Can I find a comprehensive list somewhere of all the religious holidays that my students may need to miss class for?

I remember trying to do this when I was an admin at a dance school. It ended up being a rabbit hole project for me, but a good place to start, if I remember correctly, was a calendar from the UN.

L'Amuse "Black Betty" Brabander Reserve Goat Gouda

Semi-hard Dutch 🐐🧀. Sweet milk aroma. Has crystals from aging. Strong butterscotch sweetness, with typical Gouda nut flavor and a saline tangy finish that isn't goaty. A bit hard and dry near the surface. An excellent untraditional Gouda.

Social media photo of l'amuse brabander reserve with labeled wheel and wedges. There is a black wax coat. The interior is a solid, deep yellow looking a bit crumbly at the edge.

Two slices of Brabander Reserve as purchased, unwrapped. The wax has been removed. It is solid, straw-colored, darker toward the edge, with a few irregularities.

Sawtooth from Cascadia Creamery

Semi-soft Washington 🐄 🧀 with washed rind. Yeasty, musty aroma. Strong, complex flavor, funky, savory, a touch of salt. Full, coating mouthfeel. Develops creaminess as it sits in the mouth.

Ad photo of Sawtooth cheese with a wheel and wedge. There is an orange-tan rind. The interior is straw color with many large irregular cavities.

Sawtooth as purchased in clear plastic wrap. The rind is tan, the paste is light yellow with some small holes that have been compressed in storage.

Brigante (Classic) from Pinna

Semi-soft Italian (Sardinia) 🐑🧀 with thin wax coat. Delicate milky aroma. Pleasant fresh cheese flavor with a touch of caramel. Develops a bit of sharpness in aftertaste. Available in flavored varieties.

Ad photo for Pinna Brigante with a labeled wheel and wedge. There's a tan rind. The ivory paste has many small irregular eyes.

Pinna Brigante as purchased in clear plastic wrap. It is a dull tan throughout, with a bit of label at the top edge.

Apricity from Alemar Cheese Company

Soft Minnesota (last cheese before move to California)🐄 🧀, acid coagulated, with bloom rind. Slightly yeasty aroma. Lactic tartness leads, butter and fermented fruit follow. Fluffy, fudge texture, melts in mouth. Had a very old sample.

Apricity ad photo showing packaging and a cut. It is a white ball with a wrinkle surface and a spongy looking white paste.

Apricity as purchased, unwrapped. It is much darker than the ad, very deep wrinkles except where the label sat.

Caña de Oveja from Mitica

Soft Spanish 🐄 🧀 with bloom rind. Unlike the goat version reviewed earlier, this log has a more solid, almost chalky, center. Earthy aroma, very lemony flavor.

Cana de oveja ad photo. It is a white log with an interior that looks like whipped butter.

Cana de oveja as purchased in clear plastic wrap. The rind is darker and thicker than in the ad and the paste looks more substantial.

Bûche de Luçay from P. Jacquin

Soft French 🐐🧀 log with bloom rind. Soft and mild, buttery, typical goat tang. There's more going on, but frankly, I'm confusing it with the next cheese I review.

Buche de Lucay ad photo. It is a log sold in a plastic shell. There is a thin white mold layer; inside that is a tan line, a cream line, then a white paste center that is solid.

Buche de lucay as purchased in clear plastic wrap. It is deformed from storage. There is a wrinkly outer surface and a soft paste that is yellower than in the ad.

St. Stephen from Four Fat Fowl

Soft New York 🐄🧀 triple crème with bloom rind. Over-aged, this had a liquid interior. Triple cream has silky texture, milky flavor. The rind gives a complex aftertaste of mushroom and earth.

Saint Stephen ad photo showing packaging, wheel, and cross-section. There is a thin white bloom rind. The paste had a thin cream line and a deep straw color.

St. Stephen as purchased in clear plastic wrap. The texture of the surface is lost in packaging. The paste is held in place by plastic, is very soft and somewhat less yellow than in the ad.

Fromager d'Affinois Brebis from Guilloteau

Soft French 🐑🧀 with bloom rind. I loved the triple creme cow version I reviewed; this sheep is more like a richer Brie, melting on the palate, with some texture from the rind. Did not have enough for a fair assessment.

Fromager d'Affinois Brebicet ad photo showing package and wedges. There is a thicker than usual scored tan bloom rind. The paste is straw color and oozing.

I forgot to photograph this cheese, thinking I'd reviewed it before. A tiny piece of it is barely visible in this photo of my last purchase. It looked much as in the ad photo.

Hot Pepper Colby from University of Minnesota

Semi-hard Minnesota 🐄 🧀 with red pepper (Cayenne, I think). Not typical annatto orange. Mild sweet aroma and flavor, springy texture, little acidity. Heat felt mostly in aftertaste. Colby, most common cheese of American origin, is unknown in Europe.

Blurry photo of hot pepper Colby as purchased in clear plastic shrink wrap. It is a light straw yellow with large orange flecks.

3 Year Garlic and Herb Cheddar from University of Minnesota

Semi-hard Minnesota 🐄 🧀 with garlic, pepper, and parsley. Somewhat sharp, crumbles but can be cut cleanly. Chunks of peppercorn crunch, garlic seemed more like onion. Probably the best cheddar they make.

3 year cheddar as purchased in clear plastic shrink wrap. It is an off-white solid brick with black and green flecks of different sizes.

Porcini have been slightly harder to find this year, it seems, mostly due to getting less rain in the Pacific Northwest, I imagine
