Product Description
While Riesling enjoys a great status in Europe, it is only recently that Americans have come to enjoy its racy nature and fruity acidity, and truly appreciate its value at the dinner table. The same is true with Rieslings' incredible affinity to cheese. After an exhaustive session, we hand-picked the following cheeses to complement our favorite Rieslings. San Simon: Surrounded in the west and north by the Atlantic Ocean and mountains from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, Galicia has always been a remote region of Spain. This isolation fostered an ancient cheese culture. Here the Galacia cows graze on the lush green pastures and bear milk that its people have been making into cheese for generations in the town of Villalba. San Simon is aged 2-4 weeks, lightly pressed and then gently smoked for 2 weeks after leaving the mold. Inside its red, polished brown rind, San Simon has a creamy, buttery, smoky flavor that ranges from mild to piquant. Matured to perfection, Cave Aged Emmental is a special taste experience! This Swiss has a dark brown rind and a unique, nutty, full-flavored taste. It is manufactured by Emmi, master cheesemakers since 1782. Aged for 12 months in undersground sandstone caves deep below the Santenberg in the Canton of Lucerne. A fresh sheep's milk product from Sardinia, Muravera is Sardoformaggi's signature cheese. Soft in texture with a slightly tangy, lemony flavor, this cheese is best served with the meal, either before as an hors d'oeuvre, or after as part of a dessert course. It comes from mountainous northern Sardinia, which is an important fact because the southern part of the island gets very little rainfall, resulting in dry grasses for grazing and thus, less flavorful cheeses. Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal or greater value.Riesling not included.
