Cheese Freak: St. Felicien Du Dauphine


At the grocery store the other day, I had to stock up on my cheese.  Now, I love cheese a lot more than the average person.  It's actually kind of weird.  Don't judge me.

The cheese section in a Paris grocery store is vastly different than the one I'm used to at Stop n Shop in Connecticut.  In Paris, most people love cheese just like moi, and it shows in their "cremerie" section at any grocery store.  It's basically a huge refrigerated wall of any cheese you could ever dream of, from cheap to pricey.  It makes me want to cry with joy.  

Cheese in the states is getting increasingly more expensive these days, especially the good ones.  You can barely get anything decent for under ten dollars.

But ce n'est pas la case in Paris.

I just bought a lovely wheel of goat cheese for 2.50 euro.  In fact, I bought two of them because I knew I would probably eat the first one within a day.

It's called Reflets de France: St. Felicien Du Dauphine, and it comes in a convenient little plastic case.  It's totally affordable and delish.  

Overall critique: A-

I will continue to feature different cheeses of all kinds, from both grocery stores and fromageries.  So if you're a cheese freak like me, I hope you will appreciate this section.
