Huge New Cheese Shipment 3-17-05
HUGE CHEESE DELIVERY
Robbie's been working hard to source cheeses where we can get in smaller quantities to ensure freshness. Some of the cheeses you have been asking for are now available. As long as you keep buying them I'll keep them in stock!
REMEMBER OUR CHEESE CLUB! If you don’t have a card already be sure to ask for one! For each two dollars of retail cheese you take home (bulk beer cheese counts too) you get a punch. Fill up your card and get a $10 Dilly Deli Gift Card! Sausages count toward your cheese card too – ask for me if necessary!
We've just received a huge order of cheeses - some new, some favorites that have been harder to get due to customs battles. These are in addition to the regularly stocked items!
GAPERON - From the Auvergne region of France. Made from cow's milk, the curd is soft, mixed with chunks of garlic and peppercorns and pressed. It has a white bloomy edible rind. We brought in two pieces to see how demand is for this delicious cheese, so don't delay!
CYPRESS GROVE HUMBOLT FOG - From Northern California, near the great redwoods! This is an aged goat cheese with a layer of vegetable ash and a bloomy rind. It is gentle, distinct and reminiscent of the gentle fogs in the area where the goats graze. I had some last night with pinot noir and it was excellent. I've had numerous requests for this - so come on in and get it! I have one cut piece and one whole piece (approx 14 oz). Earthy flavors also mingle well with wild mushrooms. Personally I would just nibble this instead of cooking with it!
PALACIOS CHORIZO – authentic mild chorizo sausage. This is great just to nibble and fun to cook with. We’ve made a chorizo and manchego quiche several times and everyone loves it!
NUESKE BACON - that fabulous applewood smoked bacon is now available here in retail packages. Decadant with breakfast and makes an incredible addition to a turkey sandwich or salad.
PETIT BASQUE – This is an aged sheeps milk cheese from the Basque region. It ages well, and gets denser and harder as it ages. I have several people who keep asking for this then never buy it when I have it in! I have ONE WHEEL (small), which I will cheerfully halve on request. Last chance before I discontinue this item (if you don’t buy it my brother and I will be happy to eat it, but I hate to see any cheese lover miss out on this gem.
FROMAGER d’AFFINOIS – our best selling double crème is back in stock!
FROMAGER d’AFFINOIS HERB – all the deliciousness of affinois with herbs and garlic. Like a boursin brie!
COOMBE FARM CHEDDAR AND DENEHAY FARM CHEDDAR - two single-farm cheddars from the shires of Great Briton. Parchment wrapped and only $5 each.
KING ISLAND ROARING 40’S BLUE – this dense, intense, melt in your mouth blue from Australia is a “must try.” Customers who have taken a bit home come back for more, and it is getting more difficult to find. I have 2 ½ wheels in stock, so there’s plenty to go around for the next few weeks. If you haven’t tried this and you like blue, you owe the experience to yourself!
TIMES PAST DAIRY (Somerset England) Cloth aged mature cheddar. This is dense, nutty and flavorful, almost reminiscent of an aged gouda. We have four pounds available this shipment!
RAMBOL SMOKED “FOREST” – this is a soft smoked processed cheese from France. The cheese gurus might poo poo this one (but they also poo poo Gourmandise which we all love). We find it pleasant and it has broad appeal for those parties where not everyone appreciates a $20 a pound piece of cheese!
BUTTERMILK BLUE – From Wisconsin – this great selling blue is mild, flavorful and great just to snack on, use for dressing or to top a salad.
NEVAT - Darned near perfectly ripe (and $2 off a pound to make sure it sells fast), this soft, mild unique goat’s milk cheese from Spain melts in your mouth. It has a bloomy rind (like brie) and is one of our favorite new cheeses.
CASHEL BLUE – A farmstead cheese from Ireland – this has a very high butterfat content and melts in your mouth.
WATERWHEEL CRACKERS – we now have three flavors of these fast-selling crackers. Thin, crisp they add to your cheese experience without burying the flavor of the cheese or filling you up with crackers!
CAPER BERRIES – the hot new “add to your martini” item. I’ve had lots of requests – they’re here! A nice big jar for under $4
