Veröffentlicht amAutorUrsula HeinzelmannHinterlasse einen Kommentar

The Slow Food Cheese is one of the most amazing, exciting and worthwhile cheese events I know of. For a long weekend the picturesque medieval town of Bra reinvents itself as an immense open air stage, with producers, cheesemongers, affineurs, writers, heavy users and plain regular cheese lovers from all over the world streaming in, discussing, debating, tasting, learning and enjoying. You bet Heinzelcheese can’t miss that one… » Weiterlesen…

September, verwandelt sich das mittelalterliche Städtchen Bra im Piemont in eine Käse-Hochburg. Affineure, Produzenten, Händler, Schreiberlinge, Intensivkonsumenten, Freaks und ganz normale Käsefreunde kommen zusammen, verkosten, diskutieren, debattieren, lernen und genießen. Da durfte Heinzelcheese natürlich nicht fehlen… » Weiterlesen…

HeinzelCheeseTalk Special: Greek Feta and Greek wines. Saturday July 18th, 5pm

Veröffentlicht amAutorUrsula HeinzelmannHinterlasse einen Kommentar

Feta is one of those things many of us just take for granted. For so granted that we don’t even think about it. A cheese nobody could possibly object to, readily available and affordable, to use in a salad, to crumble over roasted veggies… HeinzelCheese was no exception in this – until last fall at the Salone del Gusto in Turin I met a group of Feta producers from Thessaly. » Weiterlesen…

HeinzelCheeseTalk no 15 stays (almost) home: cheese from the Schaalsee! Friday June 26th, 2015

Veröffentlicht amAutorUrsula HeinzelmannHinterlasse einen Kommentar

Last time we had been oh so far with cheese and wines from North America, this time we stayed oh so close to home. Think global, act local – in HeinzelCheeseTalk this translates in knowing your cheeses worldwide while never neglecting what’s made in front of your doorstep. We therefore explored the cheeses from two cheese makers who call the beautiful Schaalsee halfway between Berlin and Hamburg their home. » Weiterlesen…

Consolidating the cheese: Columbia Cheese in Long Island City/NY

Veröffentlicht amAutorUrsula HeinzelmannHinterlasse einen Kommentar

Long Island City ain’t Brooklyn, and it certainly ain’t gentrified. Walking north from Williamsburg, you soon leave the condos with pet-grooming salons and the waves of freshly roasted coffee behind, and once you pass Broadway Stages, you’re in a different world. Ten years ago, Adam Moskowitz tells me, this was a dangerous area. Five years ago, there still weren’t any sidewalks. Today, it continues to be a male dominated world. Its main feature: trucks, of all sizes and all sorts. Trucks are also what Adam’s business is built on: Larkin is a warehouse specializing in food of all kinds. And food of a special kind: Adam’s special little pet business under the Larkin roof is Columbia Cheese. » Weiterlesen…

Cheese of the month June 2015: Harbison from Jasper Hill, Greensboro/Vermont, US

Veröffentlicht amAutorUrsula Heinzelmann2 Kommentare

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…

HeinzelCheeseTalk no 13: Let’s go Dutch – Gouda! Friday, April 24 2015

Veröffentlicht amAutorUrsula HeinzelmannHinterlasse einen Kommentar

You say Gouda, I say Chowda… Is there a cheese that is more misunderstood than this Dutch fellow? For some it’s the ultimate, mass-produced boredom of cheese, reduced to a marginal existence on breakfast buffets and sandwiches, for others it means a sophisticated, aged farmer’s wheel full of concentrated, caramelly goodness. The truth, as usual, lies in both as well as in between. We explored it. » Weiterlesen…

It might not always seem to be the case in HeinzelCheese country, but I assure you, even here life is more than cheese and wine… Therefore I’d love to see you at this event in Berlin, on Saturday April 11. I am honored to be in the company of all those awesome artists. And, just in case you wondered: there will be wine and cheese involved.
