My vallagret wheel arrived yesterday. I'd already forgotten about it and wondered what in the world is this box until I saw Mississippi State University somewhere on it! Couldn't wait to dig in. I have never had vallagret before so I was excited.
MSU's shop site description of it is that it's similar to Swiss. I don't like the standard grocery store style Swiss with its low salt, bland 'is-this-just-soft-plastic?' vibe. So I was hoping it wouldn't be too similar. It does have a Swiss vibe, at least at first. After savoring a few bites it tastes to me almost like a mix of gouda and Swiss. In any case I like it! I wish it had a bit more oomph, but that hardly means I don't like it, I very much do.
Thanks Donw for sharing this. I look forward to the gift packs being back in stock so I can try the cheddar and edam.Comment

Grocery store Swiss cheese is so one-note. But you don’t have to go all super fancy to get Swiss-adjacent cheese that has decent complexity. Jarlsberg is my go-to for sandwiches and melting, and Gruyere for cheese and crackers. And Emmentaler is like “name brand” Swiss, it’s sort of “the same but better.”
