| Cheese forecast:
Amram: (sold out) A small, round delight named for the music icon, David Amram. David is a dear friend, and got Jonathan started on his cheese making career when we were neighbors in Putnam Valley, NY! Cider washed Amram: A lovely little round delight named for David Amram, and washed in Ironbound Hard Cider during the ripening process. Our current Amrams are beautifully firm and dry, perfect for grating! Silver Medal winner at the World Farmstead Cheese Awards in 2018, Lyon France! Baudolino: Young spring edition...gooey and delightful. Amazing with strawberries! Baudolino cured in Blaufrankisch wine must: (sold out) We bury our lovely Baudolino cheeses in grape must, which is the skins of grapes that have been pressed for wine! The cheese gets a beautiful fudgy, gooey texture, and the flavor is delicately laced with wine aroma. Excellent with wine, also excellent with ales and ciders! Drumm: Young Spring edition is in! Light crumbly center, runny along the rind. Outstanding. We also still have some of our Autumn production, deep flavor, fudgy texture, almost like bittersweet chocolate. Endgame: Soft and more than a bit stinky, it is a delight for the senses. Forêt, for Ray: 1/2 pound round that has been washed in a lovely sour ale made at Descendants Brewery in Milford. This cheese is so smooth & tasty! Delightful with fruit, fresh green salads, and breads, of course! Grana: A blend of our firmer cheeses, grated for convenience. Use as you would a Reggiano, but a bit moister, with a lovely intense flavor that's perfect on pasta and salads! Jean-Louis: Bold, bright, meaty, with a texture that is light, crumbly, and smooth at the same time. It's a little ugly, which means it's at its best! Jean-Louis Blue: (sold out) This special edition run of Jean-Louis cheese is a blue! The flavor is gently & complexly blue, with a sublime texture that is buttery and fudgy. This cheese is distinctly less salty than most blues!
We also continue to carry the following cheeses made by our Amish colleagues in Lancaster, PA:
Cave-Aged Cheddar: a truly exceptional cheddar, sweet, mellow. Go ahead, use it in mac & cheese...a little goes a long way. Frolic: Alpine style, mild but not simpleminded, great in sandwiches or on its own, melts well. Try it in french onion soup! Cheddar Grand Reserve: (coming soon) made in 2019, this cheddar has lovely crystallization!
These two need to be pre-ordered for Tucker Square:
Amish Schmearkase: (sold out till mid-July) dense, semi-soft texture, nutty and buttery with the lightest hint of stink. Amish Blue: subtle and complex cultures, rich milk flavor. This is the blue that folks who don't like blue will like!
