I was $22/lb, but it was worth it.
Manchego and membrillo with olive bread and a glass of Rioja alta. Manchego for me should be two yrs old, it then makes your teeth itch when you eat it.Sorry to see Manchego has not received honorable mention here. Not all Manchego seems to be good (just like the Bel Paese here in the states does not hold a candle to the same that was available in Italy). We like to munch on Manchego accompanied by a tart quince preserve.
mmmm, the sage is a great idea. I'll have to keep an eye out for the Cotija. Know any major stores that sell it? or should I just check around?
My fav is Stilton a strong blue veined cheese eaten on digestive biscuits.
Stilton Pie.
Blind bake your pastry in a flan ring.
Slowly caramelise thin sliced onions in a pan then turn down the heat and crumble in lots of Stilton, work into a stiff paste and spread on the base of your pie crust.
Mix egg yolks with double cream and a lot of ground black pepper, pour on top of paste and bake till golden.
you can use a basic pie crust, I would use Pate Brisee, using either it will be delish.My husband can't stand and blue veined cheese (it's a mental thing) but I love it. I may just have to try this recipe while my parents are in town so my dad can share it with me. Do you use just a basic pie crust?
Yes. It is available. Most of it comes from the province of Quebec. The laws are a bit funny right now. You can't buy raw milk, but you can buy cheese made with it. You can drink raw milk from your own cows, but you can't sell it. There are some co-operative farms that allow you to have a shared ownership of a cow and you can take the milk home for your own consumption. Meanwhile, Canada does permit the sale of raw milk cheeses that are aged over 60 days. In 2009, the province of Quebec modified regulations to allow raw milk cheeses aged less than 60 days provided stringent safeguards are met. Canadian Health and Safety laws can be a bit loopy.do you get cheese made from raw or un-pasturised milk in North America
