Cheese of the month April 2016: Silva from Eggemoa in Mühlwald, Alto Adige/I

Veröffentlicht amAutorUrsula HeinzelmannKommentar hinterlassen

Location: the Cheese Festival in Sand/Taufers in the Valle Aurina in Alto Adige (a very inspiring event – go, if you can). Recommendation from: Dominik Flammer, Swiss food scout and enthusiastic fan of all good things from the Alps. Therefore: top priority, first tasting stop, the Eggemoa table. From Mühlwald, a small village a few minutes drive from Sand in the direction of Lappach. On that table, a small selection of small cheeses, most of them soft. Love at first sight (and taste): Silva!

I had heard about the winemaker Charles Baker, but never tasted his wines. » Weiterlesen…

Regular Bergkäse, mountain cheese, is a more or less mature hard cheese from more or less happy cows. But there are alternatives, even in the Allgäu, like this not so hard goat cheese from a small creamery in Wertach with the sweet name „’s Molkefässle“ (the small whey barrel). For this Robert Maul turns untreated, raw goat’s milk into smallish round wheels. » Weiterlesen…

Two bottles: Affordable red stuff from South America

It was a true winter evening in early January when I decided to treat myself to a red and my hand found its way to this bottle in the wine rack.
