It has been a while since I updated my blog, but I have been MIA recently in between accommodating in Florence, going to class, and meeting new people. Nevertheless, did I ever mention one of my favorite foods is cheese?
I absolutely love cheese and I always find myself in the quest to taste new types. So far I have tasted a big range: goat, frue, camembert, Roquefort, fresco, Burrata and the list could keep on forever. In Paris, I found myself asking for an “assiette de formages” every time the dessert menu arrived (aside from the usual crepe or crème brulee). They would bring a selection of various cheeses that were incredibly delicious, from creamy and gooey to sharp and dry. Brie has been my number one favorite for a while, however, I discovered (thanks to my dad) this incredibly unique French cheese called Saint-Marcellin that has now occupied a tie spot with my Brie. It was soft and exceedingly rich; I could have eaten an entire block.
I cannot even imagine how my cheese world is going to expand here in Italy; I recently found that Italians have over 400 different cheese varieties!!!!
