Perfect

Picnic Picks Break out your wicker basket and your checkered blanket--it's picnic season! As English playwright W. Somerset Maugham’s once said, "there are few things so pleasant as a picnic lunch". Enjoying the sunshine and gathering with friends around delicious food and ice-cold drinks is the perfect way to end summertime.

Picnics are not only a fun way to eat and enjoy time with loved ones, but spending time outside is good for our physical health. Breathing fresh outside air can help clear your lungs and can increase energy and focus. Spending time outside on a sunny day can aid in vitamin D and calcium absorption. Don't forget the sunscreen! Ideal picnic foods should be able to be served cold and be eaten without a fork, knife or plate. Sticking solely to hand-held foods on your picnic helps lighten your load and makes it easier to get to your final picnicking destination. Fall is looming on the horizon, so this August, be sure to take advantage of the final days of summer by relaxing in the sun with a basket full of your favorite foods. Keep reading for delicious recipes to help you achieve picnic perfection!

Fromager d'Affinois cheeses have been made by Fromagerie Guilloteau for 40 years”.

AUGUST 2021 | 16

Photo courtesy of @ Images et Associes

The story of Fromagerie Guilloteau begins nearly 14 years before the now-famous cheese company’s formation by a French cheese producer named Jean-Claude Guilloteau. Through a key encounter between Guilloteau and scientists for the French National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA), the creation of the special industrial process called ultrafiltration was developed and successfully patented in 1969. Guilloteau then went on to start his own company, Fromagerie Guilloteau in 1981 with a focus on producing an expanding line of topquality cheeses made exclusively with the ultrafiltration process.

FROMAGER D'AFFINOIS FR-542 Le Petit Fromager | 8x5.29oz | $29.99/CS FR-367 Truffles | 2x4.4lb | $109.99/CS FR-372 Garlic & Herb | 2x4.4lb | $79.99/CS FR-373 Plain | 2x4.41lb | $74.99/CS FR-515 Chévre (Florette) | 1x2.21lb | $10.99/LB FR-552 Brebis (Rocastin) | 1x2.2lb | $10.49/LB SAINT ANGEL FR-889 St. Angel Triple Creme Red Label | 2x1.7lb | $9.29/LB FR-954 Bucheron Goat Log Du Vivarois | 1x2lb | $19.99/CS

Ultrafiltration is a special industrial process in which milk is filtered through a sieve to partially eliminate small molecules such as water, lactose and mineral salts. The mineral salts that are maintained during this process make Fromager d’Affinois (and all Guilloteau cheeses) two to four times richer in calcium than a Brie or Camembert cheese. The Fromager d’Affinois line of cheeses offer silky, smooth, mouthcoating creaminess and a decadently rich, buttery taste. Made with pasteurized cows’ milk and available in a variety of flavors using only the freshest ingredients, there is a d’Affinois for everyone to adore. At just five inches square, Saint Angel is a cows’ milk triple cream cheese with incredibly smooth texture and big, buttery flavors that will not go unnoticed. For those craving an even creamier bite, Saint Angel cheeses are the perfect match. With delicate, white bloomy rinds and base flavors of sweet cream and mild mushrooms, each delights with every bite, and becomes even more rich and robust with age.

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. 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 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.
