February 2021 | 3-Cheese Line Up COMMON CENTS WINE + CHEESE CLUB February 2021 | 3-cheese line up Pérail de Brebis | Midi-Pyrénées, France Pasteurized sheep’s milk This little bloomy-rinded disc fromage is the byproduct of Roquefort production. If there’s leftover milk from cheesemaking of the classic, French blue, the remainder of the milk goes into these tiny buttons of sweet, grassy cream with a hint of lanolin. From this month’s wine club lineup, this cheese pairs well with: 2018 Planet Oregon Pinot Noir Coho | Duvall, Washington Raw jersey cow’s milk A slightly washed tomme-style from Cherry Valley Dairy, this cheese is a tremendous expression of terroir. You’ll note flavors of the meadow, where their well-cared-for cows graze, and a slight brininess. Though Coho is an excellent melter, it also makes for a great table cheese, reminiscent of mountain tommes of France. Try it with: Sant'Agata Cantina Paltrinieri Lambrusco di Sorbara or 2018 Planet Oregon Pinot Noir Bûche de Chèvre Frais | Loire Valley, France Pasteurized goat cheese This cheese is young, fresh, bright, and zingy, while still being full and creamy. All of this makes for an incredibly balanced bite and an amicable pairing partner. Try it with: 2018 Pra Otto Soave Classico or 2018 Gabbas Vermentino di Sardegna Manzanile And some tips to keep your cheese happy at home ● Protect your cheese from drying out by keeping it in your fridge in a lidded container (like tupperware), a plastic baggie, or the crisper drawer. ● After opening, always use fresh plastic wrap for any cheese you’re not planning to eat within a day, unless it’s being kept in a container (which we recommend). ● In general, we suggest eating your cheese within a week or so of purchasing. Some cheeses will last longer, but, you know, why wait! ● Keep bloomy rinds and blues separated when possible. The molds are quite zealous and will grow on any cheese they can latch onto, so just keep them in separate containers and you’ll be fine. ● A word about mold ○ If it’s growing on your semi-firm or firm cheeses, just cut it off and eat it! This white and blue mold is just fine — these cheeses lack the water to host the nasty molds. But if mold is growing on your fresh mozzarella, feta, cream cheese, or fresh chevre, throw it out. The amount of water in these cheeses provides a great ​ ​ environment for the nasty stuff. If you start to see mold, you can be sure that the filaments are already running throughout the cheese :( ● For the best flavors, take your cheese out of the fridge for an hour or so before serving. When cheeses are too cold, all their delicious flavors, aromas, and textures get shy. Serve at room temperature to enjoy to the fullest. This month’s fromage was carefully curated by Seattle’s Resident Cheese Lady, Rachael Lucas, ACS CCP, CCSE. Rachael is a cheese buyer for the Ballinger Thriftway in ​ Shoreline, a fromage writer for tastewashingtontravel.com, a blogger at ​ ​ cheeseladyloveswine.com, and she’s on the Board of Directors for WASCA (Washington State ​ Cheesemaker’s Association). .

  • The Fuzzy Mold on a Wheel of Fresh Brie Is Called Cats Fur
    The Fuzzy Mold On A Wheel Of Fresh Brie Is Called Cats Fur National Moldy Cheese Day is a unique holiday that is observed each year on October 9. A cheesemonger is a person who specializes in cheeses, butter, and other dairy products. They may take umbrage at the ordinary person’s offense of moldy cheese. Like a sommelier pairs the best wines with meals, a cheesemonger provides expert advice on artisan cheeses for recipes, banquets, and sources for restaurants. Cheeses such as Maytag blue, Roquefort, Brie, bleu, camembert, gorgonzola, and Stilton are a few of the moldy reasons cheese lovers celebrate on this day. Moldy cheese gets such colorful phrases. For example, the fuzzy mold on a wheel of fresh brie is called cats fur. These bloomy rind cheeses take some careful maintenance. However, the results are satisfying. Isn’t the best food is a bit of a science experiment, anyway? Gorgonzola cheese is made with three different kinds of mold spores. It’s like a milder blue cheese, but gorgonzola is creamier and earthier. Toss it with pasta and mushrooms for an outstanding meal. Also, it compliments any cheese plate. Add apples and tart, dried cranberries. Did you know that there are over 2,000 varieties of cheeses? The #1 cheese recipe in America is “Macaroni and Cheese”. What appears to be the remains of cheese has been found in Egyptian tombs over 4,000 years old! The terms “Big Wheel” and “Big Cheese” originally referred to those who were wealthy enough to purchase a whole wheel of cheese.

Chambers1, Edgar Chambers IV1 and Dallas Johnson2 1The Sensory Analysis Center, Department of Human Nutrition, Kansas State University, Justin Hall, Manhattan, KS 66506-1407, USA 2Department of Statistics, Kansas State University, Dickens Hall, Manhattan, KS 66506, USA Abstract Intensities of 30 flavor attributes were measured for 42 cheeses. Rated intensities of flavor characteristics generally fell in the low to moderate range for all cheeses. Some of the flavor characteristics (dairy fat, dairy sour, dairy sweet, sharp, astringent, bitter, salty, sour, and sweet) were present in all cheeses, and some (cooked milk, animalic, goaty, fruity, moldy, mushroom, and nutty) were specific to only a few of the cheeses evaluated in this study. The flavor of each of the 42 cheeses is described. Similarities in flavor were observed among many of the individual cheeses. Therefore, a clustering scheme was developed to show the overall flavor relationships among the cheeses. Those relationships are schematically represented by a tree diagram. Proximity on the tree diagram indicates a high degree of flavor similarity among the types of cheese. Introduction In most countries, consumption of cheese has been on the rise over the past decades (Richards, 1989; Magretti, 1996; Havrila, 1997; Hoebermann, 1997; Anonymous, 2002).

(c) Geographical area: Rouergue, with two extensions: the Quercy causses (limestone plateaux) to the west and the Lozère causses and part of the Margeride granite massif to the east. (d) Evidence: The Causses blue cheese's origins are as old as those of Roquefort. The rural inhabitants of the causses customarily placed their cow's milk cheeses in natural cavities in the limestone scree. These cavities faced north and were swept by drafts of cool, damp air. This cheese was first called 'Bleu d'Aveyron' and defined as such by a décret in 1937. Then, under the name 'Bleu des Causses' it obtained a designation of origin by a Millau court ruling in 1953 that was confirmed by the décret of 21/05/1979. (e) Method of production: Causses blue cheese is made by traditional methods: whole milk, generally used raw, is curdled at 30xC; the curd is cut and stirred, then placed in moulds perforated with holes.

  • Bacterial Flora of Roquefort Cheese
    BACTERIAL FLORA OF ROQUEFORT CHEESE By ALICE C. EVANS Dairy Bacteriologist, Dairy Division, Bureau of Animal Industry, United States Department of Agriculture INTRODUCTION It is well known that various kinds of hard cheese, such as Cheddar and Emmental, or Swiss, depend on a suitable bacterial flora for their normal development. The two types of cheese mentioned have been studied extensively by a number of investigators. It has been shown that in the manufacture of Cheddar cheese there must be a rapid develop- ment of the lactic-acid bacterium Streptococcus lacticus, and that during the ripening a development of other forms of cocci and lactic bacteria of the bulgaricum 1 type is necessary to produce the typical Cheddar flavor (4).2 In Swiss-cheese manufacture the Bacterium bulgaricum is added, either in pure culture, as a starter, or unwittingly, with the nennet. What other microorganisms are responsible for the characteristic sweetish flavor, and for the development of the * 'eyes"; has not yet been estab- lished, but at any rate the ripening is due to the growth of bacteria, in distinction from the mold-ripened cheeses. It is obvious that in cheeses which are mottled with molds the molds play an important part in the ripening. The mold which ripens Roque- fort cheese, and also Gorgonzola and Stilton cheeses, has been named "Pénicillium roqueforti (Thorn)" (6). Currie (J) has shown that it hydrolyzes fat and the resulting acids have the peppery or burning effect on the tongue and palate which is characteristic of Roquefort cheese. In the making of Roquefort cheese, as in the making of Cheddar cheese, a rapid development of lactic-acid bacteria is necessary to bring about the proper physical condition of the curd in the various stages of manu- facture.

Manufacturing in the production area (milk production, processing and ripening) is the number one guarantee by a PDO. Protection against theft. A product with a designation may not be copied! This means Reblochon wouldn’t be Reblochon without a PDO! Similarly, all Cantal cheeses are PDO and so on, it can’t be any other way! Preserving expertise. Because not just anyone can make a PDO however they decide, all the steps of obtaining a PDO are strictly defined in a specification note which is tightly controlled by an independent certification organization. Helping the economy of French territories. PDO products boost economic activity in areas that are often limited in terms of agricultural production. Total transparency. With PDO, nothing is hidden; everything is clearly and unambiguously laid out in the specifications. Diversity of flavors. Choosing a cheese, butter or cream PDO is to choose among 50 pro- ducts, all very diverse in their tastes, just like the richness of man and the “terroir” of each product.
