This Week's Tasting: October 9, 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!

Montgomery's Cheddar, from Manor Farm in Somerset in the U.K., has been made since 1911. It's a crumbly, white cheddar made in the traditional English style with a bandage wrap and raw cow's milk. It boasts rich, brothy and savory flavors and a slight crystalization.

Also on our tasting plate this week:

Fresh Chevre, a basket-drained, goat's milk cheese recently awarded best of its type in America from the Pure Luck Dairy in Dripping Springs, Texas.

Bufarolo, a young, buffalo's milk cheese with a natural rind made in Italy by Quattro Portoni and aged at the Crown Finish Caves in Brooklyn, NY.

Pleasant Ridge Reserve, a raw, cow's milk Alpine-style made by Uplands Cheese in Wisconsin.

Willoughby, a cow's milk, washed-rind style from the Cellars at Jasper Hill in Vermont.

Echo Mountain, a blended goat's and cow's milk blue from the Rogue Creamery in Oregon.

Our wine of the week is the Texas High Plains Rosé from Lost Draw in Meadow, TX. We taste wine from 10am to 2pm on Saturdays.

We are also sampling Apple and Onion Jam from American Spoon in Michigan.
