Normally… yet another „normally“ due to the pandemic! Normally I had intended to offer you this little jewel after having paid a visit to the cows and their cheesemaker. But who knows when this might be, and as we are currently finding out how much is possible (or has to be made possible) virtually: to widen your cheese horizons, here is Weißer Bollheimer. Anyhow. Because life needs to go on. » Weiterlesen…

Gouda is Gouda is Gouda – or isn’t it? No, of course it isn’t. And of course as a subscriber of this monthly series of cheese highlights you’re aware of that. But it might be a good idea to refresh your senses‘ memory about the real thing, and treat yourself to a mature, slowly ripened piece, like this gorgeously crumbly, complex 25 months old Buurenkaas (farmers‘ cheese) from Kaasboerderij Booij. » Weiterlesen…

The cheese of the month for February 2020 is: no cheese, but sheep’s milk yogurt.

Almost exactly a year ago the Heinzelcheesetalk community made it abundantly clear to me that as far as they were concerned, yogurt did not qualify as cheese: at the Heinzelcheesetalk no 59 devoted to that subject we were an exceptionally small group of four at the table – which did not diminish our fun in any way. So why this new attempt? Hope… and my own fascination with the stuff, and a major reminder a few weeks ago in Copenhagen, at Noma (sorry, I know this sounds preposterous, and presumptuous – but honest, would you decline such an invitation?!?). The desserts served there tend to be not very sweet at all and therefore wonderfully wholesome (even for a declared „I’d rather like some cheese, please“ person like me). Just like at Berlin’s (apologies again, more namedropping) Nobelhart & Schmutzig. That both places could do more for cheese as such is a different story – but enough digressions. » Weiterlesen…

Since quite some time London has been a constant fixture of the Heinzelcheese universe, and my cheese steps almost automatically lead me in direction of Neal’s Yard Dairy and their wonderful store on Park Street at Borough Market whenever I’m over in England. But this time I never even made it to Neal’s Yard Dairy because suddenly I found myself in front of a small paradise, like a small child before a Christmas tree. » Weiterlesen…
