The first one is Mahon, a delicious Spanish cow cheese with a strong savory flavor.
Definitely on the firmer side, and more oily as opposed to creamy. Sharp and not particularly smelly, it takes kind of like a softer, mild parmesan. I would definitely check this out if you're looking for a cheese to eat by itself, as its texture and flavor (to me anyway) are really good unaccompanied.
Have any good suggestions of locally available cheese that I should try? Leave a comment!

but yea CHEESE. love it. good idea.

I love stilton.
If you haven't been to Art of the Table, come check it out. My favorites include Ossau Iraty, Drunken Goat, Serena 3 Sisters, Quicke's Cheddar and a chevre with lavender buds (can't think of the official name right now).
If you come in on a Tuesday night I'll be there. :-)

@Beth ooh, I didn't realize they had cheese there (though it makes sense). I will have to stop by next week when my current stock of new wedges is gone!
