Wabash Cannonball is an ashed goat milk cheese from @capriolegoatcheese. Can you see that the outside looks like a wrinkly brain? This is because of a geotricum rind – geotricum yeast provides a very gentle and slightly sweet flavor. We always suggest eating the rind of this cheese, as it is so delicate and adds so much flavor to a stunning cheese! — 08/20/2022 #milkfarmlunch 1) HBB: French ham, fromage de meaux, cracked black pepper, & herbed butter on baguette 2) SPECKTACULAR: fromage de meaux, greens, & fig jam on baguette 3) PROSCIUTTO ITALIANO: fresh basil, EVOO, sundried tomatoes, Fontina Val d’Aosta, greens, & balsamic on baguette 4) MUFFALETTA: garlic aioli, Salami Rosa, fresh herbs, Louisiana chopped olive salad, greens, fresh mozzarella, & EVOO on focaccia 5) MILKFARM GRILLED CHEESE 6)

Some of us have been working with cheese for so long that we often match our clothing to cheese wheels! Alp Blossom is a customer & staff favorite – and for good reason! This Alpine-style cheese is covered in flowers, herbs, & grasses growing wild in the Alps.

I know we’re allllllll about burrata right now (hello, & season!), but have you considered using Crescenza instead? This Italian cow’s milk cheese is super mega creamy and luxurious, almost like an ultra-dense ricotta. We also love it shmeared on bread with ikura (delicious fish eggs!) — 08/18/2022 #milkfarmlunch 1) THE CLAUDINE: fresh cucumber, Gruyere, cracked black pepper, Genoa salami, & herbed butter on baguette 2) FRENCH HAM: Dijon, cornichons, Gruyere, fresh herbs, greens, & garlic aioli on baguette 3) *TOASTED* HBB: French ham, fromage de meaux, cracked black pepper, & herbed butter 4) MILKFARM GRILLED CHEESE 5)

If you’re looking to stay cool and not cook during these hot summer days, might we suggest cheese for dinner? Cabra al Romero is an excellent summer cheese, as it has a tangy and refreshing flavor. Rubbed with lard and densely coated in rosemary, this Spanish goat cheese pairs perfectly with a juicy red wine and Jamón Ibérico! — 08/17/2022 #milkfarmlunch 1) HBB: French ham, fromage de meaux, cracked black pepper, & herbed butter on baguette 2) PROSCIUTTO ITALIANO: fresh basil, EVOO, Fontina Val d’Aosta, greens, sundried tomatoes, & balsamic on baguette 3) MILKFARM GRILLED CHEESE 4)

Honored to represent our community of Cheesemongers as a judge alongside @mvoltaggio on The Food Network’s Alex vs. America for the episode on ?CHEESE! The first of 6 showings is tomorrow, 8/14 at 6pm pst. I’ve been watching The Food Network since it started in the early 90’s with @emeril when he was a one-man-show in Essence of Emeril (anyone else remember him yelling “yeah yeah” to his production crew ?). I had such a great time filming and I truly hope I represented our industry of Cheesemongers well!Talking about cheese and eating cheese is my most favorite thing in the world. I’m so nervous…but I hope they included my embarrassing reference to the movie Face Off ? and when I gestured the “chef’s kiss” with my hands to my lips . Tune in!
