This Week's Tasting: August 7, 2018

Every week at Dairymaids we select six cheeses to include in our free cheese tasting.
Whenever we are open, we are tasting cheese. We stock over 150!

Castelrosso is a cow's milk cheese from the Rosso family in Piemonte. The Rossos have been making cheese since 1894. This ancient style of cheese is made by lactic fermentation, which gives it a flaky paste at center with a creamier layer beneath its natural rind. They make it from red cow's milk, which is high in acid and helps give Castelrosso its brightness. 

Also on our tasting plate this week:

Baby Caprino, a small goat's milk brie coated in ash from Texas' CKC Farms.

St. David's Raclette, a raw cow's milk Raclette-style from the Eagle Mountain Dairy in Lipan, Texas.

Red Hawk, a rich triple cream washed rind cheese from the Cowgirl Creamery in California.

Roth's Private Reserve, a Gruyere-style from Roth Cellars made with raw milk and aged over 6 months.

Moolicious Blue, a raw cow's milk, natural-rinded blue from Bleating Heart Cheese in California.

Our wine of the week is new - Lost Draw Rosé from the Texas High Plains. We taste wine from 10am to 2pm on Saturdays.

Our pairing of the week is a Sour Cherry Jam from American Spoon in Michigan.
