This cheese doesn't just have a great name but a great taste as well. It's made in the same way that Gouda is made, but this Holland farm uses their sheep's milk instead of cows. The sheep roam free and are well fed, the wife of the farmer even says that she feeds her sheep better than her sons! Well, whatever they're doing over there, it's working. This cheese is deliciously sweet. It's a bit dry and gritty but with a nice finish. There's notes of toffee, caramel, honey and an underlying nuttiness.
How to eat:
Definitely as a snack or part of a dessert course. You could easily munch on this cheese with a handful of nuts or on a sweet baguette drizzled with honey.
Pairing:
We enjoyed this cheese with a nice Cabernet Sauvignon, it paired quite well. It would also pair nicely with a malty, nutty beer.
Where to buy: This particular Ewephoria was found at Nugget Market, $8.51 for 5.9 ounces. It is also available online at Murrays Cheese, half pound blocks all the way to 10 pounds and $19 a pound.
