Anne Saxelby, proprietor and cheesemonger extraordinaire at New York City's Saxelby Cheesemongers, has made us blush again. This time she extolls the virtues of the Appalachian.

"But all the while, like the stereotypical shy (but kinda hot) girl at the high school dance, waiting there patiently in the wings was Appalachian. An unsuspecting cheese whose subtle graces and lovely sweet flavor finally caught our eye."

We could have hardly put it better ourselves.
