No
Pros:
Buttery, Creamy
Cons:
Overripe
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
This is the stinkiest cheese known to man. My guests couldn't help but think of things that it would remind them of down on the farm. They couldn't finish the cheese and it invaded the room. Be ready for the smell when you open it and reseal it good or it will stink up your kitchen.
