| - oook. so about two weeks after we bought our last batch of awesome, tasty cheeses from here, three of them have spoiled in the fridge! two had hardly had any handling, so it wasn't from cross-contamination/leaving it out of the fridge while cooking. boo.
in my first review, i noted the cheese curds weren't squeaky- this can be due to them not being so new and fresh. well they were in far worse shape than i'd feared! the cheese curds went sour, the tube of herb goats cheese went bloated, green and rancid, and the parmesan grew some nasty green mold. the goats cheese actually went dramatically off in about a week. WTF?
our fridge is COLD and the cheeses are stored together in an air-lock plastic container and then each cheese is in its own ziplock/container inside there. some crazy a-type cheese sorting/storing, lemme tell you.
we transported the cheese in a cloth bag inside a backpack, so it couldn't have gotten thaat warm on the bikeride home. what gives?
i'm pretty convinced the cheese we bought wasn't very fresh at all. blegh. what a shame. it makes me think that maybe they don't do very good rotation or don't have very good practices to prevent contamination.
i feel pretty disappointed.
two stars instead of one because of the selection of cheeses, the friendly service, and for being a thriving small business/market icon. but seriously, come on guys!
