this week's cheese plate
featuring selected cheeses from our neighbors at PEDESTRIAN CHEESE
Mimolette
Cow, CT
Inspired by the Dutch Edam. The story goes: in the 17th century, France was importing significant quantities of cheese from the Netherlands. During the Franco-Dutch War (1672-1678), trade was halted, ceasing importation of locally popular Edam. French finance minister Jean-Baptiste Colbert commissioned cheesemakers in Flanders to develop a substitute, insisting the interior have a distinctive color to distinguish it from the original. This cheese is nutty, with caramel flavors and nice crystallization.
e
Manchego
Sheep, Spain
The Manchego cheese is produced in the La Mancha region of Spain, which is also home to Don Quixote. It is made from raw sheep's milk. It is aged and firm, with gentle but distinct taste of nuttiness and grass from the sheep's diet.
Piave aged 1+ years
Cow, Italy
An Italian cow's milk cheese that begins to reach its full potential after being aged for at least one year, when the structure becomes friable and the taste is full-bodied and absolutely unique. Its peculiarity is that it remains mild and maintains a very intense, fruity flavor, which is a characteristic of longer aging, with a lingering taste.
Sneek
Cow, Frisian Farms IA
This is a 1000 day-aged gouda! The flavors intensify as the cheese ages through the years, developing a caramel sweetness and a slight crunchiness from the protein (tyrosine) crystals that form in the well-aged cheese. The name comes from the city of Sneek, which is located in the province of Friesland in Holland, where the owner's great-grandfather is from.
2-person plate: $15
4-person plate: $30
cheese plates include crackers, olives, assorted fruits & other seasonal accoutrements
