creamy fresh, with some bubblies and a bit of acidic taste I love. I bought it in a small triangle, but it usually comes in a pine container, this only has a piece of pine that I tried to chew without knowing. I place some in a pan to heat it up as that's the way it should be eaten apparently. I want more, I feel its a great cheese to share with ppl. it has this lovely wooden thingy around, it can be cooked inside of it
