I don’t know how the past days went for you – but Gustav and I deep dived in WAY too much Thanksgiving deliciousnesses. Duck, Stuffing, Caramel Pecan/Pumpkin Pie – and this just to name a few!
So for our Sunday afternoon snack – we decided for *Ons Genot* and rich flavors without the heavy, fatty components.
Sürk Peynir – tasty and dry as Bonds Martini
Recently for our pre-dinner snack Gustav managed to get his paws on *Sürk Peynir*, a dried cottage cheese from Turkey’s southernmost province, Hatay.
Herve – your warrior against July´s city smells
In these hot July days a beer often seems like the Holy Grail, but we all know that even the best drink cannot replace cheese as our daily staple food.
Therefore, on our tasting plate today: <Herve affiné à la Bière >, a cheese that perfectly pairs whatever beer you were already planning to have.
CATALONIA – A CHEESE GETAWAY moved to 2021
**Due to the current situation we unfortunately will have to cancel our October Trip to Barcelona and move it to spring next year. The dates will be announced in time on our website as well as our social channels.
For everyone who is in the area before then make sure to check out the Aborigens website for current events and happenings. They will make sure you have an unforgettable time with delicious foods and drinks!
To get an idea of next years travel read below how it was set up for this October**
Pont- l´Évêque – bridge, bishop, town, cheese..wait – whaat?
Gustav says he unconditionally loves almost every cheese, but the cheeses he loves most are the aromatic-,deep-dive flavor ones.
He also says *Pont-l’Évêque* more than fits into his predator pattern. So let’s investigate.!
Cheese Up your summer!
Summer arrived and it seems like a lot of us this year will either not go on vacation at all or will choose a destination nearby. But hey – this is not the end of the world and many great things can be discovered just around the corner.
Bleu des Basques -something blue for the wedding
Gustav and I are real blue cheese lovers, so whenever we are on a cheese hunt we make sure to also get at least one blue wonder. That´s just our thing I guess and we can´t really help it – and honestly why should we, right?
Pecorino Paglia e Fieno
Want to take a deep Italian flavor dive?
How about pairing your red with some “Pecorino Paglia e Fieno” ?
This Pecorino happily ripens in a cosy coat of straw and hay, keeping it warm while arming it against invaders and providing it with a unique taste.
Imbriago – Ubriaco? wait – who is drunk?
Maybe you are too old to get drunk, or over it, or never wanted to be – but if you chose “il formaggio imbriago” as your evening companion, your cheese is certainly not.
Obazda – the bavarian mash-mess
Usually in spring when days get warmer Bavarians swarm to the beergardens to enjoy the bavarian signature cheese Obazda and being from Munich of course one of those people is me. But since life right now is a little different Gustav and I want to give you a home recipe and repost a memory from 2018 where we went to Munich, capital of Bavaria and herewith of the region the Obazda was granted PGI certification in 2015.
