CHEESY EVENTS:
We’re taking our cheese on the road to Wolfgang Puck's Spago at
the Four Seasons in Wailea. It is the day before Summer Solstice, hence the
theme, "The cure for the Summertime Blues." Yes, this cheese
extravaganza will be all about the big and beautiful blues from France, Spain,
Italy, and the United States. The wine pairings will be global, as well as
eclectic. A Champagne for the reception course, a Spanish white Rioja, an
Oregon Riesling, all to be announced soon--you know our madness!

Stephie Vineyard is now our
CCO. You got it, Chief Cheese Operator--Go Stephie! This should allow increased
marketing activity from the Big Cheese while Stephie focuses on keeping you all
HAPPY!
v
We are busy! Due to this
great phenomenon we will be taking our cheese on the road quarterly rather than
every other month, and as usual, the newsletter will coincide with the cheese
and wine events. Our next cheese event will be in late September, preceded by
the newsletter in early September.
NEW CHEESES
Can Pujol (con Pooh hole)
from the town of Can Pujol in Nevat, Spain. This is a "you-would-never-guess"
goat milk cheese. Hopefully, this popular, “pillowy” delicacy will be
revisiting the first week of June. It is a fluffy brie-like cheese--you gotta
try it! It’s $24/lb and a perfect match with Can Feixes Blanco from the Penedes
in Spain $10/bottle. The availability of Can Pujol is limited.
A new "beau" in town is Beaufort (Bow four). It’s yummy
deeeelicious! This ultimate alpine type cheese, reminiscent of Oyster
mushrooms, comes from France and is made of cow's milk. It’s mellow, yet bold. A
rare find and a little spendy at $29/lb, but a little goes a long way, just as
its flavors do. Elk Cove Reisling from Willamette, OR at $20/bottle is an
excellent match.
CHEESY TIPS:
Got mold? A quick trimming to all sides/faces of the cheese should
solve that. Make sure each trimmed face gets a clean surface when you are
trimming. If mold has penetrated the paste or the body of the cheese, it
probably is not salvageable, or if you still detect a moldy flavor, pitch it.
Best yet, buy your cheese in small quantities and often so it doesn't have time
to mold! Do as the Europeans do, shop DAILY, which is the big reason we are
open DAILY!
Cheers and God Bless,
The Big Cheese, Stephie, Jillyne, Ry-n, and Sanni
