I'm glad to hear that you did not waste such a nice cheese.
There used to be a cheese shop in Tulsa that had around 180 cheeses available on any given day. I spent a fair amount of time and money there and often found raw milk soft cheeses. No idea where they got them. It made me wonder just how much or how little attention food products get when they are shipped through FedEx and the like. I may try that sometime.
Food in Europe is on an entirely different level than the US. We might have better beef, but they have better "everything else." Cheese, bread, cured meats... you just can't believe it. They take food far more seriously than we do and spend the time to enjoy it. I have a bucket list of destinations when I go back. Ive seen the architecture and the scenery; the next trip is going to be based around lunch and dinner, for several weeks. I'll fill in the time between meals at art museums.
The one country I might skip is Germany. I actually managed to find some cheeses and breads there that I couldn't stand, which I did not think was possible. I also got sick after eating some sausages, which I can't imagine happening in France, Italy or Spain.
