Italian style cheese bites

Today's cheese comes to us, Constant Reader, as the result of a field trip.  I actually already had a cheese review ready to go for today.  I then discovered that one of my coworkers, who shall remain nameless, had never experienced the wonder that is Downtown Sobeys - Urban Fresh©®.  So, after making sure everyone had their signed permission slips, it was off to Sobeys we went.

While there, just like a magnet to another magnet, I felt myself being pulled toward the cheese section.  And I came across today's selection...

Anco Cheeses Italian Style Bites are, as the picture would indicate, round cheese bites, which makes them perfect for sharing.  So that's what we did.  The taste testing group consisted of myself (Captain Cheese), Clementine, Shredder, SanDee Hill, The White Russian and The Ar-Minion.  Here are some of the comments:

-This is pretty good.
-Ooh, me likey
-It's got a bit of a sour taste to it
-Is this goat cheese?
-It looks like goat cheese
-Does the package say it's goat cheese?
-No, the package doesn't say it's goat cheese?
-I wonder if this is goat cheese?
-What do the ingredients say about it being goat cheese?
-The ingredients do not give any indication if it goat cheese or not

So, as you can see, Constant Reader, our biggest concern was whether or not it was goat cheese.  After doing some further investigation, I can report back that (drum roll, please)  I still have no idea. What I do know at this point is that it was delicious, has red pepper, garlic, herbs and hot pepper seasoning, has a cream cheese consistency and is really good on Triscuits Low Sodium crackers.

It also comes in two other flavours (Mexican Style with red pepper, garlic, onion and spices and Provencal Style with chives, garlic and herbs).  I have not yet tried these other two but I imagine they would be equally as good.

At 4.99$ for a package of 17 bites, I think it's a reasonably good value.  If you were having a party and wanted to put this out with some other hors d'oeuvres, it would go over pretty well.  Or if you just want a snack, having two or three (or 17) of these on crackers, you can't go wrong.

And with that, I hope you all have an excellent Friday.  And remember to, above all,

Stay cheesy!
