Point Reyes Farmstead
Blue – Point Reyes, CA
Overlooking the churning
waves of Tomales Bay, a closed herd of Holstein cows meander thoughtfully and
graze on the rich grasses that grow on the wild sweeps of land. However, one
hundred years ago the terrain was mountainous and the country was Italy. That's
where the Giacomini family first started producing superior farmstead dairy
products. In 1959, Bob Giacomini was simply milking cows at his Point Reyes
dairy but in 2000, the first vat of Point Reyes Original Blue was born and the
Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Company was founded.
Creamy with an elusive,
salty flavor that is attributed to the coastal fog and briny breezes flushing
around the pastureland, Point Reyes Original Blue is aged for at least six
months, giving it plenty of time to develop its sea-blue veins and deep,
luscious flavor.
La Tur Alta Langa – Italy

La Tur (in Piedmontese

softer and more runny as it ages. Delicious and Unique it is aged about 10
days.

milk. Slightly more delicate than Cabrales, Valdeon is a slightly salty,
complicated cheese with fragile veins darting through its pungent paste.
Mahon DOP - Spain

Beechers Flagship
Reserve – Seattle, WA
Flagship Reserve is a
special version of their signature Flagship cheese. It is made only on days
when the milk composition is just right.
The last curds on the
table from these makes are used to produce Flagship Reserve truckles as it
allows for slightly lower moisture, higher salt content and thus a richer taste
and texture while maintaining a clean, creamy finish.
In addition to using this
special raw material, Flagship Reserve is traditionally cloth-bound and
open-air aged. This method allows a 14 to 16% moisture loss during aging,
concentrating the already rich, robust, nutty flavor and producing a long
finish.
Awards:
2nd Place Best in Show,
1st Place Aged Cheddar

* Flagship Reserve can also be enjoyed with a
brown ale.
The fertile San Joaquin
Valley rests peacefully in the long shadow of the vast Sierra Nevada mountain
range. It is a land where the precise combination of sun, good soil, and water
result in a variety of crops, including vast pasturelands. Tulare County,
within the San Joaquin Valley and the largest dairy region in the nation, is
where Three Sisters Farmstead Cheese has set up shop. Three Sisters hand wraps
their cheeses in cheesecloth before allowing the cheese to air dry and age
naturally.
If classic Italian
Parmigiano-Reggiano and tulip-sniffing Gouda were to marry, Serena would be
their delicious progeny. A rich, nutty, and bright flavor develops in the cow's
milk cheese during the nine to twelve month aging process and the texture
becomes dry and flakey.

St. Marcellin –
France
A soft-ripened disk of
sweet, pasteurized cow milk with a rindless golden crust and an unparalleled
silky texture. Each cheese comes as a small crock full of rustic, creamy,
flawless gems. Aged about one month, the flavor is comparable to a Brie de Meaux:
mushroomy, truffly and earthy with a delicate residual tang; as it ripens
further, the flavors concentrate, becoming quite robust. Oddly enough, this
cheese used to be made with goat milk, sort of like a Banon without a
leaf-wrapping. They are often warmed in the oven and served with a fresh
baguette; for extra points, open a bottle of spicy Syrah-based red or
Chateauneuf du Pape.
Each piece weighs
approximately 4 oz

Cayuse Raw Milk Mountain Goat - Larkhaven Farm – Tonasket, Wa.
Nestled in the shoulder of Little Whiskey Mountain, between Ellisforde
and Whitestone Lake as the crow flies, lies Larkhaven Farm.
This smooth-textured goat milk cheese is a surprise hit, developed for
a small, local market and scooped up by wider appreciation. The flavor is mellow and balanced, and
develops quite early. It is enjoyed even by those who thought they didn't like
goat cheese. Cayuse Mountain

Murcia Al Vino DOP -
Spain
Drunken Goat
(Pasteurized), red wine bathed cheese from Murcia Spain.
Cabrales Picon
(Valdeon) – Spain. A raw
milk name protected blue cheese, from Cow, Goat and Sheep milk, that's wrapped
in Sycamore leaves.
Wrapped snuggly in
Sycamore leaves, this distinctive blue cheese from the Spanish Castille-Leon
province combines the sweet richness of cow's milk with the tanginess of goat
milk. Slightly more delicate than Cabrales, Valdeon is a slightly salty,
complicated cheese with fragile veins darting through its pungent paste.
Garrotxa –
Catalunya, Spain.
A relatively new arrival
on the Spanish cheese scene, Garrotxa is made in Girona, a north-central
Catalonian province. Snow-white and firm with a soft suede-like rind, this aged
goat cheese has a moist, yet almost flaky, texture that melts across your
tongue. Garrotxa is mildly herbal and tangy with the briefest whisper of
hazelnuts in the aftertaste.
Chevre, Fresh- Redwood Hill Farm, CA

Since 1968, when her
parents founded their goat dairy farm in Sonoma County, California Jennifer
Bice has been intimately involved in raising goats, milking goats, and making
Certified Humane goat cheese. Located in warm and verdant Sebastopol,
Jennifer's Redwood Hill herds of Nubian, Alpine, Saanen, and LaMancha goats
clamber around green pastures when the weather is fine but are kept snugly
inside when the winds and rains buck up.
Made in the French style,
Redwood Hill's chevre is light, fluffy, and sumptuously spreadable. Its
ethereal notes of citrus make it delicious in both savory and sweet dishes.
Bucheret - Redwood Hill Farm, CA

Bucheret has a white,
bloomy penicillum candidum rind and a dense, buttery interior. The cheese evolves
from mild when young to tangy and slightly sharp as it ages. As the cheese
ripens, it will soften under the rind, and the flavors will become more rich
and complex. Wrap this cheese in waxed paper and store in a cool environment;
an uncut cheese will last for about two months, or until the rind becomes
brownish and smells ammoniated.
Serve Bucheret on a cheese
platter with seasonal fresh fruit, or try it for dessert drizzled with local
honey.
California Crottin - Redwood Hill Farm, CA

Our traditional
French-style California Crottin has a wrinkly, geotrichum candidum rind, a
fluffy texture and robust, earthy flavor. Twice it was voted "Best
Farmstead Goat Cheese" at the prestigious American Cheese Society judging
and chosen as the best Crottin, better than the French originals, in a recent
Wall St. Journal tasting.
Store this cheese in waxed
paper, which will allow it to breathe as it continues aging. If kept whole and
stored in a cool, dry environment, at about two months of age this cheese
becomes grateable with a sharp and complex flavor.
Superb for salads as well
as an excellent cheese plate selection, this handmade delicacy should be served
at room temperature. It pairs well with Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc wines.
All Redwood Hill Farm Cheeses
are Kosher.
Pond Hopper Organic,
Beer washed – Tumalo Farm, OR
Tucked away in the cool
shadows of the majestic Cascade mountain range near Bend in Central Oregon,
Flavio DeCastilhos and his wife use traditional Dutch and Italian cheesemaking
methods to produce unique goat cheeses at Tumalo Farms. Because the farm is
situated about 3,500 feet above sea level, the Saanen and Alpine goats at
Tumalo Farms frolic in clean alpine air and revel in the three hundred days of
sunshine that saturates the area every year.
The obvious hints of
cascade hops that washes over Pond Hopper's sharp flavor proves what a success
it is to concoct a cheese using a local microbrew. This snow white goat cheese
has a yeasty aroma that brings out the soft nuttiness buried deep in its soul.
La Tur Alta Langa – Italy

La Tur (in Piedmontese
dialect) means The Tower this cheese is named for the tower in the village of
it’s origin. The cheese is soft, delicate and the perfect blend of the cow,
goat and sheep milk give it a very particular taste. It will become slightly
softer and more runny as it ages. Delicious and Unique it is aged about 10
days.
Bucherondin –
France.
One of the more popular
goat cheeses, Bucherondin has a wonderfully sharp tangy bite to it. Easy to cut
and portion out (entertainers out there, take note), this log shaped chevre
cheese is a favorite amongst restaurants and caterers.

Idiazabel (Ee-dee-ya-Za-bal) - Spain (Basque) DOP

In the beautiful and
completely agricultural Spanish Basque Country, one can explore magnificent
local seafood, hams, unique olive oils, robust red wines, and, of course,
cheeses. One of Basque Country's most significant cheeses is Idiazabal, a raw,
smoked sheep's milk cheese. The smoking of this cheese came about by pure
coincidence. Back in the day, the Basque shepherds stored the cheese made from
their Pyrenees-grazing sheep's summer milk in their stone chimneys of their
tiny mountain huts.
Today, Idiazabal is
hardwood-smoked using either beech wood, cherry wood, birch wood, or pine to
produce the signature rich smoky flavor and amber paste. Smoke isn't the only
flavor in this cheeses, however, you can count on buttery notes as well as deep
nutty overtones.
Roncal Picos De Espana –
Navarra, Spain D.O.P.
Made at the foot of the
Pyrenees in Navarra, Spain, Roncal was the first Spanish cheese to obtain D.O.
(denominacion de origen) status in 1981. However, only the seven villages that
make up the Roncal Valley in Navarra are allowed to make this particular
cheese. Following a recipe that has been repeated for over 3,000 years, the
cheesemakers use raw milk from Rasa sheep and patiently age it for six to eight
months.
Smooth with the sweetness
that is characteristic of sheep milk cheeses, Roncal is firm and slightly
grainy. Often you can detect gentle glimmers of the wild herbs from the sheep's
open-air grazing pastures as well as a briny flavor that puts one in mind of
Arbequina olives.
Manchego El Trigal DOP
- Spain
When paging though
Cervantes' work of a man who jousts with windmills and tries vainly to prove
that chivalry is not dead, did you find yourself craving cheese? It's no small
wonder since cheese is mentioned in Don Quixote no less than thirteen times.
Wondering where these quixotic wanderings are going? Well, La Mancha -- the
land of Don Quixote -- is also the land of Manchego.
A refreshingly simple and
laid-back offering in a world of so many complex cheeses, Manchego is Spain's
most popular cheese. Wrapped snuggly in a recognizable wax rind, this raw sheep
milk cheese is aged for six months and develops a salty, briny flavor that
marries well with a variety of accompaniments, quince paste being the
traditional pairing. 12 months aged.
Cabrales Picon
(Valdeon) – Spain. A raw
milk name protected blue cheese, from Cow, Goat and Sheep milk, that's wrapped
in Sycamore leaves.
Wrapped snuggly in
Sycamore leaves, this distinctive blue cheese from the Spanish Castille-Leon
province combines the sweet richness of cow's milk with the tanginess of goat
milk. Slightly more delicate than Cabrales, Valdeon is a slightly salty,
complicated cheese with fragile veins darting through its pungent paste.
Ewes Blue – Old
Chatham, NY.
A happy and wooley flock
of about 1200 sheep meander through the green and rolling hills of the upper
Hudson River Valley, making Old Chatham Sheepherding the largest sheep dairy in
the United States. The East Friesian crossbred sheep are raised on organic
fields and pastures and their health is meticulously maintained to ensure the
best quality of life. This care and quality of life results in some of the best
sheep dairy products in the country.
Using 100% sheep milk,
Ewe's Blue is made Roquefort style on the farm. It is creamy and rich with a
prominent, but not overwhelming, tangy blue flavor.
3rd Place Ribbon, American
Cheese Society Competition in Burlington, Vermont, 2007.
Fermier Ossau Iraty –
Pays Basque – France A.O.C.
Ossau in the valley of
Bearn and Iraty in the forests of the Pays Basque combine to make this cheese.
Ossau-Iraty is probably the least known Appelation d'Origine Controlee (A.O.C)
cheese. Ossau-Iraty is made from Manech ewes. The cheese is sometimes produced
in mountain huts (Ossau-Iraty Fermier). The cheese needs to mature for at least
90 days to develop its nutty flavor.
The pâte is supple and
creamy when young and becomes more firm as the cheese ripens. Ossau-Iraty
Fermier may have small holes in the pâte and should not stick to the palate.
Ossau-Iraty is creamy and buttery in the mouth with flavors of nuts, fruits and
herbs.
Ossau-Iraty can be served
before and after dinner. In Pays Basque and Bearn, the nickname of Ossau-Iraty
is "farmer's dessert".

Bulgarian feta, and always made from 100% sheep milk.
Pecerino Romano - Italy
As irreplaceable in
southern Italian cuisine as Parmigiano-Reggiano is in northern Italian cuisine,
this pasteurized sheep milk cheese has a bone-white paste that sometimes tinges
on a creamy yellow. Genuine Pecorino Romano is made in the Roman province where
sheep milk is more abundant. This cheese is dry and crumbly with an oily sheen
and a painted black rind, which is inedible. It has a sharp, aged flavor that
is delicious grated or shaved over vegetables, pasta, and our grass-fed beef (rare).

San Marzano D.O.P.
Tomatoes – Sarneso Nocerino, Italy – From he soil of Vesuvius. 14oz Can.
The San Marzano tomato is
Italy's most famous plum tomato, grown in Campania, the home of pizza -- since
the middle ages. The tomato is prized for its tart flavor, firm pulp, red
color, low seed-count and easily removed skin. It is widely used in both pizza
and pasta, though recently it has become famous around the world as the base
for Vera Pizza Napoletana. It's interesting to note that Naples lays claim not
only as the home of pizza, but also tomato-based pasta dishes -- both enjoyed
by local royalty in the 17th century.
The San Marzano tomato is
now protected by tight rules, like many wines, cheeses and even Pizza
Napoletana, obtaining the DOP (Denominazione d' Origine Protetta) label in 1996
from the European Union for the processed product. Watch out for domestic
imitators using the San Marzano name -- it's like calling jug wine
"burgundy" or bulk sparkling wine "champagne."
These great tomatoes are
the perfect start to the perfect pizza. The harvest of the San Marzano usually
begins in August and continues until the end of September and sometimes later.
It is a delicate crop and mechanization is not used. The labor required to
train the vines, and the hand picked harvest (the true San Marzano is harvested
multiple times, only when the fruit is completely ripe, not all at once) are
two elements that lead to an increase in production costs.
Still, we think it's worth
it. Take a can of imported San Marzano tomatoes, hit it with a potato masher,
and you have the perfect pizza sauce.
