The menu lists them as “stinky cheeses,” but that’s certainly no comment on the quality of the fragrant, funky fromage at this Back Bay spot. The team always tracks down a lineup of varieties that reveal unconventional flavor profiles. Take the current selection of Italian and New England cheeses, which includes the standout Verde Capra from Piedmont, a rare blue cheese made with goat’s milk inoculated with Roquefort spores for a bright, grassy flavor. Pig out.
