Tarago Jensens Red

I've written about Tarago Cheese in the past - those posts were both on blue cheeses, this time I'm taking a closer look at their washed rind cows milk cheese called Jensen's Red.





The outside wrapper does give you an idea of what you might find inside - though it isn't so much red as orange



Slightly sticky exterior and those typical washed rind aromas do permeate the air - it is a pleasant earthy yet sweet aroma.



It is obvious that isn't an overly runny cheese, the texture is more cohesive, more elastic so to speak. Even letting it come to room temperature doesn't really alter the texture, it does make the cheese more pungent as you would expect.

When it comes to taste, there is a nutty, almost walnut-like hints with a good creamy feeling in the mouth.
