NEW ARRIVALS

We have lots of new arrivals at The Cheese Shop On Park


Munster Grand $28.50 / LB - (I know what you are thinking... $28.50 for Munster?!) This is not your average slap-on-a-bad-sandwich munster. Ours is from France - and as I like to say, is the real deal. This is how Munster is supposed to taste and feel. Soft ripened washed rind cheese with assertive rustic flavours that are earthy, rich and tangy. This is an aromatic cheese that has much loved barnyard qualities. An ancient monastic cheese with roots stretching back to the early Middle. AOC-protected since 1969. Seriously soft, smooth and addictive.

Arico, Smoked $26.00 / LB - Goat cheese from the isle of Tenerife within the Canary Islands, Spain. The aroma announces a hint of what the interior has to offer. Arico is a firm goat cheese with a natural rind, glistening with smoky elegance and a wonderful ivory pate. The flavour lingers long on the palate with hints of wood, smoke and nuttiness.


Caprino Cremosa Tartufo (Goat cheese with Truffles) $9.00 / Each - Produced in the Piedmont region of Italy these small, button shaped goat cheeses have the texture of cream cheese. The addition of black truffle saturates the fresh, milky cheese with further flavour.


Chimay Grand Cru $25.00 / LB - This semi-soft cow’s milk cheese from Belgium was originally made by the same Trappist monks who produced Chimay beer. The same ancient recipe is still used today. It has a natural rind and a pure, mellow flavour.

Pyrenees Sheep Capitoul $18.50 / LB - Firm sheep's milk cheese from France. Well rounded smooth, nutty flavours, without a “bite” so common to French sheep’s milk cheeses. This AOC protected cheese is fantastic with salami (for perfection try it with our Italian Salame di Parma!)

Myzithra $13.50 / LB - We've had several customers mention this cheese to us, so of course, as diligent Cheese Mongers should, we got it in. Aged white sheep's milk cheese from Greece and very common on island tables. Myzithra is made from whey left during the production of feta . This style is easy to crumble or grate. The flavor is salty, tangy, and is a perfect pairing with pasta. Try it over pasta or salad.

Midnight Moon $27.50 / LB - From Cypress Grove's Creamery line this goat's milk cheese is made for the California cheesemaker in Holland (don't ask). With that said - it is aged, hard, crumbly and delicious. Buttery, nutty with hints of caramel – it is firm and dense like an aged Gouda made with goat’s milk.

NOT-CHEESE NEW ARRIVALS
We picked up some award winning savories from Austria - green olives stuffed with a blend sheep and goat's milk cheese and sweet red peppers also stuffed with the blended cheese. These babies need to stay in the fridge so they are in our front deli case (with the salamis and pates).

AS ALWAYS

Food Favorites
Fiscalini cheese "We could tell you how the makers of this cheese create an exquisite texture and rich flavor using milk from their own herd of Holsteins, or how the wheels of their cheese are turned by hand and aged for 18 months. But instead we’ll just say this is the finest Cheddar on the planet." — Oprah
