By Marketing | Cheese, Gourmet, Gourmet Cheese, Item of the Day, What Chefs Want

Port Salut Cheese

Port Salut cheese, also called as Port du Salut, comes from Brittany in the Loire Valley, France. It is named after the abbey of Notre Dame du Port du Salut in Entrammes.
Made from pasteurized cow’s milk, the cheese was produced by Trappist monks way back in during the 19th century. This semi-soft cheese is produced in form of disks weighing approximately 2 kg (5 lb). Though the cheese is produced in big factories now, the handmade version is still produced by various monasteries throughout the French countryside and enjoys a great demand!

Item of the Day: Dancing Fern Cheese from Sequatchie Cove Creamery

By Marketing | Cheese, Chef's Feed, Gourmet, Gourmet Cheese, Item of the Day, Southern Foods, What Chefs Want

Named for the native ferns that sway and nod at the breezy mouth of a cave in Coppinger Cove where the creamery is located, Dancing Fern is inspired by the famous raw milk Reblochon cheese of the Savoie in France.
Tasting notes: A soft and supple texture and barn-yardy aroma, along with notes of cultured butter, shiitake mushroom, and walnuts make it a stand out on the cheese plate.
Pairs nicely with: Pinot Noir, Chignin Blanc, Trappist ales, French farmhouse ciders, marmalades and preserves (in particular grapefruit), dark chocolate, and fresh in-season peaches. Works wonderfully in a classic Tartiflette recipe.
