Primo Taglio cheese (from Safeway) is really nasty
We bought some Meunster cheese from the deli at Safeway recently, and it is the worst Meunster cheese I’ve ever had. It looks pretty normal, aside from some little tiny holes throughout it, but it smells wrong, and hardly tastes like Meunster at all. Meunster is one of my favorite kinds of cheese, but I can’t bring myself to eat this stuff. The brand on the label is Primo Taglio.
If this was an isolated incident, I would just chalk it up to one bad batch of cheese. But looking back, we’ve made the mistake of buying cheese from the Safeway deli before. We kept forgetting which grocery store had the nasty cheese. In the past, we bought Provolone, there, and I’m sure it was also Primo Taglio. It tasted like some kind of freak of nature, like 25% old Provolone + 75% extra-smelly Swiss. It even had holes — some of them pretty big, like domestic Swiss. I tried to eat it, because I like Provolone, and I like Swiss, but that stuff was disgusting!
Anyways, I highly recommend not buying Primo Taglio cheese from the Safeway deli. Yuck! Buy some pre-packaged/sliced Kraft or Sargento cheese from the regular cheese aisle instead, or buy your cheese elsewhere!
