Cheese Gourmet Food: March 2010

Bijou Review

Vermont Butter and Cheese Company has been pioneering innovative dairy products for some time now. Their fresh chevres, spreads, butters, and fermented creams can be found in chef's kitchens and grocery stores across the country. Recently, VBC completed construction on an ambitious new production facility for Loire Valley-style cheeses. Bijou is the French word for "jewel", and these petit, glistening cheeses are the perfect embodiment. Styled after the classic Crottin de Chavignol, each Bijou weighs in at around 2 to 3 ounces. They are semi-firm in texture, and bear the typical, subtle tang of fresh goat's milk cheese.

Leyden Cheese is the cheese for you if you like cumin seeds, because one or the other is always mixed into the curd. This authentic cheese is in The Netherlands known as 'Leidse kaas' (cheese from the city of Leiden). The cheese is made in flat wheels of varying sizes and carries the city's symbol of two crossed keys. It has a natural yellow rind which may be waxed or be rubbed with annatto to give a deep orange-red color. The paste is similar to Gouda cheese but scattered with seeds. It smells and tastes strongly of cumin or caraway, intensifying as it matures.

Made in the U.S.A.

Surprise! The majority of Mexican cheeses are mild--not hot and spicy. People familiar with South-of-the-Border foods know that Mexicans prefer their Jalapenos on their cheese, not in their cheese.pP Known as the "Parmesan of Mexico", this cheese is strongly flavored, firm, and perfect for grating. It is used in Hispanic cooking in a manner similar to the way Parmesan is used in Italian cooking. Cotija is commonly used to add a lively garnish to common dishes. Simply sprinkle on top of refried beans, salads, quesadillas or enchiladas. In Mexico it is also widely used to enhance the flavor of many savory dishes by mixing directly into the casserole or recipe. In the U.S. it is increasingly popular on pasta. See for yourself how much zestier any pasta or even simple macaroni and cheese will taste with a sprinkle of Cotija! Handmade in Wisconsin, yet full of authentic Mexican flavor. ulliMade from pasteurized cow's milk./liliPhoto depicts whole 5 lb. form of cheese./liliWe cut and wrap this item by the 1/2 pound./liliPlease contact us if you would like to purchase the whole form./li/ul

Tetilla Cheese (piece) Review

This is the most characteristic cheese from Galicia, easily recognized by its shape and smooth, fine, yellow straw-colored rind. The soft paste, thick and smooth with few air pockets, is very creamy on the palate. The flavor is clean and smooth. This cheese can be eaten at any time during the day. It is also suitable for cooking, especially as stuffing and in recipes calling for coating as it melts easily with heat. Made in Spain. Made from Pasteurized Cow's Milk, Rennet, lactic ferments, acid corrector (Sodium chloride)

Chimay with Trappister beer receives a very personal preparation and maturing, resulting ina an exclusive, authentic gourmet cheese. Its natural rind is bathed in Chimay Trappister beer so that its flavor flatters the palate and the nose. The Trappist monks of Scourmont have known the secrets of making cheese since 1876. Cheese was made from good milk from their farm and matured in the vaulted cellars of the abbey. Today, Chimay with Trappister beer is made exclusively with regional milk and the Trappist monks have modernized their production equipment. Consume the Chimay with Trappister beer with a strong authentic Belgian beer and you will have a great combination. We cut and wrap this cheese in wedges of 8 ounces and 1 pound.

Buttery Baby Swiss Cheese (5 lb. Wheel) - Wisconsin Cheeseman

Buttery Baby Swiss Cheese (5 lb. Wheel) - Wisconsin Cheeseman Review

See more picture

THIS YUMMY SWISS CHEESE has a delightfully nutty flavour, and a fine texture that keeps better in the refrigerator than cheddar. (Cheddar heese seems to harden fadster in the refrigerator than Swiss cheese). I compared it to the "gourmet" Swiss cheese at my local supermarket. The supermarket's cheese is less firm, and seems to have far more of a fat content. Yes...the supermarket's cheese is a bit smoother, richer, and more buttery...but when one thinks of the probable extra calories, this Wisconsin Cheesema Swiss cheese is quite adequate...if not even more so. Thinking of the calories saved, in fact, can make it taste even better!br /And the large, five pound bulk size makes for saving money, as well!br /br /Yum, YUM! ,( :
