Point Reyes Original Blue Cheese (8oz or 1lb)

Point Reyes Original Blue CheeseMy husband I recently ate at an outside cafe in Geneva, IL. It was late afternoon so we just wanted something light to eat with a glass of wine. We ordered a cheese plate that include a choice of three cheese. One of the choices on the menu was a blue cheese listed as "Pointed Reyes Original Farmstead Blue". It was exceptionally good completly outshining the sharp cheedar and the mild Wisconsin Gouda. So much so that I asked to take a copy of the menu home so I could order the cheese on the internet. Not as easy as I thought, but I did find it on Amazon and ordered it, after I corrected the spelling to "Point" Reyes rather than "Pointed" Reyes Blue Cheese.

It was delievered in a couple of days intact and as delicious as I remembered. This really is a standout blue cheese especially if you like a tangy sharp blue cheese. It is creamy but not overpowering and does not have the musky taste that some blue cheeses do. The only downside was the cost of shipping. The cheese was $18.00 for a pound but the shipping was unexpectely high at $26.00. The combined cost makes for a very expensive cheese. I'm sure I will enjoying eating this blue cheese and make certain that I perserve every valuble bite of it until it is gone.
