FUCHIBA
Fuchiba is a herb commonly eaten with soba or used to flavour Okinawan dishes, such as juushi (seasoned rice), hirayachi (okonomiyaki). Known as yomogi in standard Japanese, fuchiba is an Okinawan dialect word. "Fuchi" means "sickness" and "ba" is leaf. Fuchiba is a medicinal herb, traditionally used in Okinawa for stomach and digestive disorders. It's interesting that it was used in Europe in a similar way. The herb combines very naturally with the cheese, leaving a thin green marbling and giving a mild sharpness similar to Cheddar.
Serve as it is, on a cracker or bread.

All of the cheeses sold here are amazing, but Fuchiba is my favorite. I love yomogi to begin with, but when it's added to this cheese, it brings out a unique flavor that's both bold and delicate. Put this in your cart for sure.
