On the Cheese Truck 3/7/2010
Published on: March 7, 2010
SPECIAL OF THE MONTH: $2 off per pound of Murcia al Vino, a pasteurized goat’s milk cheese, which was washed with red wine twice a day for 10 days. Has a bold, floral bouquet & wine aroma.
Saga Blue, a brie mix with a blue cheese and triple cream.
Clothbound Cabot Cheddar, a cheddar with a deep earthy tone close to Old Cantal.
Le Chevrot, a dry but creamy goat cheese with a rippled rind that can be both flaky and creamy, depending on its age.
Goat Milk’s Butter, European style butter made in California. Light and flavorful. For eating not too much for cooking.
Brillat-Savarin with black truffle, mild, finely acidic with a tender and very, very creamy consistency. Has rich truffle flavors.
Clochette, a goat’s milk cheese that’s mild and sour to more acidic when aged, made in a shape of a bell.
Myzithra or Ricotta Salata, depending where you are from − the first one is its Greek name, the second is Italian. A raw goat cheese, mild but salty. Imagine a dry feta. Very good but better on salad or pasta.
Cabra Quinta, lightly salty because aged in sea salt.
Leyden with cumin seeds, wonderful on its own but excellent in eggs.
Applewood-smoked cheddar, excellent by itself but delightful melted in dishes as tacos and mac-and-cheese.
Mini Pont L’Eveque, a pungent but delicate cheese.
And if are you making soup from scratch? Ask for Parmigiano-Reggiano rind — it’s free.
