Manouri Cheese 1 lbs

Unlike our other French Camembert, this one comes from Normandy, where Camembert was first created in 1791 by Marie Harel. During the French Revolution, a recalcitrant priest from Brie arrived at the Manor of Beaumoncel, in the village of Camembert, and was hidden there by Marie Harel, a farmer. Following the direction of this priest, she created Camembert cheese. The recipe was a success and her children and grandchildren continued the family tradition. Over time, word spread and Marie’s cheese became famous all over the world._x005F_x000D_ Camembert Cheese Le Chatelain is an excellent example of this cheese, with a recipe that is true to the original. It is succulent, ripe, rich, and creamy. Only gently pasteurized at moderate temperatures, Camembert Cheese Le Chatelain retains most of the authentic flavors and qualities of the raw-milk cheese you can buy only in France. Excellent served with light reds from the Loire Valley or champagne, in Normandy this cheese is paired with an apple liqueur called Calvados. Apples, Camembert and Normandy are inextricably linked. Norman dairy farms are peppered with apple trees that protect the rich soil. In fact, some people claim to be able to taste a hint of apple beneath the creamy suppleness of fresh Camembert.

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.

Valbreso feta is a cheese that defies convention. Most people know this crumbly, white, sheep’s milk feta, as a traditionally Greek cheese. However, it can be found all across the mediterranean region – much like olives and olive oils – with different nuances. This particular cheese comes from the South of France, and is made from the milk left over from Roquefort production, that smooth and delicious blue cheese. Valbreso is moist and creamy, with a rich flavor that is well-balanced in salt (unlike most commercial varieties, that are dry and salty), and is milder than most Greek fetas. This is definitely one of those cheese that will make you rethink good old feta! This cheese is great on its own, as a snacking cheese, but can also be used in salads, especially with tomatoes and olive oil. Bring to room temperature before serving. Pair with your favorite white wine blend.
