Attended the Western USA Cheese Showcase virtually last week and I enjoyed learning more and sampling the various cheese during the session.
Here are the different farms we got to learn more about along with the cheese that we tried!:
🧀 @pointreyescheese (California) 🧀
𝐎𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐞
I rarely eat blue cheese because of the strong flavour but I thought this was less strong and it went well with sweet items like dried fruit and chocolate too!
𝐓𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐑𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢
This was very flavourful and there is truly that spicy kick with the use of Shichimi Togarashi in this cheese.
𝐓𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐥𝐞
This was my favourite out of the three because the earthy flavours from the truffle complemented the richness of the Toma.

🧀 @Tillamook (Oregon) 🧀
𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐮𝐦 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐝𝐝𝐚𝐫 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬
Aged for at least 60 days and were very smooth and creamy.
𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐂𝐮𝐭 𝐒𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 - 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐩 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐝𝐝𝐚𝐫
Aged for at least nine months, the flavour is indeed a lot more intense compared to the medium cheddar.
𝐒𝐦𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐏𝐞𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐝𝐝𝐚𝐫 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬
I liked how these have a smoky and spicy flavour, my favourite out of the three.
I generally loved how these cheese are in portions, making them easy to eat and store too.

🧀 @beehivecheese (Utah)🧀
𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐡𝐢𝐯𝐞 - 𝐔𝐭𝐚𝐡 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝𝐝𝐚𝐫 𝐫𝐮𝐛𝐛𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐲
The tea flavour was pronounced and fragrant, complemented by the creaminess of the cheese.
𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝗪𝐚𝐥𝐧𝐮𝐭 𝐒𝐦𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐝 - 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐬𝐦𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐧𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐬
The smoky flavour was just right, well balanced with the sweet creamy flavours of the cheese.
𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐁𝐮𝐳𝐳𝐞𝐝 - 𝐔𝐭𝐚𝐡 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝𝐝𝐚𝐫 𝐫𝐮𝐛𝐛𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫
The cheese is both nutty and creamy with a hint of the floral fragrance from the lavender.
I liked all 3 so much I couldn't decide on a favourite 😍
