The new cheese store in Alexandria opened recently. It is La Fromagerie, about half way between US1 and the metro stop.
Zamorano
milk: Spanish sheep
Very much like Manchego, but aged longer and thus a bit harder.
Buttermilk Blue
milk: Wisconsin Jersey and Holstien cows
maker:Roth Kase
A very good blue cheese. MS said it was second to Pt. Reyes Blue. It was winner of the American Cheese Society “Best of Show” award in 1999.
