Editorial Product Review: :On a recent trip to Holland, we discovered a limited production Dutch chevre created in 1993 by the Van Dijk family. Dorothea, named after the Van Dijk's daughter, was created at the request of the famous chef Cas Spijkars. Cas wanted to win the annual Dutch award for 'Most Unusual Food' and thought that a flavored goat cheese might do the trick. They began experimenting with a secret ingredient - potato skins - chosen because the ...
Editorial Product Review: :Bethmale is the most famous of the goat's milk cheeses from the Pyrenees. It is named after the village where it is made, located in the Couserans region of the Comte de Foix. Its flavor is tangy and somewhat spicy yet mild. Legend has it that Bethmale was a favorite of Louis VIs in the 12th Century. It is semi-hard, uncooked with a pressed curd and has few pea-sized holes. Its naturally forming rind is brushed ...
Editorial Product Review: :People are drawn to the vibrant, tangy flavors found only in goat cheese. Great goat cheeses capture the essence of their native pastures and often exhibit fresh flavors such as of thyme, tarragon, rosemary, lemongrass and pine. Their ease of digestion, particularly for the lactose intolerant among us, is another reason for the popularity of goat cheese. For many however, goat cheese remains misunderstood. A persistent victim of 'milk-prejudice,' it is our goal to bring goat ...
Editorial Product Review: :From Anna van Dijk (pronounced Van Dyke), the same cheesemaker that produces Dorothea, our popular Dutch goat cheese with potato skins, comes a cheese bearing her family name. Made since 1976 in the southern end of the Netherlands near Eindhoven, Van Dijk is made from a single herd of 500 goats that graze on pastures of natural grasses and wild herbs. This old-world style of raising goats yields a remarkably flavorful milk that gives Van Dijk ...

Editorial Product Review: :Queso Ibores is made in Extremadura, which is the most rugged, least developed, and most economically distressed region in Spain. This raw goats milk cheese reflects its homeland with its full, simple flavor. It is hard and dense and becomes sharper with age. During its two-month aging period, the rustic cheese is rubbed with a mixture of olive oil and sweet paprika. It is hard enough to shave over salads and hot dishes and delicious as ...
Editorial Product Review: :After an affinage of four weeks, the surface of this cheese is very knobby with a dry rind covered with a blue-grey mold, under which is a layer of powdered charcoal. Its texture is slightly hard at first, then moist, heavy, and claylike as it blends and melts in the mouth. The taste is slightly sour and salty with some sweetness. Pairs well with a 'Sancerre - Pouilly Fume' white wine.

Editorial Product Review: :The cheese industry in Belgium, although smaller and less well known than those of France, Italy or England, is still going strong and creates some wonderful cheeses. Chevagne is one of these Belgian beauties. It is a surprisingly mild and creamy goats milk cheese produced by the Passendale Dairy. Made with goats milk of the highest quality, this smooth cheese is delicious sliced and served on a dark, nutty bread; shaved over salads; or as part ...
