Sardo

I had an opportunity to try a very nice cheese from Argentina. Sardo, a hard, tasty cheese is reminiscent of an aged Gouda, combined with the richness of Fruilano and the robust nature of a Parmesan. It's lovely in thin slices in a sandwhich, or just to nibble on. I got it at the affordable price of $3-something for a good-sized chunk. It has a hard, though edible rind, and melts nicely as well. I highly recommend it as it is mild enough for those who don't like strong tasting cheeses, but it certainly stands on its own as having a delicious distinctive taste.

8/10.
