KALTBACH

MASTERPIECES FROM THE CAVE Kaltbach cheeses are carefully crafted in the deep, cool Kaltbach Cave. Located in the Alpine Valley of Switzerland, the cave is a 22-million-year-old natural sandstone labyrinth with a small tranquil river running through. In fact, Kaltbach means “cold river” and it’s what allows for a constant humidity of 96 percent in the mineral-rich cave air. The enormous amount of cave-wall surface area helps regu-

late the aging atmosphere and promotes a stable setting for the cheese to ripen. The porous nature of the sandstone acts a give and take—it gives moisture when needed and absorbs moisture when there is too much. This natural process regulates the humidity, which is a crucial part of the texture and flavor development and what makes this cheese unlike any other in the world.

All of Emmi cheeses are carefully aged in cellars and caves across Switzerland. Some of the best are selected for extended cave-aging in the famed Kaltbach Cave near Lucerne.

Fun Facts

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, one of the most expensive grilled cheeses you can actually eat costs $214.

The most popular additions to a grilled cheese sandwich are bacon, ham and tomato.

The actual term “grilled cheese” doesn’t appear in print until the 1960’s. Before then it was all “melted cheese” or “toasted cheese” sandwiches.

April 12th is National Grilled Cheese Day!

April 12 is possibly the most delicious holiday on the calendar—it’s National Grilled Cheese Day! Everyone has distinct memories from their childhood of looking forward to their comforting and toasty after-school grilled cheese. It’s no surprise that this simple yet satisfying sandwich has its own special day.

Though the history of grilled bread with cheese spans many centuries, the modern-day grilled cheese that Americans know and love originated in the 1920s, when sliced bread and American cheese become easily available. The creation of an open-faced sandwich using the sliced bread and cheese and cooked over a hot buttered pan became a quick and cheap staple during the Great Depression and were nicknamed “cheese dreams”. During World War II, the top slice of bread was added and were referred to as simply “cheese filled sandwiches”. The meal once eaten out of necessity eventually evolved into an extremely popular comfort food that has been adapted into thousands of variations.

Clearly, the best way to celebrate National Grilled Cheese Day is to cook up your favorite version of this American comfort food classic. Whether you like it basic or sophisticated, you’ll be grilled to know that this feature is filled with ooey-gooey grilled cheese recipes that deserve to be celebrated. APRIL 2020 | 14

According to a market research study, Americans eat approximately 2.2 billion grilled cheese sandwiches a year.

All Comté cheeses start in the pastures of the Haut Jura, where bountiful nature yields hundreds of varieties of flowers that find their way into the cow’s milk. The milk is collected in dairies where the cheese maker produces cheese rounds. These cheese rounds are then taken to the master cheese maker for maturing. During maturing, the master cheesemaker tests each Comté with a cheese borer to assess its maturity and texture. This regular testing and observation are essential for transferring the rounds of cheese to the appropriate maturing cellars and obtaining the best flavors. The rounds are then kept in a fermentation cellar; this is when the living organisms inside and outside the cheese flourish most. The

final stages of the maturing process take place in a slow maturing cellar and a storage cellar, when the rounds of cheese undergo most of their physical changes. The result of these special maturing techniques at the Fort des Rousses, give the Comté cheeses a nice creamy texture and a strong and refined combination of aromas that linger in the mouth. Patiently matured for at least one year, Juraflore Fort des Rousses Comté cheese bursts with the flavors of the mountains where it is produced. Enjoy their powerful fruity, roasted flavors: the taste of toasted almonds, melted butter, spices and citrus fruits. We invite you to experience a feast of flavors in a range of Comté cheeses.

Cheese

on Earth Champignon Mushroom Brie

efore Earth Day’s conception in 1970, there were no regulations in place to prevent businesses from seriously harming the environment. They could legally release black toxic smoke into the air or dump tons of toxic waste into water. The damage to the environment became public concern with the release of Rachel Carson’s bestselling book Silent Spring in 1962 which raised awareness about the detriment to animals and plants that was occurring and the links between heavy pollution and public health.

If you love mushrooms you will enjoy Champignon Mushroom Brie. Their triple cream, soft ripened cheese with just that: Mushrooms. They started it as a double-cream, but there is just something said about that extra bit of creaminess of a triple-cream. The champignon mushrooms, called white or button mushrooms in the US, are hand picked in Germany at the optimum time to ensure the best flavor. The cheese is made from pasteurized cow’s milk exclusively from the Allgäu region of Bavaria, Germany and is free of gluten and rBGH.

United States Senator Gaylord Nelson decided to give these concerned Americans a voice and proposed that on April 22, 1970, citizens should assemble to communicate their worries about the environment and advocate for regulations to protect the environment to elected officials. His idea was extremely successful—10% of the total population of the United States took to the streets to advocate for a healthy environment. People of all social classes, political parties and ages came together to rally for a common cause. This became the very first Earth Day, and lead directly to the creation of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and many other acts designed to protect the environment. Today, according to the nonprofit Earth Day Network, Earth Day is “the largest secular holiday in the world, celebrated by more than a billion people every year”. The 50th anniversary of the first Earth Day falls on April 22, 2020 and is the perfect time to reflect on your carbon footprint and how you interact with the Earth. In addition to eliminating single use plastic and recycling, one simple way to contribute to the health of the Earth is to support brands that strive to minimize their environmental impact.

Firefly Farms FireFly Farms, producer of handmade cheeses from Maryland, has proudly contributed sustainable energy with the completion of a 27.72 kilowatt solar array at its cheese production facility and specialty retail store. “The completion of this important renewable energy project reflects our corporate commitment to sustainability,” remarked FireFly Farms board president, Mike Koch. “We’re thrilled that our cheese making operations are now powered by the Garrett County sunshine. We share our customers’ commitment to the local economy and the sustainable use of our natural resources and agriculture assets.” The FireFly Farm’s solar project, nearly two years in the making, resulted from an impressive local collaboration from Beitzel Corporation and solar energy engineering, equipment and installation by Tri-State Wind & Solar. The solar renewable energy installation will initially generate at least one-third of FireFly Farm’s total energy demand. This energy conservation work aims to reduce energy consumption and increase the site’s renewable energy production to nearly half of its energy demands. Hailed as one of the best places to visit in Maryland, the solar installation makes FireFly Farms an even more attractive destination. The market features FireFly Farms’ award-winning cheeses as well as other specialty, hand-selected items from the region and around the world.
