Once again, Emmy and I trekked through the rain and the remnants of the weekly Farmer's Market to reach Fromagination! I've noticed that I'm starting to drift over to the brie case, but that's no case (see what I did there?) for alarm. This post includes two week's worth of cheese, so put on your foam hats and break out those cutting boards!
Weekend of 10/6/12:
Maple Butter, cow
~Buttery, smells like maple sugar crystals.
Marieke Golden, cow
~sharp, cheddary, full of crumbly flavor. (we purchased this last week)
Les Freres, cow
~Soft cheese, gentle & almost neautral brie-like taste.
Green Fields, cow
~aromatic, like a cousin of hte limberger.
Fantom Farm
~sharp & light, fresh w/ a little sweetness.
Apple-Smoke Cheddar, cow
~Like a campfire.
Grand Cru Surchoix Gruyere, aged 12 months, cow
~eaten w/ "Pear Honey & Ginger", mild & paired well w/ the preserves.
Emmy & I also tried Salted Almond Stone-Ground Chocolate (Mexican):
Powdery, breaks apart on the tongue like bullion. Rich like cocoa, unlike most chocolates. Not a milky creamy taste. Powders, then melts.
E's notes:
TIPS FOR DRINKING CHOCOLATE: (historical)
~Look on the back of Hershey's for a cocoa recipie. Cocoa, sugar, just enough water to wet, liquor. 1/4 cup sugar at the co-op. When you bit e into it, complex, leaves a clean aftertaste, doesn't coat your tongue.
~~~
And now everything from Fromag this week:
Brazos Brie, cow
~light & perfect w/ the pear preserves, cream & an elevated taste.
Bent River, cow
~slightly mushroomy, light & a little fragrant.
Bad Axe,
~Fresh, light.
Raspberry Sartori (we didn't try it this time, but we've had it before. Purchased.)
~sharp w/ a fruity kick like balsamic vinegar.
The Hungry Girls take Fromagination! See that lovely lady with the cheese board? That's Priscilla, our personal cheesemonger. Ken, the store's owner, took our photo this week and he even posted it to Fromagination's Facebook page. Wow! Thanks, Ken, you're awesome! We looooove cheese, although if any photos ever surface of us with those foam cheeseheads on, it might be time for an intervention.
That's all for now, but boy oh boy have we got an adventure planned for next weekend! Fondue, Hungry Friends, that's all I'm gonna say; Fondue.
See ya soon!
