NEW CHEESES
NOW IN STOCK
The much awaited, much applauded, much anticipated authentic Alsatian Muenster. Small wheels of this hard to get, airshipped gem are available for only $10. For those of you who have never tried true muenster - it bears NO resemblance to that squeeky white pap they put out in Wisconsin. This is a washed rind cheese that is name controlled (DOC) like many regional wines! And its flavors are and multi dimensional. Soft, supple creamy texture, huge beefy, nutty flavor, fragrant rind. Matches well with Gewurtztraminers, Reislings, Muscade - also with fresh fruity reds (e.g. Beaujolias) and even big reds (Burgundy and Bordeau) as well as beer!
A new shipment of MoCou Colorouge, a washed rind cheese from Colorado. We sold through the first order in record time. This is an awesome, fresh cheese and nice introduction to the washed rinds if you're a little shy about the "big boys" from Europe.
We liked the MouCou Colorouge so well we also brought in their Camembert. European in style but not as gamey as its French cousins, this luscious little wheel will make your heart sing!
One more washed rind in today (can you tell I've got a new cheese love???) This is another domestic from Bingham Hill Cheese Company - Harvest Moon. Similar in style but firmer and a little friendlier on the palate for cheese novices, this is another way to build your palate toward the "world class" washed rinds. The US has done an amazing job producing handcrafted cheeses, and the Bingham Hill is one shining example.
These three washed rinds have similarites, as well as subtle and major differences in taste. Different grazing, different terior, different cheese making methods all contribute to each cheeses' unique aeromatics and flavor. Much like wine.
Bingham Hill Pouder Puff - a little ball of love - a brie family double creme with a bloomy rind. A nice size and very affordable.
Bingham Hill Tuscan Spread - these folks have a wonderful lineup and this is one of their spreads that won a major award. Stop by and try it.
