Ordered the cheese because I was tempted by the spice mixture of tomato and basil. This cheese has convinced me in all respects, whether intensity, consistency or the great taste here just fit everything. As a result, it was eaten faster than expected. For the next order it is sure to place a larger piece in the order. I can only recommend this creation.
