Interesting that strong cheeses mellow a bit when they are heated. I'm thinking of a Swiss cheese called raclette, which I can't abide cold and raw. It's used by heating the surface (in front of a roaring fire or with an electric raclette cooker) and scraping off the melted cheese onto potatoes or another bland food. I think it loses some ammonia, and the warm goo is splendid. Mmmmm, getting hungry. I think Jahrlsburg is better in a melted state too. Enough. I planned events for a very early Sense of Smell Day in 1995, and it was a splendid event. I've still got the T-shirt.
