3rd PLACE SOFT RIPENED WASHED RIND – AMERICAN CHEESE SOCIETY AWARDS 2023
MouCo ColoRouge is a natural rind cheese that is reddish-orange in color with a slight white finish. Soft and creamy is a great description for the textures as well as taste and aromas. Mildly earthy tones compliment the slight acidity of the young cheese. As it ages the cheese will start to soften, develop a pronounced buttery characteristic as well as develop a further complexity in its earthy characteristic. MouCo ColoRouge is fully aged at 7-8 weeks. At this point the cheese flavor is quite complex with its buttery creamy flavors as well as a developed earthiness that is spicy and …well…just addictive. The cheese just begins to get gooey when left to warm to room temperature.
A true AOC gem. It`s significant fruity nutty flavor is derived from milk from Manech and Basc Beanaise sheep. A perfect picnic cheese. Pairs well with nearly any fruit or vegetable, and also salty meats such as Prosciutto di Parma.
Manchego is aged for 3 months or longer, and is a semi-firm cheese with a rich golden color. It comes in a 10-inch diameter wheel, 5 inches thick with a herringbone design on the rind. It ranges from mild to sharp, depending on how long it is aged.
Fourth generation cheesemaker Javier and his wife make this teardrop shaped cheese in their home in Lugo, Galicia, which also doubles as a cheese plant. It’s a tiny operation with only 4 employes, and the care with which this award-winning cheese is made shows. Javier waits until the end of the process to smoke the cheese with birch wood for up to 90 minutes. It develops a lovely caramel colored exterior, a golden interior with tiny eyes and a subtle smoked flavor. Javier says the aroma reminds his customers of a time gone by, when their food was cooked over a wood-fired flame. We couldn’t agree more.
This semi soft goat cheese is soaked in the traditional style wine of the region, Doble Pasta, which is made from the Monastrell grape. The cheese is aged for 60 days, so that you can still enjoy some of the wine’s flavors and the rind takes on an attractive violet hue. Drunken Goat® is mild and smooth, not goaty, with a touch of fruitiness in the finish. Forever Cheese was the first importer of the D.O.P Queso de Murcia al Vino and since then has been instrumental in helping to protect the D.O.P in the U.S.
Capricho de Cabra is a creamy, flavorful cheese produced with milk Murciana goats, which produce milk high in fat and protein to give the cheese its amazing creaminess. The cheese is dense and gives a burst of flavor with a sweet finish.
