Hi,

I'm late getting into the cheese thread, but one of my favorites is an Italian called (usually) Mascarpone Torta. "Torta" means layered cake, so it's alternating layers of Mascarpone with Gorgonzola. Must be eaten at room temperature. Some cheese shops just refer to it as "torta". With others you have to describe what's in it.

In the stinky but great category is a German cheese called "Bierkase." Not certain of the spelling.
