Appenzeller |
|
(A-pen-sehl-ler) |
|
|
This is what you would
call an excellent melter for your fondue. Washed with an herbal brine
for flavor, it is a butter-colored cheese that gets darker with age.
This classic version is 3-4 months in age. Note: Can you believe this
style of Swiss mountain-cheese has been around for over 700 years? It
started out as a cheese made in monasteries stored in cool caves to age. |

Asiago d' allevo |

Aged about 5 months,
this cheese has an attractive nuttiness and as it matures gains a
slightly tangy, lemony aftertaste. Grate on pasta, melt on bread and a
try adding to a vegetable pizza for a little zip in the evening. |

Made of fresh whole

lasagna or chopped up with olive oil in a tomato basil salad. Invite
your friends! |

Wrapped up and ready to

beautiful. Cocooned in chestnut leaves they get the chance to acquire
the tangy, yet woodsy flavor that is so wonderful to eat.

The amber color helps to

makes it so easy to eat as a dessert cheese. Also try it grated over a

This is a unique but
traditional cheese which is handmade, free of preservatives and has
cumin and cloves added to it. We liked it on a grilled chicken sandwich.
Sorry, but this cheese is currently not shipping into the U.S. Keep your
fingers crossed, blind cow lovers! |

Similar to but slightly
different from Alpine mountain cheeses, this one has a pronounced
buttermilk flavor that intensifies as it ages, probably due to the grass
fed cows. Aged about 6 months. |

young it's mild, buttery and with a chalky center and as it ages it
becomes runny and it takes on a slight earthy flavor. A customer

We love this
cheese, but how can you not once you've tried the decadent creamy flavor
it has to offer. Invite friends to join you and purchase a great loaf of
crusty bread to spread it on. We like it spread on Croccantini Crackers,
the rosemary ones in particular. |

Burrata - Fresh Mozzarella w/cream &
curds |
|
(bah-RAH-ta) |
|
Rich and delicate is the
flavor of this fresh mozzarella. It is a mixture of both cream and
mozzarella curds inside and knotted at the end. Have this seasonal treat
with Heirloom tomatoes and a fresh Ciabatta bread. My favorite way is on
a bed of mixed baby greens with a peppered piece of seared Ahi Tuna, add
a drizzle of your best olive oils and sea salt and dinner is served

Cahill's Elderberry Wine |

To start off with, this is
a very appealing cheddar sliced on a cheese board. It's made with a
tangy Irish cheddar cheese and the addition of elderberry wine gives it
a slightly sweet taste. |

Cahill's Porter |
|
|
|
|
The use of
their own farm-brewed porter (dark, malty, sweet ale for those of you
who aren't beer-savvy) gives this tangy Irish cheddar a malty sweetness
with notes of chocolate and even a subtly smoky flavor. Incidentally,
this is known lovingly by some of our younger patrons as the "giraffe
cheese" for its brown and tan mottled apperance. Try it planed over
mushroom risotto for something new and pretty. |

A triple cream brie with
just a hint of blue. For those who haven't made the leap over to blue
cheese because of their sometimes strong flavors, this is a great
transition cheese to try. Excellent to spread on apples or on a nice
crusty French baguette. |

Many times you will hear us refer to this cheese as a
"vuluptuous blue". By that we mean it's well rounded in just about every
area. Not too salty, not too sweet, not too strong, but just right! Just
like Baby Bear's pourage. |
