I don't understand why it's creamy, but then I don't fully understand the process. Nonetheless, this cheese is extremely tasty, and I mean extremely. Absolutely delicious and has salt crystals in the creaminess. Unusual in this respect. In a cheese sauce, if you go in too heavy this would remove the skin from the roof of your mouth. It's the absolute tits. I will definitely buy again. Fiery, salty and mature - it'll make your eyelids sweat. Not sure of the shelf-life of it so vacuum-packed immediately to be sure of 5 months+ longevity by which time it'll be weapons-grade and arguably somewhat agreeably antisocial. No visible cracks in the black wax which indicates their love of their product and good care taken during packing. Top seller. I wholeheartedly recommend.
