Default Delice de St Faron (CostCo)

It appears that Delice de Bourgogne has been replaced at CostCo by
Delice de St Faron. It's cheaper at $10 for a 19oz wheel as opposed
to $11/lb for the Bourgnone, but I'd rather have the Bourgogne back.
There's hardly any info about St Faron cheese on the web. They are
a fairly new FDA-approved exporter of cheese to the US.

St Faron does not have the slight ripe culture taste and is
one-dimensional in texture. The texture is consistently a whipped
butter texture, without any creaminess. It melts in your mouth just
fine and dandy, but with Bourgogne you had a section of the cheese
that was already melting, and gradually it turned into a more solid
form like the whipped butter, all of which was much smoother and
refreshing in the mouth. St Faron is just too uniform. The
difference in texture is like generic ice cream vs. Haagen Dazs.

St Faron is covered with that same fuzzy packing material as on brie
that gives me the willies, whereas the Bourgogne was foil wrapped as
they do with ripe cheeses. They both have an optionally-edible
rind, but the Bourgonges was more edible - more pungent due to the
mold cultures.

As far as cheeses go, with a 5 being "Edible":

Delice de Bourgogne 9.7
Delice de Saint Faron 7.9

Hopefully they'll bring back the Bourgogne.
