Featured Cheeses - September 2020
- Country: Netherlands
- Cheese Texture / Type: Firm
- Milk Type: Goat
- Cheese Age: 6-9 months
If you like goat cheeses… and you like gouda, this may become your new favorite all-time cheese! No doubt the first thing you'll notice about this cheese is its striking bone-white rind and paste, a hallmark of a goat cheese. The flavor is intense, complex, and super savory: sweet buttery notes, big tanginess, sweet grass and hay earthy notes, and hints of nuts. In short, a huge, sweet, umami bomb. Its mouthfeel is luxurious, silky and creamy. You could say it’s got it all: good looks, a big assertive, outstanding flavor profile, and super creamy texture.

Another 'Northeast Kingdom gem' from the Jasper Hill Creamery, Little Hosmer is a relatively newer cheese from Jasper Hill. L’il Hos may be small, but he’s already racked up a super gold in 2017 at the World Cheese Awards. This is a small format brie (4 ounces), aged 7-9 weeks, with a white bloomy rind. Look for light flavors of mushroom, cabbage, toasted nuts, and fresh cream. The paste is very soft, pliable, and spreadable, and the mouthfeel is super creamy and clean. We found it a milder brie that will appeal to many cheese lovers and novices alike.

Traditionally made near the city of Lille, France, Mimolette was originally made at the request of King Louis XIV to replace Dutch Edam cheese which he himself banned in Flanders. So the French reproduced Edam, but with a few twists of their own to make it distinct, seasoning it with annatto which gives Mimolette its nutty, sweet flavor and unique orange hue. Mimolette is a very hard cheese, but the fudgy paste becomes smooth and creamy when eaten. Its intensely nutty flavor also offers slight fruity/pineapple notes with just the right amount of saltiness to balance the butterscotch sweet notes.

Landaff is refreshingly different from a cheddar or a gouda. Though fairly firm, the paste is open and crumbly and melts like butter on your tongue. The flavor is milky and tart like a fresh yogurt and develops a mottled gray, natural rind that smells earthy from being aged in the cave-like cellars. The paste is a lovely, creamy yellow and as it matures it forms a slightly darker, richer yellow band just under the rind.

L’Etivaz, named after a small Swiss mountain village, is said to be made as Gruyere cheese was once made over a century ago. An AOP designated cheese, L'Etivaz is made from milk from a small cooperative of 76 cheesemakers that felt that government regulations were enabling cheesemakers to produce Gruere in a way that compromised its original flavor profile and integrity. In the 1930s they created L’Etivaz and eventually sought and obtained AOP designation.

Procured and aged at the renowned Fromagerie L'Amuse in Santpoort-Noord, Holland, just outside of Amsterdam, each batch of L’Amuse Gouda is selected for us by L'Amuse owner Betty Koster. It’s aged for over a year, allowing big crunchy flavor crystals to develop. Over the years, owners Betty and Martin Koster have built up the L’Amuse brand to be one of the more respected gouda producers in the country through their affinage, or cheese maturation process. They’re known for aging goudas at higher temperatures, resulting in greater complexity and dept in flavor their cheeses flavor profiles.

Where the Roth Grand Cru Surchoix also featured this month has loads of flavor up front, Chällerhocker builds flavor as you eat it. It begins more subtly, and the flavor unfolds on your palate to reveal a wealth of deep flavors. This is a cooked curd cheese, so you'll taste that rich custard flavor, but you'll also pick up on a roasted nuttiness and a slight sweetness. The sweetness is due in part from the wine that's rubbed on the rind. It's not an overwhelming sweetness but rather a subtle sweet note that adds to Chällerhocker’s complex flavor profile. Extra cream added back in adds to the rich, creamy, fudgy texture and mouthfeel.

Manchester is named after the town where Zingerman's Creamery was originally located and is crafted from milk sourced entirely from one small local farm (Calder Dairy). It’s a double cream, so pretty rich right out of the gate. This soft, bloomy rind cheese is aged 2-4 weeks and presents a soft, velvety mouth feel. The flavor varies slightly with the season as it largely reflects what the cows have been eating. The rind is completely edible and delicious too. We found its flavor profile earthy, creamy, woody, slightly tangy and nutty, with a lingering, mouthwatering finish.

Winner of the 2016 World Cheese Championship Contest, Emmi Roth’s Roth Grand Cru Surchoix was the first Wisconsin-produced cheese to do so in nearly 30 years. In 1865 Oswald Roth started exporting Swiss cheeses into the US. Fast forward to 1990 and Roth Kasen USA is founded in Monroe, Wisconsin, becoming the first to install copper vats for producing Alpine cheeses and the first to begin using red pine wooden planks to age cheeses in the US.

This soft goat cheese won 1st in its class at the American Cheese Society awards in both 2015 and 2017. It’s a bloomy rind cheese with a wrinkly rind and white paste. The cream line, just under the rind, will age from the outside in and become creamier and creamier as it ages. The paste is soft and melts on your tongue. It's buttery in flavor and as clean as goat cheese comes.

- Cheese Texture / Type: Firm; Mixed Milk
- Milk Type: Cow, Sheep, Goat
- Cheese Age: 6 months
This Spanish firm mixed milk cheese is aged 6 months and uses a minimum of high quality 60% cow’s milk, 20% sheep’s milk, and 6% goat’s milk collected from local farms. While the cheese is being aged, the rind is repeatedly brushed and rubbed with olive oil, leading to herbal, vegetal and peppery aromas and flavors. The paste is light yellow with small eyes. The finish is particularly interesting, reminding us of savory bay leaves. Los Cameros Red Label pairs well with dry red wines and is traditionally paired with a fruit Dulce de Membrillo, a popular Spanish paste made from quince.
