March 2015 Cheese Promotions Manchego - 3 month Manchego is named for the Spanish region of La Mancha, also home of Don Quixote. This historic cheese is produced in the La Mancha region from pasteurized sheep's milk. It has a black gray or buff colored rind with a crosshatch pattern, the interior ranges from stark white to yellowish, depending on age. The aroma should suggest lanolin and roast lamb. The final cheese is usually smeared with olive oil and surface mould is removed. It has a number of holes and a mild, slightly briny, nutty flavor. It is sold at various stages of maturity. Item #83400 Approx. 6# piece - Sale Price $8.68 lb Cambozola Cheese Cambozola is a mild and subtle blue-veined creation that is perfect for those looking for a blue cheese that is neither pungent (like a Stilton), nor crumbly (like a Roquefort). Cambozola is a creamy combination of the white mold rind of a Camembert with the blue veins of a Gorgonzola. Cambozola is a German mild and creamy, triple cream, blue-veined gourmet cheese with a white mold coating well worth your attention. Item #83838 Cambozola Blue 5# - Sale Price $9.99 lb French Raclette The world's most famous melting cheese, Raclette is made in the Alps on both sides of the French-Swiss border. The French version is perhaps a bit softer than Swiss Raclette, but the two taste very similar. Raclette has a semi-soft interior dotted with small holes and a rosy inedible rind. Eaten as a table cheese, Raclette has a smooth, creamy taste that is neither too salty nor sharp. However, our French Raclette tends to have a strong, pungent aroma that is not for the timid. This cheese is traditionally melted (a half wheel is placed in a fireplace, then the melted top surface is continuously scraped off) and layered atop boiled potatoes, pickles, fresh vegetables and sliced meats. Item #83701 French Raclette 13# - Sale Price $7.52 lb Danish Fontina Danish Fontina is pale yellow and semi-soft with a mild slightly sweet flavour. A derivative of its Italian namesake and a great table cheese that goes well with a light wine Fontina is also a good sandwich cheese. Item: 83250 Fontina, Danish 12# - Sale Price $5.75 lb.

CHEESE Or FROMAGE
CHEESE or FROMAGE Cheese is a solid derivative of milk. It is produced by coagulating the protein (CAESIN) in milk so that it forms curds - usually by adding RENNET (outer agent used to seperate the milk protein) - and draining off the liquid (WHEY). Cheese then undergoes a ripening process, during which it changes in taste, texture and appearance and each variety takes on its own particular characteristics. Some cheeses develop veining during ripening, while other form holes or 'EYES'. Veining is caused by a bacteria in the cheese, which may occur naturally, or may be introduced. All cheeses develop a rind or crust of some sort, or are given one artificially such as red wax rind of EDAM. Some cheeses, such as BRIE & CAMEMBERT, develop a mould on the outside surface which produces enzymes which help ripen the cheese from outside towards the center. Most cheese is made from 'EWES' milk with a small amount made from 'COWS' or `GOATS' milk. The type of milk and the different techniques used to seperate the curds and whey and ripen the cheese result in the many different types of cheese. Climate, vegetation and seasonal changes can also influence the finished cheese, which means that some varieties can only be produced in a certain area and cannot br produced in large quantities or under factory conditions. CHEDDAR, however lends itself well to factory techniques. Although CAESIN makes up 78% of the milk protein, there are other proteins present in smaller quantities, but they are soluble and are drained out with the WHEY. The whey may be then processed to curdle the remaining protein and used to make low fat cheese such as RICOTTA - a moist, unsalted Italian cheese.

Quase Toda a Gente Gosta De Queijo
QUEIJO Quase toda a gente gosta de Queijo. Mas ? COMO APARECEU QUAIS OS MELHORES QUAIS OS MAIS CAROS AS INÚMERAS VARIEDADES AS REGIÕES DE ORIGEM e outras coisas! MITOLOGIA Segundo a mitologia, o queijo teria sido descoberto por Aristeu, filho de Apolo. A História confirma a sua antiguidade: Os Assírios, os Caldeus e os Egípcios e, posteriormente, os Grecos e os Romanos apreciavam o queijo, utilizando-o na alimentação dos seus soldados e atletas. A Odisseia de Homero (século VIII a.C.) descreve o Ciclope fazendo e armazenando queijo do leite de ovelha e de cabra. a LENDA Uma famosa lenda conta que o primeiro queijo foi feito acidentalmente por um mercador árabe que, ao sair para cavalgar por uma região montanhosa, debaixo do sol escaldante, levou uma bolsa cheia de leite de cabra para matar a sede. Após um dia inteiro a galope, o árabe, morto de sede, pegou no seu cantil para beber, e deparou-se com uma grande surpresa; o leite encontrava-se separado em duas partes: um líquido fino e esbranquiçado (o soro) e uma porção sólida (o queijo). A transformação deu-se devido ao calor intenso do sol, ao galope do cavalo e ao material do cantil (uma bolsa feita de estômago de carneiro) que ainda continha o coalho (substância que coagula o leite). Queijo "mumificado" será o mais antigo do mundo já encontrado. Estava sólido, dentro de uma tumba egípcia, construída no século 13 a.C., o que faz com que o queijo tenham cerca de 3.300 anos. O Queijo: gravura da época ilustrando o fabrico artesanal e o consumo doméstico.
