The
Boorenkaas or Farmers' gouda
has been spectacular.
Farmhouse
Gouda made by hand on small family farms from unpasteurized milk,
often
from the farmers’ own herds. Boorenkaas, or “farmer’s cheese,”
is
the name for these traditionally made Goudas whose flavor harks back
to centuries past.
Made
in wheels weighing between 10 and 200 pounds,
Boorenkaas
is aged for a minimum of three months and up to three years.
Aged
Gouda, especially that made from raw milk, takes on a lovely sweet,
nutty,
caramel-like flavor that is seen in cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano.
Boorenkaas
is only made from May through October when the cows
are
allowed to graze in the lush green fields that are influenced by
low-lying peat bogs.
Serve
with fresh fruit, nuts, deli meats, and other cheeses on a cheese
board.
Young
Gouda goes best with beer or light, fruity wines.
HUMBOLDT
FOG®

soft, surface ripened goat milk cheese.

Each handcrafted wheel features a ribbon of edible vegetable
ash along its center and a coating of ash under its exterior
to give it a distinctive, cake-like appearance.

enzymes, organic vegetable ash.

MIRRORS TRADITIONS OF
THE BUROUGHS IN ASIAGO
Trugole
is a small borough in the high planes of the Asiago region.
It was here that a lovely Asiago style cheese was first produced
that has lead to the Trugole
cheese of today.
The pastures at a high altitude produce extraordinarily rich foliage
resulting in rich and fruity milk from the cattle that graze here.
Producers of Trugole
have gone to great measures to follow the traditions
that originated in the borough of Trugole
in Asiago.
When first placed on the palate, you will notice the similarities to a
young Asiago.
The fresh, resilient paste, pale yellow in color,
is sweet with a delightful fruity finish.
The texture is semi- firm, indicative of the 6 month aging.
See you soon.
