Quel Fromage
Worthy Discoveries
June 2010
____________________________
Greetings
Summer is so close...

I can taste it. Can you? I taste sun-warmed strawberries, sweaty glasses of gin & tonic, and light, fresh cheeses. This month we have you covered, as always, in the cheese department, and our beloved Q-Tonic water is also in abundance. To keep dad's stomach satisfied on his special day we have spicy and bacon-y chocolates galore and a special Father's Day cheese for that "hearty" palette of his.

While you are putting a star on your calendar for June 20, please add a note for Sunday, June 13 . Here at Quel Fromage we will be holding an open house, 1-4pm, to introduce ourselves more personally as the new owners.

Cheers,
Le Fromage Crew

In the Cheese Case
Father's Day Fare

Red Dragon (Lael)

In the spirit of all things (ahem, stereotypically) manly, we have a collaboration of flavors in a new cheese known as Red Dragon: whole grain mustard, Welsh ale, and traditional cheddar. Made by an innovative specialty cheesemaker in the heart of Wales, the cheddar is rich and buttery, balancing out the true-mustard flavor and complimenting the ale. We think Dad will find it difficult to keep this one to himself.

New & Scrumptious
Ricotta
Our new ricotta is so rich and indulgent, we couldn't see it being featured under any other description than "New & Scrumptious". It is buttery yellow and velvety smooth. It is made from Bellwether Farms' Jersey cows milk whey, and the best way to enjoy it is pure and simple. So here you have a perfect and easy dessert or brunch dish, involving a generous scoop of ricotta, a drizzle of honey, and raspberries.


Any fruit you like will do. A showering of cocoa powder...toasted pine nuts... Tangerine Fig Balsamic would work as well! Whatever you do, savor every creamy spoonful.
