Carreyroüs, Racer X

Sorry, that's kind of a reach/throw for anyone who might be familiar with speed racer. It's Racer X because I have pretty much no information on this guy aside from the bare bones. How's that for a disappointing intro? 
Origin: France. Deepest most mysterious France.
Milk: Sheep, unpasteurized
Rennet: Animal
Affinage: 3-5 weeks
Notes: In the crottin style, mottled rind and stunning to look at. 
Thoughts: The soft rind gives way nicely to a smooth and perfectly moist sheep’s milk paste. The flavor begins nutty and creamy, building into a sweet and bold, full flavor with hints of grass, and a milkiness like you might find in a mozzarella. No real spice here despite the rind, just a solid example of a young sheep's milk cheese.The aftertaste is clean and leaves you wanting more.



For anyone in the Boulder/Denver area, there is a cheese festival in Aurora on the 5th. You should all be there.
