Red Cloud

Every time I taste Red Cloud it reminds me of my trip to Spain.  With its punchy, barnyard aromas tempered by hints of toasted nuts and freshly-cut grass, this complex, washed rind round is likely to appeal even to those who fear the funk. Beneath a sticky, slightly gritty red rind lies a firm, creamy paste with a pungent, goaty kick. A star on the cheese plate; pair with dried fruit such as apricots, figs, plums, or muscatels, or substitute jam, chutney, or mostarda, and accompany with toasted nuts. For a savory version, serve with smoky charcuterie such as sausage, speck, or roasted chicken, and pickled vegetables.
