Gjetost, Norwegian Brown Cheese

March 7, 2018 by Erika Kubick 3 Comments

Gjetost

Like A Three-way Between Cheese, Caramel, and Fudge

Gjetost (yeh-toast) is a traditional brown cheese from Norway that tastes a lot
like butterscotch and sticks to the roof of your mouth like peanut butter.
It’s not fancy, it doesn’t have mold, and it’s not even really cheese –
but It’s damned delicious….

Brilliant & Idiot-Proof 

I love cheesecake but I don’t have the skill or patience to bake one and I sure as hell am not turning on my oven in this sticky August heat. Cheesemonger Jordan Edwards of Pastoral in Chicago sent me this recipe for what is essentially 
the world’s easiest cheesecake

Meet Feta

August 30, 2016 by Erika Kubick 2 Comments

door_county_creamery_feta_cheese-3 Everything’s Betta
with a 
Little Feta

What’s My Name? Feta.

What Kind of Cheese Am I? A fresh, brined cheese traditionally made of goat’s and/or sheep’s milk, but there are some cow’s milk versions of me out there too.

Where Am I From? I was born in Greece, but you’ll find me in a lot of countries, from Bulgaria to America.

Three Words That Describe Me: Versatile, reliable, and perky

Fun Fact: Because I’m preserved in a salty brine, I’ll last for 6 months or more in your fridge.

What Do I Smell Like? Fresh cream and sea water  

What Do I Feel Like? Soft and crumbly.

What Do I Taste Like? Tangy like yogurt and briny like oysters

Favorite Foods: Name a food, any food, and chances are I love it! Some of my favorites are olives, freshly baked pita, pickles, roasted vegetables, grilled lamb, sautéed greens, raw tomato slices, garbanzo beans, ripe figs,watermelon, chopped mint, toasted pine nuts – the list is endless. 

Favorite Beverages: I’m a lightweight and can be easily overpowered. Hand me a gentle pilsner or light-bodied red, and I’ll sing. 

Where to Find Me:You’ll find me everywhere, but some brands are too dry and salty and just don’t do me justice. Look for versions of me from France, Greece, Israel, and Bulgaria at supermarkets, such as Whole Foods or Mariano’s. Ask your local monger or specialty food store about local versions of me, too.

What I’ll Cost You: $5-12 per package (6-12 ounces)

Meet Fresh Chèvre

April 10, 2016 by Erika Kubick 1 Comment

fresh chèvre

So Fresh, So Tangy

What’s My Name? Fresh chèvre

What Kind of Cheese Am I? I’m a fresh goat cheese, always pasteurized if sold in America, but you can find raw versions  of me in France.

Where Am I From? Anywhere goat’s are found!

Three Words That Describe Me: adaptable, naïve, and zesty

Fun Fact: I’ve got a less lactose than cow’s milk cheese, so I’m easier to digest.
I’m also high in Vitamins B & D and Potassium too – I’m quite the catch! 

What Do I Smell Like? Fresh and tangy

What Do I Feel Like? Soft, spreadable and as fluffy as a cloud

What Do I Taste Like? Lemony and refreshing

Favorite Foods: I love being melted into sauces, stuffed into lasagne or cannoli, baked into cheesecake, or simply spread on a bagel. For an easy appetizer, drizzle me with honey, sprinkle with pistachios, and serve with baguette or crackers.

Favorite Beverages: I like all things fruity and bubbly! Try me with a sparkling citrus cocktail, tart rosé or a refreshing Hefeweizen beer.

Where to Find Me: I’m easy to find at most supermarkets, such as Whole Foods or Mariano’s. Ask your local monger or specialty food’s store about local versions of me, too!

What I’ll cost ya: about $12 – 18 a pound, depending on the brand.

Look for the labels:
