cheeses. You can get, for example,
Vivace Bambino, Vivace, & Vivace Molto
Womanchego, Mrs. Robinson, & Wise Womanchego
as I did (in addition to Gossamer, and suchlike). This year's Hooligan is about to be released they say.
But tragedy has struck. I bought these vertical tastings to take to a big family reunion in Leeds (complicated reasons) over Christmas, but that fucking Indian colony, the UK, does not permit dairy products being brought in. I looked at the list of what is and is not allowed, and there's a pattern: mangoes, guavas allowed, apples no. Protectionism anyone?
I'll have to drown my sorrow in Yorkshire Blue. Anything else?
