Stinky Cheese Tuesday, August 5th, 2014

Once again, Tuesday has arrived on the wings of cheese, or something.  I don’t know.  No sleep coupled with no sleep has left my brain a little lacking in certain areas, the cohesiveness of my train of thought being the primary victim.  Without further ado, the cheese rundown!  Before I get lost playing with my Storm Trooper Bobblehead and forget what I’m doing again.

We start off today with Kerrygold’s Blarney Castle.  Sean Keene over on Diaspora* pointed out last week that the reason that he loves Kerrygold so much is the fact that all of their cows are grass-fed, with no additives in their products.  Just a pure, natural product.  It’s something that I don’t really mention enough in these posts, but will endeavor to in the future.  Anyways, the Blarney Castle cheese is a super creamy, buttery cheese that would absolutely sing in a grilled cheese sandwich.  Mellow and mild, it is a wonderful comfort cheese.

The second selection was Red Apple Applewood Smoked Mozzarella.  This is an outstanding smoked cheese, as are all of Red Apple’s smoked offerings (try their gruyere!).  Smooth and smoky, this is another one that would just plain rock on a grilled cheese sandwich.  Red Apple is another cheese producer that uses 100% natural milk, and is also responsible for the Screaming Dutchman and Naturally Good Kosher brands of cheeses.

Lastly, our favorite un-Google-able manufacturer/distributer, Country Connection Chipotle Cheddar.  If you are looking for a hot, spicy cheese then you’ll need to search elsewhere.  This cheese has not even a hint of heat, but the cheddar flavor is quite strong, and matched perfectly by the power of the chipotle’s smokiness.  It smells like a barbecue and the taste is amazing.

So that was this week’s SCT, and I amazingly did not get too sidetracked while crafting the write up!  Go me!

Stay cheesy!
