I went to the Navy Memorial farmer’s market right when they opened, hoping to get some Everona blue. They said that they didn’t bring the soft cheeses (blue, camembert, and feta) out to markets in the summer, as they would soften too much. I’ll need to call them next Wednesday to have them bring some just for me.
King Island Roaring 40s Blue, a nice cow’s milk from Australia. It has a wax rind to keep it the same as when it left the cellar, I suppose. The cheese is named after the infamous Roaring Forties gales which frequently bring westerly winds of more than 100km per hour to the island which lies on 40 degrees latitude.
Calkins Creek Daisy, a nice Tomme cheese make from cows’ milk. The dairy is in the Upper Delaware River Valley – Pocono/Catskill Region of Pennsylvania.
Everona Marble, an Everona cheese that we’ve not had before, it has vegetable ash in it. Very good, as usual.
Brie de Paris, a low-fat brie from Whole Foods. Not as creamy as regular brie, we guessed it was because of the low-fat part.
