Whenever I'm at Whole Foods (or any market), I feel like I have to pass by the cheese department. Sometimes I just like to look at the cheeses and read a couple of descriptions. But, one of my favorite hobbies is to pick a cheese on sale that I've never tried before. Yesterday, Wensleydale caught my eye and I asked the cheese guy what Wensleydale was similar to. He paused and said, "not much." I thought he just couldn't think of anything as he offered a piece to me to try. He was right. It didn't taste like any other cheeses. The texture was like a cheddar but crumbly. It was light with lots of subtle flavors and on the salty side (which I like). I was instantly sold.

So far, I've been eating it by itself. I just can't resist pulling a chunk out every time I pass by the fridge. It seems like a great addition to a cheese plate, and probably pairs well with cheese and/or crackers as well.

Try it!
