Green Calishite was a spicy cheese crafted in Calimshan. It was also sold through Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue.[1]

Description[]

The Calishites added curry to give this cheese some extra kick while preserving it at the same time. The spice also added a pale beige,[2] bright greenish, or aqua tint to the cheese.[1][3] Its taste was called rumnund in Calimshan and it had a long-lasting shelf life and was the least-crumbly among a wide variety of curry cheeses made in the nation.[2]

Prices[]

Green Calishite cheese could be purchased in the following sizes:[1]

  • Loaf, 1/2 lb. (0.23 kg.) 4 sp

Reputation[]

This cheese was considered to be far too spicy for the tastes of most northerners. It was said that a northerner could be incapacitated if they took an unsuspecting bite of it.[3]

Traditionally, Green Calishite was eaten by itself or used to thicken sauces. The cheese paired well with wines, cordials, and spirits.[2]
