My usual trip to the dentist isn't usually so enlightening but my dentist was talking about her favorite new cheese she had on a trip to California called Etorki. Says it's available at Trader Joe's & Whole Foods. Can anyone recommend this...other than my dentist?

Today's magazine of choice to pass the time was Metropolitan Home and they had a yummy looking feature on the the Corson Building in Seattle. The recipes looked so delicious, especially the Sauteed Porcini with Grapes, Almonds and Chicory. Wondering if Traca has been there?

I've had Basque cheese from TJ's, didn't know it was called Etorki.

(This description is from "All About French Cheeses".)

Etorki comes from French Basque region and is produced in Mauléon. The secret of its taste is in its traditional production process from selected ewe's milk.

The character of this cheese comes from the manechs (ewes from French Pays Basque, with a black head). In the Etorki, each loaf is formed by hand, rubbed and packed.

Etorki has a brown hard rind but is really smooth and pleasant on the palate. It is a mild, aromatic cheese that melts in the mouth, a sliced cheese with a dough and subtle ewe's milk flavour.
