I like mixing it up with washed rind cheeses - Taleggio is a recent favorite, and then adding in something very aged and caramelly - a Noord Hollander or extra aged gouda for example.

I'll give that a whirl next time the cheesy urge strikes. Hi, Jeff: Cameron loves Taleggio, but I find it too stinky for my ladylike palate. :D
