Friendship Farmer Cheese

A soft, white cow’s milk cheese with a creamy texture and tangy aftertaste. Sharing similarities to Feta, Telemea is used in salads and in pairings with snacks.

An older Manchego gets heartier and more flavorful as it ages. From Merco, Spain, this sheep’s milk cheese has a more developed flavor and firmer texture than younger Manchego cheeses. A good blend of salty and nutty flavors, and sweet hints and buttery taste. Excellent to give a tapas or antipasto platter more dimension. Pair Spanish Manchego cheese with a blanc de noir champagne.

Kasseri is a traditional, Greek-Turkish cheese made from unpasteurised sheep milk with no more than 20% goat`s milk mixed in. It is a springy-textured, white crust, stringy cheese belonging to the pasta filata family like Provolone or Muenster. To obtain the correct texture and flavour, the cheese needs to be matured for a minimum of four months. It is used as a substitute to the famous mozzarella by many American consumers. The cheese also competes against another famous Greek cheese; Feta. Kasseri is preferred by connoisseurs who like full flavoured cheeses. A bite of Kasseri will enrich your palate with exciting salty flavours and pungent odor. But interestingly, it soon leaves behind a sweet aftertaste. This is because of the high use of sheep`s milk. Pale yellow in colour, Kasseri`s mild, palatable, buttery taste makes it an excellent table cheese. It contains a fat content of anywhere between 25% – 45%. When served at room temperature, it can be paired with omelets, sandwiches or used as a pastry cheese.
