Pay $7 for a sales pitch, be rewarded with mediocre morsels
Muranda Cheese Company的点评
点评：We have been cheese enthusiasts for all of six days, so, as every influencer on social media has led us to believe, we are pretty much cheese experts by now, and Muranda Cheese Company provided the $7 tasting receipt to prove it.
Muranda Cheese Company is a tourist trap and was a lot busier than we had expected on a Sunday morning, but just being new to this cheese expert game, we really had no idea what to expect crowd-wise. The inner sanctum, the “lieu du fromage sacré et des craquelins,” as people from the French region of France would say, is housed inside a barn. It’s a pretty cool barn, with bright sunlight streaming between slats and spilling across the floor, but a barn nonetheless.
The part that gets me is charging for a cheese tasting. No crackers or bread. No jams or jellies. No palate cleanser or sip of water (unless paying separately for bottled water). Nope, just $7 per person for the privilege to subject yourself to their sales spiel in hopes that you will give them more money by buying the product they already charged you to taste. It’s a bit like paying money to go to a timeshare sales pitch…without the free water and snacks. Or a car salesman charging customers to even show them the inventory on the lot. If the premise is that the cheeses are somehow extraordinary or elitist and therefore mandate a fee to even taste them, we’ll get to that next.
“Eh.” That’s pretty much how I would sum up most of the twelve (plus a bonus) cheese morsals we were offered for our $7 fee. (See below for a list of my actual cheese ratings.) Most are fairly young-aged cheeses and lack a certain fortitude (my words). Some are just gimmicks, such as infusing scallions or horseradish into the cheese (though the horseradish was fairly good, albeit hardly an original concept). There seemed to be an abundance of cheddars and cheddar hybrids. Sure, perhaps a bit subjective, but cheddar is not a particularly pleasing or intriguing cheese. For my $7, I wanted to see some creativity and originality.
Did I dislike all of the cheeses? Absolutely not! Their Farmhouse Parm and BelCeillo are very delicious and much more in line with what I was hoping to find. And their Muranda Blue is the best blue I’ve ever had. But, I had to pay $7 to learn this.
Did we buy any cheese whilst there? Yes, a little. Was it a worthwhile experience? Kinda, despite having to pay $7 to be the test subject for their marketing program. I mean, it was time spent with my wife enjoying life, so in that regard, yes. Would I visit again? Probably not. There’s other farms and creameries around with better cheese who don’t charge you to taste it. Would I recommend Muranda Cheese Company to others passing through the area? Only if I disliked them and wished them to be $7 poorer.

翻译：整整六天，我们都是奶酪爱好者，所以，正如社交媒体上的每位影响者让我们相信的那样，我们现在几乎是奶酪专家了，而 Muranda 奶酪公司提供了 7 美元的品尝收据来证明这一点。
Muranda 奶酪公司是一个旅游陷阱，周日早上比我们预期的要忙得多，但由于我们是奶酪专家这个游戏的新手，我们真的不知道人群方面会是什么样子。内部圣殿，即法国法语区的人所说的“lieu du fromage sacré et des craquelins”，位于谷仓内。这是一个非常酷的谷仓，明亮的阳光从板条间流淌而过，洒满地板，但无论如何，它还是一个谷仓。
让我不爽的是，奶酪品尝要收费。没有饼干或面包。没有果酱或果冻。没有味觉清洁剂或一口水（除非单独支付瓶装水费用）。不，每人只需支付 7 美元，即可享受听取他们的销售说辞的特权，希望您通过购买他们已经向您收取的品尝费来给他们更多的钱。这有点像花钱去参加分时度假销售会……没有免费的水和零食。或者汽车销售员向客户收取费用，甚至向他们展示停车场上的库存。如果前提是奶酪是某种非凡的或精英的，因此要求付费才能品尝，我们接下来会谈到这一点。
“嗯。”这就是我对我们支付 7 美元的费用后得到的十二种（加上额外）奶酪碎块的总结。（请参阅下面的实际奶酪评级列表。）大多数都是相当年轻的奶酪，缺乏一定的坚韧（我的话）。有些只是噱头，例如将葱或辣根注入奶酪中（虽然辣根相当不错，但几乎不是一个原创概念）。那里似乎有大量的切达干酪和切达干酪混合物。当然，也许有点主观，但切达干酪并不是特别令人愉悦或吸引人的奶酪。对于我 7 美元，我想看到一些创造力和原创性。
我不喜欢所有的奶酪吗？绝对不是！他们的 Farmhouse Parm 和 BelCeillo 非常美味，更符合我希望找到的口味。他们的 Muranda Blue 是我吃过的最好的蓝奶酪。但是，我不得不支付 7 美元才能了解这一点。
我们在那里买了奶酪吗？是的，买了一点。这是一次值得的体验吗？有点，尽管不得不支付 7 美元成为他们营销计划的测试对象。我的意思是，这是我和妻子一起享受生活的时光，所以在这方面，是的。我会再来吗？可能不会。周围还有其他农场和奶油厂有更好的奶酪，而且品尝它们不收费。我会向经过该地区的其他人推荐 Muranda 奶酪公司吗？只有当我不喜欢它们并希望它们便宜 7 美元时才会这样。
