A departure from mass-market varieties, its light texture and fresh, tangy flavor confused some people at first, but it soon caught on in a big way. It was even hailed by Cook’s Illustrated as the “cream of the cream cheese crop.” Since then, Zingerman’s Creamery has earned national attention—and numerous awards from the American Cheese Society—for our handcrafted cow and goat milk cheeses and traditional gelato. We make all of our products in small batches with the highest quality milk from dedicated, small-scale regional farmers who share our passion for quality and tradition. We preserve the incredible tastes of fresh milk and cream through the use of century- old tools and techniques. All of our cheeses are low-heat pasteurized to maintain the original flavor of the milk, we use uncommonly long sets to draw out a full, complex flavor and our cheeses are hand-ladled to preserve the delicate characteristics of the curd.

  • Cheeses of Germany Allgäuer Bergkäse – Prepared in Allgäu From
    Cheeses of Germany Allgäuer Bergkäse – Prepared in Allgäu from unpasteurized cow's milk, it is ripened for a minimum of four months and has a smooth texture. Allgau Emmentaler - Germany's most famous hard cheese. Made of cow's milk. The flavour ranges from mild to strong, dependent upon age. Good for shredding, slicing and melting. Backstein – similar to Limburger, it is processed in a brick shape. Berliner Kuhkäse - a soft cheese with caraway seeds. Made in Germany. Bonifaz – a soft, white mold cheese. Butterkäse – translated as "butter cheese" in German, it is a semi-soft, cow's milk cheese that is moderately popular in Germanic Europe, and occasionally seen throughout the rest of the world. Cambozola – patented and industrially produced for the world market by large German company Champignon in the 1970s. The cheese was invented circa 1900 and is still produced by Champignon. In English-speaking countries, Cambozola is often marketed as Blue brie. Edelpilzkäse – Edelpilzkäse is a blue-vein cheese. It is similar to Roquefort, but milder because it is made with cow's milk. Edelpilzkäse is made by mixing cow's milk with Pennicillium spores. The mold grows within the cheese, giving the cheese the internal blue veining and its tangy flavor. It is available in 45%, 50%, and 60% fat level. Gaiskasli - Goat's milk cheese that is soft and delicately flavoured. Produced in Germany and Switzerland. Handkäse – a German Protected designation origin (PDO) regional sour milk cheese (similar to Harzer) and is a culinary speciality of Frankfurt am Main, Offenbach am Main, Darmstadt, Langen and all other parts of southern Hesse.

  • Cheese and Dairy Spreads
    05_544136_ch01.qxd 10/5/04 9:20 AM Page 39 Cheese ANd DAiry SpreAds « • © ccording to legend, a Middle Eastern herdsman nearly six thousand years ago stored some Amilk in a sack made from a calf or lamb’s stomach (waterproof animal organs then provid- ing the best portable containers for liquid), only to discover later that the milk had separated. Sampling the coagulated curds—what we call fresh cheese—he realized that it was not only tasty but longer lasting than milk. By 2000 B.C.E., fresh cheese was a common food throughout the area, as attested by the discovery in Middle Eastern archeological digs of numerous small cheese molds replete with holes for draining. Later, the Romans discovered that cooking the milk to produce curds, pressing the curds, soaking the cheese in salt, and aging it for several months produced hard cheeses. Pliny the Elder (c. 77 C.E.) described many of the cheeses favored by Roman gourmets, including ones similar to Swiss and blue. While the basics of cheese making remain relatively unchanged from Roman times, there are now more than two thousand varieties around the globe. Cheese is createdCOPYRIGHTED when the solid portion of the milk MATERIAL of a few cloven-hoofed, cud-chewing animals is separated from a liquid called whey. Goat and sheep cheeses are most prevalent in the Middle East and Mediterranean. (When the Bible spoke of “a land flowing with milk and honey,” it was referring to goat’s milk.) The amazing aspect of cheese making is how small dif- ferences in the procedure—including the kind of milk, the amount of salt and other flavorings added, the temperature at which the milk is heated, the pressing, and the length of aging— result in major changes in the cheese’s flavor, color, texture, and aroma.
