Did you let it warm up first? A lot of washed-rind cheeses taste unbearable if you eat them right out of the fridge.

I used to hate blue cheese until I worked in a cheese shop; I used to not be able to drink black coffee until I worked at Starbucks; I used to not be able to drink IPAs until I started brewing my own beer; I used to not be able to eat anything spicy until I shoved my mouth full of hot Cheetos no matter how much it hurt until I got used to it, and now I have several hot sauces and can eat Indian and Thai and Lao and Chinese and Mexican food. 🤷🏻♂️ Do with that information what you will.

I used to buy Rouy often in the 1990s (I prefer cheese from my region nowadays). It’s a strong smelling cheese, even more if it aged. Unless it has an ammonia smell, it’s just powerful cheese.

How are you so familiar with the taste of decomposing flesh to be able to make such a comparison?

Millions of French people, including myself, enjoy this cheese, and are no zombies, go figure.

Thanks for the recommendation, I have had to subvert my appetites since I was shipwrecked with ~~four~~… ~~three~~… ~~two~~… ~~one~~… er, no-one else.
I’m looking forward to trying Roy again, er, I mean Rouy… haha, yes, Rouy.

This is definitely a micro aggression against Zombie culture. Consumption of decomposing flesh is a beautiful part of their cultural heritage. Maybe you should travel to zombie land and learn about other cultural expressions before spreading hate!

It’s pretty common for people to remove the rind on that one.

Few years back, my cheese guy suggested I try some Cowgirl Creamery Redhawk. And I did. And I loved it. But I didn’t finish it before I left town so I stuck it in a ziplock and tossed it in the fridge.
Get home a week later. Open the fridge. And I’m blasted with a face full of what smelled like a mountain of soiled socks and jockstraps. It was evil. It was the cheese. But after a few second the smell simply went away. Weirdest thing.
The cheese itself puts off a tank ass odor, but my god the flavor is amazing.
