While visiting Dusseldorf this fall, we bought a bit of cheese that I could best describe as a blue-y brie ... or a brie-y blue! It looked much like brie with a powdery, white rind and had that soft texture rather than the crumble of a blue, but it was a mold/veined cheese so the taste was somewhere between the creaminess of the brie with the (sorry ... had to stop to wipe the drool from my chin) sharp tang of a nice blue.
But! I don't remember the name! Can anyone help?
(I asked at my local Carrefour but evidently caught the clerk on a PMS day. She cut me off at the pass and said "it's one thing what you ate in Germany and another what we sell in Greece" ... which would have been understandable and completely valid ... if I hadn't been standing at the imported cheese counter of a French supermarket chain, looking at Italian parmesan, French brie, and English stilton! Jeesh!)
