Sooo cheesy!

Interestingly, a number of customers have approached me
over the past weeks or so asking if I had changed the
Raclette Cheese as they noted a difference in taste
and texture ( for the better that is). I did indeed. More on
this in the February issue.
This issue, I would like to introduce you to a cheese
recommended by my good friend Norbert in the Allgaeu
region of Germany - namely Backsteiner.
Backsteiner, also known as the brick of gold, is a smear
ripened soft cheese with small eye holes all over. It
produces a fruity flavour with a velvety buttery texture and a
slightly pungent nose, almost resembling a very mild Munster.
Backsteiner literately means brick, and the cheese is so called
because of its brick-like shape. The small Sibratsgfall dairy in
the upper Bregenz Forest is well-respected for its regional specialties
such as this Sibratsgfall Bachensteiner.
Now available at Online Butchery and at Huber's Butchery @ Dempsey!
