May Cheese of the Month: Emmi Emmentaler
Emmentaler is originally a cheese from Switzerland. It is sometimes known as Swiss cheese in the United States, although Swiss cheese does not always imply Emmentaler. The semi-hard cheese originally comes from the Emme valley.
The guidelines for “original Emmentaler” require the cheese to be aged for a minimum of four months. It is produced in a round shape with a natural rind and aged in traditional cellars. The original Emmentaler exists with different age profiles: classic – four months, reserve – eight months, and Premier Cru – 14 months.
Emmi Emmentaler of Switzerland continues to be handcrafted the traditional way in small village dairies according to recipes handed down for more than 450 years. The milk used is delivered twice a day. It is produced with raw cow’s milk, adding only natural ingredients (water, salt, natural starter cultures and rennet). Preservatives or ingredients from genetically modified organisms are not allowed.
Now only $13.99 lb.

April Cheese of the Month: Grafton Village Clothbound Cave-Aged Cheddar
This is a class cheddar cheese, wrapped in cheesecloth as it slowly aged. The cloth ensured the cheddar retained its natural moisture while resting in Grafton’s own caves. This process results in a bold cheese with both nut and mushroom notes. The world took notice in November when this cheddar took Gold at the World Cheese Awards in England.

September Cheese of the Month: Champignon Cambozola Classic
Rediscover fine cheese with this signature soft-ripened triple-cream Cambozola. A distinctive cheese featuring delicate blue veining, but is neither blue nor brie. The secret to this cheese’s popularity lies in the rich Bavarian milk used in its production, which lends Cambozola an extraordinary flavor and velvety feel.
This popular cheese is the perfect addition to any cheese plate, or atop a sandwich for an upscale twist. It is well-suited for appetizers, salads, sliced meats and sauces. Cambozola’s name ties this cheese to the history of our Allgäu region: in 300 A.C. there was a settlement in Bavaria called Cambodunum where the art of cheese-making flourished.

Beef Burgundy
I hope you got to your favorite Sendik’s for the One Day Meat Sale. It was another fun day here in Germantown. I love the energy of these events! I think everyone in the county was here at one time or another. Not only was the meat popular that day, but so was good Wisconsin Cheese. I put together my version of Beef Burgundy in the old Nesco and treated our guests with this classic delight. Read the rest of this entry »

Layered BLT Dip
I’m a morning person. This is how it goes… get up, feet on floor, find glasses…. stagger to the coffee pot (which my husband obediently makes every morning). Pour my coffee, plop down at the table and star into space. After about 3 cups of high-test, my brain starts to work and I begin to think of the day ahead. Read the rest of this entry »
