Here are a few of my picks to invite for a (snack) session on the casting couch.<\/span>

\nPoint Reyes Original Blue<\/a><\/strong>

\nBold and unapologetic, but showcasing a surprising range, this is the kind of cheese you just can\u2019t say no to. With a delightful ocean-brininess set against a grassy milk paste, this Blue is anything but stodgy: the flavors are young and fresh- not at all musty. If her winning performance in Silver Linings Playbook is any indication, the ultra-likeable Jennifer Lawrence<\/a> would be perfectly cast in the role of Point Reyes Original Blue<\/a><\/strong>; even a stumble on the steps was an opportunity to recover with humor and grace. I can easily imagine her \u2013either Jennifer, or the Blue- knocking it out of the park alongside a perfectly-grilled burger.<\/p>\n

\nBay Blue<\/a><\/strong>

\nPoint Reyes’ newer Blue offering is -paradoxically- the elegant, more sophisticated sister of their Original Blue, with further flavor and texture juxtapositions to be found within. Poised yet complex, refined and deeply-evocative; statuesque beauty and Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain<\/a> would be my first pick for the role of Point Reyes Bay Blue<\/a><\/strong>. Veins of dark mold add a dash of welcome drama against a toasty-salted caramel landscape, and the velvety paste is studded with tiny crystals. Vastly more interesting than your average leading lady, the subtly red-hued Bay Blue would easily be the star of any cheese plate: the thinking-man\u2019s arm \u2026 err, plate\u2026 candy.<\/p>\n

\nToma<\/a><\/strong>

\nIf a cheese could be a leading man, Point Reyes\u2019 Toma<\/a><\/strong> would certainly be it. A slightly musty rind and pleasantly salty interior bring to mind rough-around-the edges, tenacious and affablee Ben Affleck<\/a>, who I\u2019d cast in the role of Toma (after Daniel Day-Lewis <\/a>inevitably turned down the project for something more serious). With a down-home yeasty smell that recalls fresh bread, what this cheese lacks in range, it makes up for in its ability to work well with a supporting cast. Much like Ben, paired with something sweet, malty or tart, an afternoon snack of Point Reyes Toma seems much greater than the sum of its parts. Try it alongside some apples, and a nice dark stout.<\/p>\n
