Cheese Pick: Der Scharfe Maxx

This week's cheese pick is Der Scharfe Maxx, a pungent, raw milk, Swiss cow cheese made by the Studer Dairy and aged six months. I love this stuff. It really knocks you out with a deep stink, but the taste has everything you love about Swiss cheese, magnified by ten. Drink it with a sweet white wine, or better yet, beer...yum.

We just tried Der Scharfe Maxx on New Years Eve at a restaurant in Boston. We just loved it but can't seem to find anywhere to purchase it in our area. Do you know of anyone that sells it?
Thanks so much.
