T’was Right After Christmas…
And all thru The Cheese Shop
We’ve hurried and scurried almost till we drop.
The baskets and platters deliciously fine,
With cheeses and pâtés, chorizo and wine.
We welcome the New Year, Two Thousand and Ten
Singing Auld Lang Syne and remembering when
Simpler times filled with family and fun
enjoyed to the fullest in Florida’s sun.
Even Cheese Mongers need an occasional break
So the first weekend of January vacation we’ll take!
Heartfelt thanks to all for such a great year
On Tuesday the 5th we’ll be back in full gear!
Happy New Year
From
The Cheese Shop On Park’s

Featured Cheese
GRAFTON VILLAGE CHEESE COMPANY
CLASSIC RESERVE 2-YEAR CHEDDAR
Aged for approximately two years and hand-dipped in black wax, Classic Reserve is the signature product of Grafton Village Cheese and boasts 13 awards. Aging gives the cheese a long time to release its moisture, concentrating and developing its flavors. The extra high butterfat content of the Jersey cow has a creaminess that offsets the "sharpness" caused by the lactic acid in the cheese.
About The Cheese Maker
Cheesemaking has long been a part of Vermont life. Dairy cows grazing the velvety pastures of the Green Mountain State are a familiar sight, and the milk they produce is one of the state's natural treasures, used to make some of the world's best cheddar cheese.
Grafton, Vermont is a likely setting for a world-class cheddar. Cheesemaking traditions in this historic village date from the 19th century. The Grafton Cooperative Cheese Company was founded in 1892 by dairy farmers who gathered together in a cooperative to make their surplus milk into cheese. In the days before refrigeration, there were many such cooperatives in the rural agricultural communities and an abundance of fresh, creamy milk was turned into a food that could be stored for a longer period of time.
In 1912, a fire destroyed the original factory. Several decades later, the nonprofit Windham Foundation restored the company in the mid 1960s, and a new era for the town was born.
Today, quality and taste are the hallmarks of the company's award-winning, handcrafted cheese. The cheese company is part of the Grafton based Windham Foundation, whose mission is to promote Vermont's rural communities. When you purchase Grafton Village Cheese, you directly support the Cheese Maker's mission!

Featured Cheese
RONCAL
Roncal is a firm raw sheep's milk cheese from the mountainous Pyrénées region of Navarre in north central Spain bordering south western France.
We like to say that Roncal is Manchego's big, bold brother.
Piquant flavours with a long peppery finish, Roncal is a beautiful addition to any cheese plate and pairs with full flavoured white wines and reds alike. $32/LB
The Roncal Valley possesses stunning landscapes and
contrasting climates.
The southern valley is enveloped in pine trees.
From Roncal to Uztarroz in the center, the valley is squeezed into
a gully of rock, beech and oak trees.
To the north lies the Belagua valley which is the sole glacier valley
in existence in Navarre, formed thousands of years ago from one
of the strips of ice which broke off from the Larra glacier. Its name
comes from the River Belagua. Belagua's diverse vegetation
includes pine, fir, beech, gall oak, hazel, box and lime trees.
Diversity gives this region incomparable complexity - which is most
certainly reflected in the deep, long taste of Roncal's most famous namesake cheese.
Come in and taste the difference!

The Village of Roncal (above) is found in the center of the valley,
with the river Esca running through it. The village offers a very
interesting array of structures (below) due to a number of typical
features which belong to the architecture of the Pyrenean valleys.

New summertime sparkler
We just got in a great Sparkling from the Loire Valley en France. Loire is known for Chenin Blanc grapes - and this Charles Bove bubbly ($22.00) is 100% Chenin Blanc. What's the difference? It is nice and dry, but not as "yeasty" as pinot noir / chard sparklers. Nice rapid bubbles, and a beautiful long finish - but lighter and easier to drink for those who don't care for heavy Champagnes. Very refreshing in our Florida heat - a lovely summer bubbly. Pairs wonderfully with Saint Andre, Comte or Gouda Truffle (of course what doesn't go with Gouda Truffle!)

Cheese Monger's Favorites Cheese & Wine Tasting - A benefit for The Daily Bread and The Daily Bread Legacy Fund
Tickets are $20.00 in advance $30.00 the day of the event
Bring in one canned food for $5.00 off one ticket, one canned food per ticket please! All canned food will go directly to The Daily Bread and 100% of the net proceeds of every ticket sold plus 10% of all purchases during the event will be donated to The Daily Bread Legacy Fund.
What is The Daily Bread? The Daily Bread is a soup kitchen program started in the kitchen of St. James Cathedral in 1975, when the church started a noon feeding program during the Easter season. As the Easter season ended, the church was feeding more than 125 persons per day, and Father David Page realized that some more permanent solution was needed to address community hunger. He contacted the Christian Service Center, which St. James had helped found in 1971. Out of that need, Daily Bread was born on July 1, 1975. Meals were served at a facility at 61 W. Jefferson Street. Champ Williams, founder of Skyline Restaurants agreed to provide the food, a service he provided for more than 1,000,000 meals.
On May 2nd, the Christian Service Center’s Daily Bread Program celebrated the serving of its three millionth free meal! The Daily Bread program serves free noontime meals from soup kitchens and dining facilities in downtown Orlando and Ocoee.
“I am thrilled that we have reached this milestone,” said Christian Service Center Executive Director Robert F. Stuart. “What started as an outreach of a handful of downtown churches has grown to serve hundreds of thousands of people in need her in Central Florida,” Stuart continued.
Last year, our soup kitchens in Orlando and Ocoee teamed to serve almost 125,000 free meals.
While we celebrate the serving of the three millionth meal, the daily focus remains helping those who are hungry in our community, one meal at a time.
“Unfortunately, there are still people who are hungry and in need in our community,” Stuart pointed out. “This program not only gives our clients a meal, but reminds them that someone cares.”
It took 33 years for the Christian Service Center’s Daily Bread Program to reach the 3,000,000 meal milestone. Now the Christian Service Center has set up a Daily Bread Legacy Fund to assure the program’s continuation into the future.
“Serving almost 125,000 meals a year places a severe strain on our facilities,” said Executive Director Robert Stuart. “That’s why we are asking our community to help us create a legacy fund to provide much needed upgrades to our existing facilities and a financial base for handling future needs,” Stuart noted.
As an example, the Christian Service Center needs to replace the tables and chairs in Orlando’s Daily Bread dining room. Each new table is about $155, and heavy-duty folding chairs are about $21each. So the cost of replacing 13 tables and 104 chairs is about $4,200.
“These are just examples of why we are starting the legacy fund,” Stuart pointed out. “We guarantee that any donation of any amount will be put to good use to assure that Daily Bread continues toward a four millionth meal,” Stuart said.
Friday February 27, 2009 5PM - 8PM. We'll be at Bullfish located at 102 Park Avenue North on the corner of Park & Morse.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
Cheers to a New Year!
2009 is upon us. The new year marks as well the one-year anniversary for The Cheese Shop on Park (January 8th is the actual date). Thus when answering the oddly frequent question 'You're new right?' or some variation thereof, we can proudly answer - No - we've be open for a year and we are here to stay.
Many heartfelt thanks goes out to all of our cheese-loving customers who have made this past year possible. 2008 will, for many Americans, be remembered as a year of struggle, uncertainty and a bit of heartache. But we are looking forward to a great 2009 and we are here to stay.
At The Cheese Shop on Park, we will remember our first year fondly. We will relish in our year-one triumphs, learn from and laugh at our mistakes and mishaps and smile broadly at the nay-sayers who predicted the worst. "Failure is not an option" is our canned answer to the equally odd, if not ill-mannered, question 'how's business?' We are here to stay.
Part of our job, as a "specialty store" is to perhaps assuage stresses, if only for a brief indulgence. One can encounter a new delicacy, or rediscover an old favourite from a time when travel and leisure were frequent and exotic cheeses abundant. "Affordable luxury" is a buzz phrase that The Cheese Shop on Park deliberately avoids. Good food is a necessity, and should not be relegated to the same luxury-only status as is your 4th pair of Christian Louboutins' or another shopping trip to Rue St. Honore. We believe that the food we eat - and particularly the cheese we eat - should taste good. It should be made by humans - not machines - and it should not harm the environment, the dairy animal's welfare or ourselves.
We constantly bring in new and exciting products. We listen to our customers. Many permenant members of our cheese inventory were acquired from customer's suggestions. Some develop an almost cult-like following, like the Norwegian Gjetost or the Dutch Gouda Truffle. Some elude us seasonally, like the handmade Harley goat cheeses with edible flowers from California. Yes the beautiful flowered cheeses will be back at The Cheese Shop on Park this Spring! And we will be here, we are here to stay.
So here's to a new year, to good food, good friends and fine wine. See you soon!
