October 19th brought us Petit Frère from the Crave Brothers of Waterloo, Wisconsin. It is a small, washed-rind cheese with an earthy, fruity flavor. Not sure why I didn't eat this on my little brother's birthday...
The truth of washed-rinds is that people do not like them. They are stinky, they are a funny color, they generally aren't served to the masses. But honestly, just like blues, chevres, etc - you shouldn't judge a whole category of cheese just by experiencing one. I see changed minds every week. This cheese, Petit Frère, is a perfect washed-rind to slowly begin to expand your tastes.
