This Week's Tasting: April 10, 2017

This week's tasting plate

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 cheeses, so if these 6 don’t please you, we will find you the cheeses that do.

This week's cheeses are featured in our very special Easter Bag! Follow the link at the bottom of the page to reserve yours today!

At the Cowgirl Creamery, St. Pat heralds the spring season. A double-cream brie, it is made of organic Jersey cow's milk from a single California dairy. It is coated in wild nettles, which give a smokey, artichoke-y flavor to the mild, creamy cheese.

June's Joy is fresh Pure Luck chevre blended with Texas honey, black pepper, and thyme. It's one of the favorites amongst our customers here at Dairymaids.

Bleu Mont Cheddar is made using the traditional English method of wrapping in cloth. After aging over a year in Bleu Mont's cave, the cheddar develops and crystalline "crunch" and deep, complex flavors. One man, Willi Lehner, makes the cheese at Bleu Mont Dairy. He comes from a family of Swiss cheesemakers and studied cheesemaking in Switzerland.

Ewenique is made exclusively for Central Coast Creamery in Holland using a recipe developed by cheesemaker Reggie Jones.  This 100% sheep milk has a brilliant velvety white paste and a delicate texture.  This extremely complex cheese boasts incredible sweetness and flavors redolent of salted caramel and fresh vanilla beans with a slight hint of citrus to contrast the savory qualities of the sheep milk.

Made with rich Jersey cows' milk, Reading Raclette has a perfectly pliable texture that just begs to be melted. The flavor is mild with contrasting sweet cream and savory/salty notes. A forward thinking enterprise, Spring Brook Farm is a non-profit operation that teaches city kids about farming.

Cashel Blue is a natural-rinded blue is a farmstead cheese from the Grubb Family Farm in Tipperary County, Ireland. Full of character, but not overly strong. Cashel Blue impresses with its rich, creamy texture and tangy blue flavor.

Our wine of the week is the Sokol Blesser Rosé of Pinot Noir.  It's crisp and delicate with a lively fruitness and floral aroma.
