A MONTHLY GUIDE TO YOUR NEXT FOOD ADVENTURE!

VOLUME 8 - AUGUST 2015

Simple Summer Nights Hanging on the patio. Sitting on the deck. Partying on the porch. Lounging on the stoop. Wherever you are spending your summer nights, keep it simple with local cheeses, classed-up cocktails, and balsamic you can put on anything.

CHEESE #1

BIRCHRUN BLUE Birchrun Hills Farm — Owned and operated by the Miller family in Chester Springs, PA. Sweet, peppery, mild, and creamy.

Semi-soft with a tendency to crumble in slow motion. Delicately blue and oh-so-pretty!

CHEESE #2

CHEESE #3

SEVEN SISTERS *

HAVILAH

The Farm at Doe Run — Born on the philosophy of simple, sustainable farming in Chester County, PA.

Cherry Grove Farm — A farming paradise tucked away in the shadow of Princeton, New Jersey.

The taste of summer in a yellow submarine.

Both Swiss-ish and Gouda-ish at the same time.

High quality milk makes high quality cheese. *Limited seasonal availability! Grab it while supplies last!

Going out in a Glaze of Glory!

With the consistency of chocolate sauce, you bet it’s okay to pour this Modena, Italy import over a pile of ice cream. Use it as a marinade, too, but don’t write off its sweet, syrupy flavor until you’ve covered veggies, swordfish, chicken, and pineapple slices with it and thrown them mercilessly onto a hot grill.

5 WAYS TO USE BALSAMIC GLAZE 1. Delight your guests by drizzling balsamic on skewers of melon, prosciutto, and mozzarella.

2. T ake your grilled cheese to the next level with roasted tomatoes, mozzarella, and balsamic glaze.

3. Add a tasty twist to salmon with balsamic glaze and spices.

4. Balsamic glazed pearl onions provide pizzazz for the perfect side dish.

5. Nothing is more delicious than sweet, juicy fruit with this tasty balsamic glaze.

Pour on peaches and vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert.

Yay!

Hooray! Four of our wonderful cheesemongers competed in the Cheesemonger Invitational on Saturday, June 27th in Long Island City, NY. Malachy from The Franklin placed in the Top Ten and Certified Cheese Professional Leslie took home second place!

“We put on a damn good show, but behind the scenes we all understand that the union of our industry professionals in an environment that promotes knowledge, learning, cohesion, understanding, tradition, and growth means more than any amount of bragging rights or cow-shaped trophies,” said Leslie.
