What to look for

A break that flakes along a plane. Bendy paste at eighteen months means it was pressed light.

Wrapped in leaves for the cellar, which is a handling decision that became a flavor one.

Brushed and turned in a cave, with whatever the cave grows allowed to form the rind. No two batches match.
