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

By | 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.

If you’ve ever wanted a fabulous butter that would transform your baking, pastries and life in general, look no further than Beurremont 83% butter. Made in the European style, Beurremont is creamy, rich and superbly flavorful – and made right here in America!

Adored by the best chefs in America, this salted European-style butter will make your pastries and crusts flakier, giving a rich French touch to your sauces, ganache and clarifications – and even your morning toast. Beurremont butter is made hours after the milk is milked from the cows, and restocked every 5 days – so it’s incredibly fresh. The 83% denotes the butterfat content, which means the flavor is richer and it also means that a little goes a longer way – you can use up to 25% less butter in your recipes than with regular butter. Its low in moisture and high in creamy, rich butter flavor.

With a touch of fine sea salt from Guerande for added flavor and sophistication, and in a French-style roll presentation, this is an upgrade to your regular table butter. Perfect for hotels, catering, restaurants and B&Bs.
