Notes:  This is the best cheese I have ever eaten.  Imagine if it were proper to eat fresh butter.  Then if that butter had a smooth, spreadable, but cohesive paste.  That only begins to describe this cheese.  I don't know how the Gritti brothers have created such a delectable cheese, but you should probably go get some, NOW.  I may have already bought the whole wheel from my Wegman's.  Just saying...
