So... what is the coolest, funkyest, potentially illegal-est cheese I can get at Fairway?

Or perhaps to put it another way, if we came to Fairway and said, "show me a cheese that 's really going to blow me away" what would it be? And why?

Fiance des Pyrenees, a washed-rind goat's milk cheese from Ariege (Comte-de-Foix); primitive, yet sophisticated in that it is so down-and-dirty that only a kinky- sophisticated, cheese-fanatic cheesemaker could have come up with it; custard-soft, excruciatingly delicious; same goes for St.-Marcellin and St.-Florentin, but not quite as kinky as Fiance. I want the video of Fiance.
