Zerto Asiago

Asiago is a great cheese with a flavour similar to parmesan.  This particular version comes from the United States but the variety is named after a small town in Northern Italy. 

Zerto Asiago is a semi-hard cheese with a crumbly texture and a salty, tangy flavour.  There's a hint of nuttiness and definitely a parmesan-like taste.  I think we used this cheese in a salad but I haven't played around with it much beyond that.  It tastes great though and would make a great addition to any pasta dish.  

Highly Recommended.

Ilchester Applewood Smoke-flavoured Cheddar

In a previous post I raved about Balderson's double smoked cheddar, today I'm going to try another smoked cheddar from England and see how they compare.

Sylvan Star Cayenne with Green Peppercorn

The second of the Sylvan Star cheeses I bought is a bit "fancier" with the addition of cayenne pepper flakes and green peppercorns. Does this addition compromise the integrity of the cheese? Or does it manage to enhance the already great taste of the gouda? Let's find out.

Sila al Peperoncino

I am really not great at blogging in a timely manner. Good thing I never set out to keep a schedule here or I'd be failing miserably.  Today I'm going to finally complete my reviews of March's Cheese of the Month with Sila al Peperoncino.

Grilled Cheese Month: Classic Grilled Cheese with Cayenne and Green Peppercorn Gouda

Sylvan Star Cheese makes a return appearance in this final, only-slightly-late entry to Grilled Cheese Month.  This time I opted for simple, straightforward, bare-bones grilled cheese relying instead on the cheese itself for a twist.  

Grilled Cheese Month: Goat Gouda w/Apricot Jam

This morning I had quite the predicament on my hands. Do I use the last of the Sylvan Star Goat Gouda to make scrambled eggs or an omelette for breakfast? Or do I try my hand at a breakfast themed grilled cheese?

Sylvan Star Cheese Goat Gouda

I was in Grande Prairie last weekend and decided to pop into the Farmer's Market so see what was around. I picked up a couple cheeses I thought would be good in grilled cheese sandwiches and here's the first of them.
