Käse des Monats Juni 2015: Harbison von Jasper Hill in Greensboro/Vermont, USA

Veröffentlicht amAutorUrsula HeinzelmannKommentar hinterlassen

Man hatte mich gewarnt: Ende Mai, im Reich des Nordostens, könnte das Wetter warm und sommerlich sein, oder es könnte schneien. Ich packte eine Schicht mehr in den Koffer und machte mich auf den Weg. Endlich. Cellars at Jasper Hill, die Reifekeller in Greensboro, Vermont, standen seit langem auf meiner HeinzelCheese-Liste. Wer noch nicht in dieser Ecke war: Upper Vermont ist unglaublich grün, bergig, liegt beinahe vier Autostunden nördlich von Boston und so nahe an der kanadischen Grenze, daß mein Telefon Verwirrungserscheinungen zeigte. Und es war jeden Kilometer wert, in vielerlei Hinsicht. Die größte Überraschung war diese: Harbison. » Weiterlesen…

They warned me: in late May, up in the Northeast Kingdom, it could be hot summer weather, or it could snow. I packed another layer, and off I went, finally, to visit the Cellars at Jasper Hill in Greensboro, Vermont. To give you an idea of place: Upper Vermont is green, lush, hilly and situated almost four hours drive north of Boston,so close to the Canadian border that my phone started to feel confused. And it was worth every mile, for so many reasons. The most unexpected I offer you here, at least virtually: Harbison. » Weiterlesen…

Formaggio means cheese in Italian, but it also stands for one of the most tempting places I can think of on the Northern American east coast. Ihsan Gurdal over the years has created a little paradise for any food loving person – and how he manages to keep it all running so well, I have no idea! The cheese selection is awesome – and I am more than honored to run an evening class on German cheeses and dry Riesling at the original location in Cambridge on June 4. » Weiterlesen…

Gramercy Park in May meant cherry blossoms were long over, but the green oh so lush when I was invited for a Heinzelcheese talk and tasting at the venerable association of Culinary Historians of New York, hosting me at the formidable National Arts Club.

Cheese of the month May 2015: Young Buck from Northern Ireland/UK

Veröffentlicht amAutorUrsula HeinzelmannKommentar hinterlassen

The Heinzelcheese Network is growing constantly, and that makes me very happy. Because this is how I (and therefore you) get to know about cheeses and cheese makers in corners of the world I had no clue even existed. The Young Buck from Michael Thomson reached me courtesy of my Berliner food and wine friend Florian Minzlaff who right now is studying in Belfast. Would I be interested in Northern Ireland’s only raw milk cheese? You bet… » Weiterlesen…
