January 24, 2007 Update
Well, my New Year's Resolution is to be much better about keeping this Blog up to date! For those of you who would like to be added to our E-mail list, please write to dillydelitoo@aol.com. Cheese mailings go out every couple of weeks, and our weekend specials, wine news and music schedule go out (almost) weekly!
Here's what's new in January:
Five Counties - a five layer cheese with a layer for each UK counties' famous cheese. Delicious as well as beautiful! I can special order half wheels of this for your party with a week's notice.
Tartufella - the original truffle cheese we brought in several years ago. With the advent of the awesome truffle gouda this went by the wayside for awhile. It's a softer, milder white Italian cheese studded with black truffles. Since the wheels are so small, the pieces are as well, lending themselves to a cheese plate for two. Agian, i can get wheels with a week's notice - they're about a pound each.
Purple Haze - one of my favorite goat cheeses, infused with fennel pollen and lavendar. This is excellent with Nicole's lavendar crackers, which are also available.
Three Sisters Serina - I haven't even tried this yet but the press has been so positive I was very excited to find a source. This is an aged, raw milk cow's cheese. It's in stock and ready to cut.
Capriole Cheeses - from the wonderful little farm in Indiana that makes world class goat cheese. We've brought in the O'Bannon - an aged goat round wrapped in chestnut leaves, the name is a play on a French cheese of a similar style. Steven Jenkins (well renowned for his Cheese Primer - a great book) hails this as one of the greatest cheeses in the world. We've also brought in Old Kentucky Tomme - an aged goat cheese with an unbelieveably wonderful flavor and great texture.
Oakvale Farms - we discovered this little family farm in London Ohio last year. They're turning out some unbelieveable raw milk goudas. The last piece flew out of here! We have the regular gouda (which is firmer and fuller flavored than the grocery store type) and the habenero gouda, which has a bit of a bite but won't burn your mouth. Both great "everybody will love it" cheeses for your Superbowl gathering.
Jarlsberg - Great for football parties - melts well, snacks well and it won't break the bank.
Cashel Blue - Our wonderful best-seller back in stock.
Fine Cheese Crackers: Two new flavors - Rosemary for soft cheeses and whole meal crackers. This whole line is now in stock, made in England with varieties for many kinds of cheese.
Valencianos - A breadstick or a cracker? These flat, handmade crackers come from Spain. Two flavors available - original and Sunflower seed. Delicious alone, with soup or cheese.
Kriti - Greek meza (think Spanish tapas). Two varieties; a sweet biscuit with sesame seeds and rye toasts. Both delicious with the Artichoke spread and roasted red pepper spread from the same line.
Bussetto Saucisson - old world style dry sausages made here in the USA
Serrano Ham - the procuitto of Spain, now available in convenient presliced retail packages. My brother who is a true Spainophile says this is the next best thing to slicing it off the whole leg. Makes a great addition to a Spanish tapas plate. Also remember the Chorizo - an authentic mild Spanish chorizo - great just for snacking, but equally delicious in a quiche or omelette with cheddar and scallions.
These are in addition to our regular great selection - 50 at last count.
