EXCITING NEW ARRIVALS - and GREEN WINE??
French Cheeses Arrive
En Français !
Bleu des Basques Brebis - France - $32.00 / LB Not our first sheep's milk blue (Roquefort is sheep) but this special artisan sheep’s milk blue cheese is made in the Pyrenées mountains, a region of the French Basque country. The lush hills are full of the wildflowers and fresh grass that give the milk its complexity, subtlety, and lightness. Enjoy wonderful combination of earthy spiciness and hints of apricot.
Munster Grand - France - $32.50 / LB We've had this one in before - but not recently. If you have not had a chance to try this alsatian delight you must. Forget what you know about sandwich Munster. Our Munster is a soft ripened, washed rind cheese with assertive rustic flavours that are earthy, rich and tangy. An “aromatic” cheese with much loved barnyard qualities. Ancient monastic roots dated back to the early Middle Ages.
Mimolette - France - $19.00 / LB Semi-hard dense cheese has a mild buttery, nutty, rich flavour, with a lingering taste of spice. The orange interior has a smooth texture while the outside is covered in a thin yellow-orange rind. This cheese provides a subtle fruity aroma.
Charouce - France - $15.00 / Each Named after the small town in France where it has been made since the early 14th century. While this cow's milk cheese is reminiscent of some of the most decadent triple crèmes, it is in fact only a double crème! Hints of mushrooms, creamy, smooth finish.
WHY THE FRENCH CHEESE REVIVAL ?
Besides touting the title of world's best cheese producing nation there is another significant reason we're focusing on France this month...
November is Beaujolais Nouveau Month.
You may be wondering (if not you will be now) Why on Earth has she switched to a green font to write about a red wine?
The answer: Beaujolais Nouveau is GOING GREEN this year!! Boisset, the second-largest maker of Beaujolais Nouveau - and the one with the really cool lables that you can find at The Cheese Shop on Park, is bottling its entire harvest in PET bottles that are "absolutely recyclable," said Patrick Egan, a spokesman for Boisset America. PET bottles also significantly reduces the carbon footprint.
Although some wine lovers may not like the idea of plastic bottles, Egan said it does not harm the wine. "It's not great for long-term aging. But for up to three years it protects the wine just as well as glass," he explained.
The green shipment is due to arrive in time for the wine's traditional third Thursday in November release. JUST IN TIME FOR THANKSGIVING!!
Stop in and pick up a bottle or two for the holiday - you'll love the wine and who wouldn't want to reduce the weight of their footprint this time of year?!

New Arrivals & Community Events
NEW CHEESE
Saint Andre - France - $22.00 / LB. What's so new about Saint Andre? This one is cut to order. Imagine an entire 4 pound wheel of the soft ripened, amazingly rich triple cream. The larger wheel allows the creamy center to develop in a way the petit Andres' cannot. If you've never tasted Saint Andre stop in and give it a try. Made from fresh cow’s milk and enriched with pure cream. Bloomy white edible rind, soft creamy center. Its flavor is rich and buttery This sinful treat is perfectly paired with a dry champagne.
Halloumi - Greece - $13.50 / Each. Halloumi is the traditional cheese from Cyprus, and is one of the only cheeses in the world that does not melt when heated. Cut into half inch slices, fry in a small amount of butter until golden on each side and serve with eggs and toast for a Cypriot-style breakfast. Or cube, place on skewers, and grill until golden on all sides. - Opa!
Point Reyes Farmstead Original Blue - California - $24.00 / LB. Creamy with an elusive, salty flavor that is attributed to the coastal fog and briny breezes flushing around the pastureland from Tomales Bay. Aged for at least six months, giving the cheese plenty of time to develop its sea-blue veins and deep, luscious flavor.
