My friends Brian and Christine
of BT McElrath Chocolatier
I'm hoping to convince Brian to teach a class here at Bret's Table
sometime before Valentine's Day. I'll be sure to let everyone know
when exactly it will take place.
I sampled an amazing cow's milk cheese recently called Lagrein.
The appearance of the cheese is lovely in its simplicity, but, it
packs a wallop of onion and grass. The cows pasture in the Alto
Adige region of Italy.
The curd of the cheese is soaked in the red Lagrein wine after
which the rind is often rubbed with herbs and spices before the
cheese is aged. This procedure creates a firm-textured and
somewhat elastic cheese paste with numerous cracks and eyes.
It's a pleasant change to a cheese tray and I have said before what
grows together goes together -- so try it with a wine from the
same region.
