This is a great way of learning about different cheeses, and what there flavors are.Gorgonzola is a stronger cheese, usually used for salads - very tangy with a stronger after taste, something I think everyone can really enjoy in that matter.
In contrast, gouda is a milder creamy cheese, great for breads.
Both will make you forget about the normal supermarket colby or cheddar. I recommend this sampler highly.
