A Fall Harvest: Cheeeeeese




Ok. Sorry loyal blog readers (ha, I mean... sister). I have had work to do for my real job and I have majorly been slacking on the posting. I have a bunch of things to share so maybe I can get a bunch of posts done this morning. Here goes.

So for Christmas, we're ordering a cheese platter. I doubt if it will be as artfully done as this one (actually I know it won't), but aren't these photos beautiful?

Here's a little info about the cheese (sounds like something I may need to try):

"To begin our fall harvest dinner, we served Beekman 1802 Farm’s Blaak cheese. This beautiful wheel is made from a mixture of goat and cow’s milk (Beekman’s own) and is aged for four months. While aging it is coated with ash at every turning. This oh so attractive ash coating calms the acidity of the cheese, is a catalyst for ripening, and forms it’s edible rind."
