On The Cheese Truck – 5/23/2010

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.

🧀 NEW ON THE TRUCK 🧀

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

Rocastin
– a very creamy paste with a sweet taste

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

Valencay
– a rarefied sour savor with a salty flavor that turns to a sweet nuttiness

Fleur de Maquis, a sheep’s milk cheese from Corsica, slightly acidic and sour. Has a mild earthy flavor that becomes sharper with age.

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  six (6) different dressings for your salads.
