My restaurant has a cheese plate, the cheeses on which change at least every couple of weeks or so. This week's plate has:
Cashel Blue - an Irish cows milk blue distributed by Neals Yard Dairy. Nutty, on the gorgonzola end of blue.
Delice de'Bourgogne - a French triple cream. It looks a little like Brie. Brie is often a double cream. This would be richer than that.
Ibores - a Spanish goats milk cheese, aged to a bite-y sharpness and dusted with Spanish paprika (which lends the cheese a smokey flavor).
La Alberca - a Manchego (Spanish sheep's milk) that is crusted with rosemary at the outset of the aging process which adds a wonderful astringency to the butteriness of the cheese.
We also have French fennel/lemon-cured olives on the plate as well as bits of guava paste.
Yum.

Sounds fantastic! I love triple cream (my cholesterol level doesn't, but I do and I have more votes).
I bought some fresh organic garlic and herb feta at the Farmer's Market today. It is yummy!

I was wondering that myself!
I occasionally shock friends by ordering a cheese plate instead of a gooey chocolate dessert.
If you're ever in Chicago, I highly recommend The Tasting Room (click on "eat" for their cheese flight menu in .pdf), very nice for an after-theatre bite.
