Rockin Horse

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

I was on a quick trip through Whole Foods in 'jersey and decided to see what local cheeses they had in stock. I've been unable to get to the Fair Food Farmstand in Reading Terminal for a couple of weeks, so I'm taking the opportunity to find local cheeses any ...

Bi-Partisan

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Yet again, another Sunday, another convenient opportunity. I just happen to be in the vicinity of DiBruno Bros., so I figured it would be worth a quick trip to check out the goods. I quickly noticed something unusual and thought it might just be the elusive Bi-Partisan from Lazy Lady ...

Ubriaco del Piave

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

Last week I was near DiBruno Bros. and decided to do a walk through of the cheese section, not really intending to buy anything as I was a bit too busy to do cheese tastings, but I figured I was there, the weather was nice, etc. Nothing really caught my ...

Fat Cat

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

Fat Cat is Birchrun Hill Farm's blue cheese base without the addition of mold. It is a natural rind cheese made from raw cow’s milk, aged 80+ days. Birchrun's cheeses are from cow's that are grass-fed, hormone, as well as antibiotic, free. I always like to re-iterate that great point ...

Barely Buzzed

Monday, May 25th, 2009

Another Sunday afternoon, another trip to Tria since they had Dock Street Dunkel-Berlinerweiss on tap, and who can't resist a Berlinerweiss on a warm summer day! The local (e.g., Northeast, Mid-Atlantic) cheese selections were non-existent, so I went for anything from the U.S. There was a really interesting cheese from ...

Brabander

Monday, May 11th, 2009

Another new farm, another new cheese. Brabander is made by Fallsdale Farm in Tyler Hill, PA. It's all natural and made from raw cow's milk. One of the striking features of this cheese was the terrific, craggy washed-rind. It gave the cheese a lot of "character." Brabander is a "classic Dutch ...

Wallaby

Monday, May 11th, 2009

I was in the area of Reading Terminal and decided to stop by Fair Food Farmstand. There were several new cheeses from creameries I hadn't tried. Wallaby is made by Keswick Creamery near Newburg, PA. Wallaby is made in a style similar to "... Monterey jack-style cheese that we allow ...
