Coastal has been developed to appeal to the consumer demand for rich, rugged and mature cheddars.

Aged for a minimum of fifteen months, Coastal is often characterised with a distinctive crunch – a result of the calcium lactate crystals which form naturally in the cheese as it matures.

Aged for up to fifteen months which bestows it with its rich and intense flavor but the culture used also adds a contrasting subtle, sweet, top note.

From time to time, you may encounter a characteristic ‘crunch’ when you bite into this cheddar – a consequence of the calcium lactate crystals which form naturally as the cheddar ages.

If someone asked you what a fig is, chances are you'll most likely say its a fruit, right?

Technically you're not far off, but the truth is that figs aren't actually a fruit, they are inverted flowers. Fruit or not, it is no wonder why the fig has its own week. Figs are an amazing source of essential minerals such as magnesium, calcium, potassium, copper and vitamins K and B6. Together, these amalgamations have the capacity to hinder kidney and liver problems, regulate blood sugar levels, prevent macular degeneration and high blood pressure, assist in weight loss and protect the heart.

Figs are among the oldest nourishments consumed by humans and are in fact mentioned often in the Bible. Their most famous mention was in the story of Creation.

It is written that when Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden they used fig leaves to cover themselves with. Some scholars have gone as far as to argue that the forbidden fruit was actually a fig and not an apple. In Ancient

Greece, dried figs were an important part of the daily diet like olives and wine. In Greek legend, figs are associated with Demeter, the Greek goddess of agriculture and fertility.

The fig was referred to as the "fruit of the gods" and used as training food by early Olympic athletes. Ancient Olympian winners also received figs as the first Olympic medals.

Figs have been viewed as symbols of peace and prosperity, but they are also a symbol of the fall harvest. Figs are in season in early June and then from August through October.

Don't miss out on this year's National Fig Week, which runs from November 1st to 7th. Honor this deliciously sweet holiday by creating one or all of the seven recipes we have included to help you celebrate each day of National Fig Week and remember, its no fig deal, you got this!

A unique Stella recipe, Fontinella Cheese is delicately sweet and creamy smooth with just a hint of sharpness.

It melts beautifully in sauces and casseroles, and is superb in grilled sandwiches. In fact, the name comes from the Italian word “fondere,” which means melt.

This versatile, pasteurized Wisconsin cows’ milk cheese is aged 2 months and has a semi-hard texture. A favorite of many professional chefs as a zesty, change-of-pace flavor on pizzas, Fontinella works nicely in a variety of Italian-style dishes, too. Try tossing tortellini and diced Fontinella with vinaigrette and spring vegetables; broil sliced Fontinella on focaccia bread; or top ravioli with grated Fontinella to add a fantastic finishing touch.

Stella Rosemary Asiago Cheese is carefully handrubbed with extra virgin olive oil and rosemary, infusing the memorably sweet and savory flavors of aged Asiago with a robustly herby aroma and flavor. Asiago cheese is, by nature, slightly sweeter and nuttier than Parmesan. The combination of this cheese’s

picturesque rosemary cloak and its closely monitored six-month aging period allow these appealing flavors to develop even more fully.

This traditional Italian favorite was originally developed in its namesake: the village of “Asiago” in northern Italy.

Currently made with the USA with pasteurized, Wisconsin cows’ milk, Stella’s Aged Asiago is slightly sweeter, smoother and nuttier than Parmesan with sharp, robust flavors thanks to a minimum of 12 months of aging. Add panache to pastas, potatoes and salads. Using this gastronomic favorite in your kitchen couldn’t be easier!

Serving Suggestions: • Stir into minestrone soup • Sprinkle over pasta with tomato-basil sauce

• Sprinkle over potatoes au gratin & broil briefly to melt • Add to garlic bread and broil until melted

DECISIONS

W

ine and cheese, cheese and wine – the perfect pairing that is known globally to never disappoint. What makes this pairing so perfect though? Is it simply that they just go together naturally or is there something scientific behind it?

We can thank tannins for this perfect pairing. Tannins are naturally occurring compounds found in grape skins as well as seeds and stems. Tannins are released from the skins, seeds and stems when they soak in the grape juice just after the grapes have been pressed, giving wine its signature dry characteristic. The longer the skins, seeds and stems soak in the juice, the greater tannin characteristics the wine will have, giving it a stronger bitter taste. Tannins are also a natural antioxidant to protect the wine allowing it to be aged and help add complexity.

So what exact role does tannin play for pairing wine with cheese? Scientists have found that high protein and high fat foods help counteract the taste of tannin in wine, making cheese the ultimate pairing partner. High fattening foods such as cheese, wash away the tannin making wine softer and easier to drink giving it a less dry mouthfeel.

Between textures, acidity, weight and sweetness, the flavors and properties of wine are endless but there is always a perfect cheese pairing for every wine. So this Holiday season sit back, pour yourself a glass of your favorite vintage and enjoy these tempting wine and cheese pairings we crafted so you don't make a pour decision.
