Chizu: a sushi-style cheese bar in Portland/Oregon

Veröffentlicht amAutorUrsula HeinzelmannHinterlasse einen Kommentar

It was a quickie: we had one hour overlap between her getting out of the weekly summer closure and me having to run to the airport. But hey, the things that can happen in an hour… One can discover a new favored place, a bunch of great cheeses, a fabulously dedicated person behind the counter, AND drink a glass of one’s favorite New Mexico (YES) pink bubbly… All that is exactly what happened this afternoon, on 1126 SW Alder Street in Portland, at Chizu. » Weiterlesen…

Heinzelcheese at Riesling Rendezvous in Seattle: July 17-19, 2016

Veröffentlicht amAutorUrsula HeinzelmannHinterlasse einen Kommentar

Three days full of Riesling – in the glass, meeting producers, mingle with somms and journos? Yes!! In beautiful Seattle, organized by Chateau Ste Michelle and the Dr Loosen crew? Double yes! But it gets even better: we brought back the immensely popular off-dry Riesling & Smoked Salmon tasting AND I personally presented some cheese.

HeinzelCheeseTalk Special: Greece – Tuesday (!), May 3rd, 2016

Veröffentlicht amAutorUrsula HeinzelmannHinterlasse einen Kommentar

In May, the Heinzelcheese network resulted in something very special: handcrafted cheeses from the Cyclades. Complete withe local experts! And, of course, Greek wines, from one of the super stars, Stellios Boutaris of Kir-Yianni. Who, unfortunately, could not be present, but the wonderful Aglaia Kremezi and her husband Costas Moraitis came and told us about the island of Kea, the gorgeous cooking school they run there during the summer, and the stories of the cheeses they brought for us. » Weiterlesen…

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

Veröffentlicht amAutorUrsula HeinzelmannHinterlasse einen Kommentar

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!

Cheese of the month February 2016: Totò’s 8 months old Pecorino from Regaleali/Sicily, I

Veröffentlicht amAutorUrsula HeinzelmannHinterlasse einen Kommentar

I just returned from a short week in the north of Sicily. Fabrizia Lanza invited me to experience her „Cook The Farm“ project in situ, and I chose to join her nine (fabulous) students for the week dedicated to cheese – obviously. Now I am full of gorgeous pictures, sounds, light, smells, and my fridge is bursting with cheese. » Weiterlesen…

Cheese of the month January 2016: Burrata from Platform of Personal Pizza for Peace, Đà Lạt/Vietnam

Veröffentlicht amAutorUrsula HeinzelmannHinterlasse einen Kommentar

This cheese of the month comes from Vietnam. Those who follow my whereabouts on Twitter might have had in inkling this would happen… To quote the wonderful Chet Baker: I fall in love too easily, I fall in love too fast. With cheese, that is. Except that I’d like to change that into I fall in love soo easily, I fall in love so fast, so terribly hard that it always lasts. At least with cheese. » Weiterlesen…

We might occasionally act sheepish, and sometimes we are real cowards… but can we really taste the difference between different kinds of milk? Dear HeinzelCheeseTalk family (yes, you are my family, and my bestest wishes to you all for this new year – hope you had some more than decent cheese to start with and a good drop with that!) – it was a pleasure to look at some basics with you. » Weiterlesen…

Veröffentlicht amAutorUrsula HeinzelmannHinterlasse einen Kommentar

One of the most exciting Heinzelcheese highlights this year was the great Turkey tasting during the Cheese Berlin, and that’s why I’d like to serve you a little reminder here in the form of a fantastic artisanal cheese from the Kars region in eastern Anatolia, with the poetic name Angels Hair or Turcoman Tassel: Türkmen Çeçil. » Weiterlesen…

We were very excited and very honored: The fabulous „crazyfrenchwoman“ Isabelle Légéron (MW!) took her RAWfair of natural wines and vignérons to Berlin, to Markthalle Neun (where else?!)! Obviously, we had to live up to the occasion, here on the eastern outskirts of the continent… » Weiterlesen…
