World Cheese Tasting
Ciresa:
Nostrano di Monte- Made in Italy’s Valsassina valley with the raw cow’s milk of one farmer. Aged and washed like Taleggio but firmer, drier and a bit more sour.
Chas & Co:
Scharfe Maxx- A Swiss cheese made up north near the Bodensee Lake by the Studer Dairy. A firm cheese aged and washed with herb brine for 6 months, which yields a creamy paste.
Chas & Co:
Jura Erguel- A firm Swiss cheese from the Jura Mountains with an unusual mix of flavors for a cross that lands somewhere between Gruyere and Emmentaler.
Kaeskuche:
Adelegger-aged for an extended 17 months! – A small organic Bavarian dairy makes this cow’s milk mountain cheese. Hard, rich and intense.
Ciresa:
Gorgonzola Mountain- A smaller wheel of firm Gorgonzola with bright even veining and a great intensity.
Accompanied with Yuzu Marmalade, Taggiasca Olive Emulsion, Fig, Micro Mint
