Tasting The Mt. Rushmore of Cheeses, with Mark Todd, The Cheese Dude

Mark Todd, aka "The Cheese Dude" returns to take us on the ultimate cheese tasting to die for -- or, more accurately, a "Before You Die" tour. Mark has previously guided us through the pasta filata category (aka, mozzarella-like "pulled" cheeses), the cheddar category, the world of hard aged cheeses, and Alpine and smelly cheeses -- he has been my cheese Yoda for the past few years here on Pizza Quest and this time we go all the way to the summit. I asked him to guide me through four or five cheeses that he considers his Mt. Rushmore and, sure enough, this episode has, for me, fulfilled the "loyalty test" (that is, I tasted them when we recorded this episode but I am still enjoying the taste memories weeks later). Join us as we climb to the top of the Mt. Rushmore of cheeses you will want to run out and track down so that you can taste along with us.


For the record, here are the five cheeses we tasted and enjoyed with what I call our Meg Ryan cheese moments together. You'll know what I mean when you tune in:  Emmi Gruyere Kaltbach; Akaas 36 month Aged Gouda; HRVMNS Epoisses; Mitica Sottocenere; and Delin Brillat Savarin  Your local cheese monger will know what these are, or may have ones as close as possible to them.
