On The Cheese Truck – 5/2/2010

May 2, 2010

SPECIAL OF THE MONTH: $2 off per pound of CANTAL VIEUX, one of the oldest cheeses ever made. Julius Caesar was reportedly eating this cheese when he conquered Gaul, which is France now.

Ubriaco del Piave (the drunk from Piave)
– an earthy, milky paste with a red wine flavor
– bathed in red grape must for 45 days

Valencay and Selles-sur-Cher
– a rarefied sour savor with a salty flavor which turns to a sweetness nuttiness

Saint Maure de Touraine
– a straw runs through each log, promoting air flow and even maturation
– with age, expect a firmer, flakier texture, beneath a white and blue mold-mottled rind
– piquant, acidic, and walnutty

Sunny days are here, so there’s more BBQ and salads on menus. Laurent has BBQ rub and marinade for your meat and seafood, as well as dressing for your salads.

Don’t forget to try his sauces for pasta, meat or fish:

Pomodoro (for pasta, vegetable, meat or fish)

Bolognese (very HOT, for pasta)

Walnut Pesto (multiple use: pasta, veggie, sandwich, fish)

Black peppercorn cream sauce (meat and fish)

Sage cream sauce (pumpkin ravioli and shrimps & scallops)

Mushroom cream sauce (pasta and meat)

Carbonara cream sauce (long pasta only)
