The Pimpinelle dairy sheep farm lies under the wide sky of the Oderbruch, directly on a large river bend of the old Oder. We live there with our animals. In addition to our flock of Krainer Stein sheep, there are our herding dogs Ebba and Mio and our farm cat Fiete.
This is how the Pimpinelles, as I call Amelie and Franziska Wetzlar because of the beautiful name of their farm, introduce themselves on their website. I have been following their development for a long time, full of admiration for their commitment, their determination, their enthusiasm – and all the hard work with which they have developed their originally rather dilapidated farm in Quappendorf into a real gem since the beginnings in 2010. » Weiterlesen…

There is enough going on in this world, close by and far away, to get the blues, big way – we really need all potential antidotes. Cheese helps, says Heinzelcheese… and in case of the blues, it should be bleu. Y’all who immediately wrinkle their nose, because „you know, blue cheese…“ – hang on. Some things, when considered and experienced without any preconceptions and prejudices, turn out to be very different than in your imagination and actually not half bad (idiot politicians and certain kinds of virus excluded). Therefore: Bleu d’Auvergne, the gentle, smooth blue from central France. » Weiterlesen…

Heinzelcheesetalk #58: Blue and sweet, Stilton und Port. Freitag, 7. Dezember 2018

„Die Wälder sind schon schwarz, der Himmel ist noch blau“ – das ist Marcel Proust, der in seinem von Geschmacksinteressierten vielzitierten Roman „Auf der Suche nach der verlorenen Zeit“ (Madeleine! Lindenblütentee!) einen Absatz später dann tatsächlich auch schon wieder beim Abendessen ist. Heinzelcheese fällt dazu natürlich sofort blauer Käse ein, der zum Winter gehört wie Weihnachtsmärkte und lange Spaziergänge im Schnee. Vor allem in Form von Stilton, dem englischen Klassiker, der traditionell zum Jahresende zu Bestform gereift ist – und perfekt zu Portwein paßt, mit dem es sich nach dem Schnee hervorragend aufwärmen läßt.  » Weiterlesen…
