Handmade Cheese

Flagship Reserve is a special version of Beecher’s signature Flagship cheese. It is made only on days when the milk composition is just right. The last curds on the table are used to produce Flagship Reserve truckles as it allows for slightly lower moisture, higher salt content and thus a richer taste and texture- all while maintaining a clean, creamy finish.

OH HONEY

HONEY SEPTEMBER IS NATIONAL HONEY MONTH! CHECK OUT OUR GUIDE TO HONEY AND CHEESE PAIRINGS, PLUS LEARN ABOUT HOW HONEY MAKES IT FROM THE HIVE TO YOUR HOME.

SEPTEMBER 2018 | 10

The earliest recorded bee was discovered encased in amber and has been dated as over 100 million years old.

Today there are nearly 20,000 known species of bees around the world.

In ancient times, honey was the primary sweetener for food and beverages. Before bee-suits, many would take on the painful and difficult task of collecting honey from beehives.

Honey and cheese is one of the most cultivated combinations a person can try. Just a tiny drizzle of honey on cheese creates the perfect combination of contrasting flavors.

For almost 30 years September has been National Honey Month. Beginning in 1989, the National Honey Board began this holiday as a way to promote beekeeping, the beekeeping industry and of course the natural sweetener that is honey!

Many are not aware of how fortunate we are to have such easy access to honey.

Honey is one of the few foods in the world that never spoils, and it takes roughly 22,700 bees to fill a single jar of honey!

Honey bees perform about 80 percent of the world's pollination, which means that we have bees to thank for every one in three bites of food we eat.

Honey bees pollinate crops such as cranberries, apples, blueberries and cherries. Besides making delicious honey, bees are a very big part of our agricultural system, contributing an estimated $20 billion per year to the U.S. agricultural efforts.

It is no wonder that honey bees contribute so much to society as they are born ready to work and with

their own specific roles already assigned.

A honey bee colony will consist of three different types of bees: The Queens, Workers, and Drones.

The Queens are the only members of a colony able to lay fertilized eggs and can produce up to 2,000 eggs in a day. A queen is very important in establishing a strong honey bee colony.

Worker honey bees are all female and their job is to collect pollen and nectar from flowers, build and protect the hive and other task to preserve the survival of the colony.

Drones are all male bees and they only have one job, to fertilize new queens.

During the spring and summer months, a colony could contain roughly 80,000 bees. Sadly, the world has been seeing a decline in colonies for last few years. This September give bees a chance and find out what you can do to help save the bees and celebrate honey by enjoying the delicious duo that is honey and cheese.

SEPTEMBER 2018 | 11

From the Hive to Your Home Ever wonder how honey makes it from the hive to your home?

Once a female adult worker bee collects nectar by sucking out the sugary fluid from a flower using its' long tube-shaped tongue, it stores it in its body in a special reservoir that is referred to as the "honey sac."

Once the worker bee has loaded up on nectar, they return to their hive. At the hive, the worker bee transfer the nectar through their mouths to another bee.

This process is done repeatedly until the partially digested nectar is deposited into a honeycomb cell.

Unlike the thick honey we are accustomed to, when honey is first deposited into a honeycomb it is wet. In an effort to dry it out, the bees then use their wings to fan it until it becomes dry and sticky.

When it is ready, the bees then seal the cell with a liquid wax coating, which eventually hardens into beeswax.

Beekeepers maintain and monitor the hives during the entire process and once the honey is ready to be harvested, they will remove the honeycomb cells from the hive frames and process it for human consumption.

The beer is poured over the curd, allowed to meld, before it is hand dipped and pressed into blocks for aging.

A long, gentle cold-smoking over shells from Oregon hazelnuts infuses Rogue Creamery’s Smokey Blue cheese with an added layer of rich flavor and terroir.

“The Freshest, Cleanest White Stilton In The World!”

T

histle Hill is different to other Stilton makers, as they do not make any blue cheese on their site. The wide range of White Stiltons made at Thistle Hill have a clean and fresh taste which allows it to stand out amongst other White Stilton cheeses. Thistle Hill’s White Stiltons are blended with the finest flavors around, to create delicious and fantastic seasonal cheeses. White Stilton is a Protected Designation of Origin and can only be made in Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire from locally produced milk which must be pasteurized before use. Only seven dairies are licensed to make White Stilton and it can only be produced in a cylindrical shape. As the curds are dropped into hoops which are left overnight to allow the whey to drain from the wheels they are also usually turned three times during this period as the cheese cannot be pressed.

Johnny Appleseed was born John Chapman on September 26, 1774. Although it has been stated that John carelessly spread apple seeds everywhere he went, it has since been discovered that he planted apple nurseries.

Once the nurseries were established, he built fences to keep the livestock out and would leave a neighbor in charge of its' care. John would only return to the nursery every couple of years to tend to it and eventually would sell off the orchards and the surrounding land.

Johnny had multiple purposes for the trees he planted, but despite popular belief, the fruit that grew on them was not edible. Apples are heterozygous, meaning that if you plant the seeds of one apple the resulting apples will bear only a little resemblance to the source apple.

It has been identified that in order to replicate the same fruit, one must follow the process of grafting. Grafting is when one inserts a section of the tree stem with leaf buds into the trunk of another tree.

Despite evidence that apples not grown using the grafting process resulted in inedible fruit, Johnny still continued to solely plant apple seeds. Since the apples his orchards would produce could not be eaten, they were therefore primarily used for hard cider. To his advantage, this was a far more valuable crop than edible apples because at the time cider was essential at American dinner tables and was safer to drink than water.

US-165 •1x10lb • $7.49/LB

Today, apples in all forms are celebrated and enjoyed throughout the year. Not only are apples extremely delicious, but they also contain important antioxidants, flavanoids, and other dietary fibers that are essential to ones' health.

This Johnny Appleseed Day, celebrate John Chapman's pioneer spirit and how he forever changed the apples of America by creating any of these tasty cheese and apple recipes.

ROQUEFORT

Papillon

They say that a young shepherd, in love, was distracted by a shepherdess.

Forgetting his rye bread and sheep’s cheese in the cave of Combalou where he was resting, he left to pursue the girl. A little while later, he returned to this place and discovered his meal covered in a blue-green mold. Famished, he tasted the cheese and was delighted.

Roquefort, alchemy between the natural ventilation of a cave, rye bread and the cheese of the Lacaune ewes had been born.

FR-563 Papillon Roquefort AOP Black Label | 4x3lb | $9.99/LB

In 1925, Roquefort became the first recognised Appellation d’Origine cheese.

Additionally, European recognition as Appellation d’Origine Protégée guarantees a high-quality, authentic product to this day.

To be considered AOP Roquefort, the cheese must be aged in designated natural caves for a minimum of 14 days and then in an aging room for 3 months. Papillon surpasses these minimum requirements, developing deeper flavors by initially cave-aging for 21 days and then for 5 more months under the close watch of Papillon’s Master Refiner.
