 Cheese Press As an advocate of education, owner of Who Cut The Cheese, Ann Tuomela, takes the time to thoroughly train her staff on cheese and wine. This knowledge is then passed along to fromage loving customers when they walk through the front door, out of sizzling Maui and into a cool gourmet world tour. Then she goes even further during monthly cheese and wine tastings, as written about in the Maui Weekly restuarant review by Corrine L. Domingo. As Corrine put it, "There is an opportunity to not only taste new things, but also to expand your food knowledge. Even just a visit to the store will let you take away more information about cheese than you ever expected."It's no longer just food... it's a foodie's journey! To read Corrine L. Domingo's article and learn some great Cheese Tips that every Cheesemonger needs to know, click here: http://www.mauiweekly.com/Restaurant Review/story7204.aspx Due to popular demand, Who Cut The Cheese is now offering a WINE FOR CHEESEMONGERS course, with a session on white wines coming up on Sunday, August 17th.

Instructions Cook Orzo per package for el dente. In the meantime prepare onion and bell pepper. For the dressing whisk together mustard, red wine vinegar, 2 Tbs. of the avocado oil, and half of the tomatillo salsa. Drain Orzo and rinse with cold water to cool, drain well. In a bowl large enough to mix well add orzo, the bell pepper, red onion and dressing and combine well. Shred or grate the Leyden and mix into salad. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight for best results. I like my pasta salad a little “wet” so just before serving whisk remaining Tbs. of avocado oil and ½ cup of the salsa and stir into salad. Top with chopped cilantro if desired. Bon appétit!
cheesetoid by Gordie
I just returned from England (again!). My family and I had another wonderful trip. I, of course, had to stop by Fortnum and Mason and indulge in another Welsh Rarebit (the inside-out grilled cheese sandwich I told you about previously and pictured here). While there, I visited Fortnum’s cheese shop. I was surprised to see many of the same cheeses that we enjoy here in Maui from Who Cut The Cheese, for sale over in London. They carried Blue Cashel (my personal favorite), Roaring 40s Blue, Brillat Savarin, Robiola, Shropshire, and a few others I recognized from the WCTC cheese case. I was interested to find out that Shropshire was originally produced in Scotland only about 25 years ago. If you haven’t had Shropshire, I would highly recommend it for it’s lovely creamy texture and sharp flavor. You can find it right now at WCTC. Aloha and Cheerio from Gordie. Ph. 808.874.3930
