La Tur, original artwork by Mike Geno

From the Cheese Portraits series.

This Italian cheese from the Piedmont area was suggested to me by my friend Madame Fromage, who accompanied me to Wedge + Fig cheese shop in Old City Philadelphia for lunch and cheese shopping.

I found the brainy rind especially attractive and cake-like. It's such a light yet dense delicious cheese. I'm hooked on yet another subject which I've devoured the moment I completed this cheese portrait.
