Weybridge is an organic Vermont cheese aged at Cellars at Jasper Hill.
From their website: "Weybridge is a lactic-set cheese with a delicate, bloomy rind. The lightly-aged style is simply meant to showcase the Scholten's distinctive Dutch Belt milk. The white, edible mold rind imparts a subtle cave aroma and a mushroom character to the developing creamline beneath. The center is moist and airy with bright citrus notes and a savory 'toasted' finish. Weybridge's clean, milky flavor makes it an ideal breakfast cheese, or companion to a flute of sparkling wine. "
The rind of this cheese is what attracted me the most though the flavor was not less than impressive. The difficulty of course was the fact this soft cheese is runny once it's room temperature. I had to focus on the cheese first but even that started to ooze a bit as I painted it. By the time I completed this painting, it had pooled out a bit and I was left only with the task of eating it. It was a great lunch.
