“How did you get into making cheese”? it’s a question I get asked frequently. Well here is how it all started.
I decided to celebrate my thirtieth birthday on a fun filled solo trip to Italy. I took a leave of absence from my job as an agronomist, threw myself an Italian themed 30th birthday party and a month later I arrived under the Tuscan sun!
Tasting Notes: Sweet and buttery with a mild nuttiness. Pleasant, fresh straw aroma. The supple, semi-soft paste is dotted with eyes and crumbles slightly in the mouth. Slightly sticky, beautifully mottled rind.
How to Enjoy: Melted on top of a juicy hamburger or in your favourite sandwich. Great with crackers and honey for a nutritious snack and of course on a grilled cheese.
Tasting Notes: Pecorino with a fiery kick at the end yet you can still taste.
How to Enjoy: Good for nibbling on. Try it with a sweet wine to contrast the spiciness.
Tasting Notes: Herbal flavours include woodsy rosemary, citrusy thyme and floral lavender. Aromas of warm pine and sun-baked earth.
How to Enjoy: Adds nuance to any pasta dish. Use to make crackers, crisps or puff pastry straws to nibble on before supper. Excellent with olives.
Tasting Notes: Floral spice with a peppery bite.
How to Enjoy: Great with tomato dishes
Tasting Notes: Garlic blended with some sweetness from the sundried tomatoes.
How to Enjoy: The rich warm flavour of this cheese is great with lasagne, pizzas or in a sandwich.
Tasting Notes: Fresh, spreadable cheese with a lush, velvety texture. Mineral undertones punctuated by a delicate tang and lemony brightness. Aromas of cold milk and wet stone.
How to Enjoy: Tremendously adaptable. Smear on toast (try a fruit or nut-flecked loaf) with preserves for a luxurious breakfast. Use in an unbaked cheesecake or serve with ripe summer fruit for an easy dessert. Mix with a salad of whole grains or lentils and roasted veggies. Dress up with fresh herbs, sundried tomatoes or marinated artichokes to create a quick spread.
Tasting Notes: Fresco with garlic and a scattering of crisp, garden-fresh chives. Warm, roasted garlic taste balanced by lactic tang.
How to Enjoy: Use in potato salad or instead of tomato sauce to make a pizza Bianca. Useful in canapés.
Tasting Notes: Bold, assertive nose with a hint of farmyard. Piquant with herbaceous notes from the sheep grazing on fragrant pastures. Underlying salty/meaty tang balanced by a hint of caramelized onion. Firm, slightly grainy texture. Dry yet has a rich, oily mouth-feel characteristic of sheep’s milk cheese.
How to Enjoy: Wonderful as an additional cheese blended in a grilled cheese or mix with Mozza and melt on a pizza, grated over pasta or risotto, with prosciutto, salami or other cured meats. Showcase on a cheese board with a drizzle of honey, meltingly ripe pears or fig jam. Perfect with freshly shelled, young fava beans.
