National Cheese Day
National Cheese Day is June 4th . Celebrate one of the most favorite foods of mankind by indulging in some of these amazing products.
June 4th is the single most important food holiday of the year: National Cheese Day! The origins of National Cheese Day are unknown, but some speculate that a shepherd discovered Roquefort cheese on June 4, 1070. Legend has it that the shepherd left bread and cheese in a cave and forgot about it. Upon returning a few months later, he discovered that the cheese had become moldy. He decided to try it and realized how much more flavorful and delicious it had become, and thus Roquefort was born. There are endless ways to enjoy cheese on this holiday: fondue, melted in a sandwich, eaten alongside cured meats on a charcuterie board or simply on its own. There’s no shortage of different types of cheeses to devour on June 4th, but here are a few definitely worthy of celebration!

CHARMING
CHARCUTERIE Charcuterie boards are not only aesthetically pleasing, but the vast combination of flavors is pleasing to the taste buds. Charcuterie boards contain a smorgasbord of different flavors-- meats such as salami, ham, prosciutto and chorizo, cheeses, and other snacks ranging from fresh or dried fruit to sliced French baguette. Charcuterie boards are perfect for a night-in with friends or family paired with wine and cocktails. Charcuterie has roots in France dating back to 6,000 years ago, based on the necessity to preserve meats to last through the winter months through smoking and salting. It began to rise in popularity during the Middle Ages when food became enjoyed instead of just a means to survive. Charcuterie has evolved into a presentation for delicious cured meats paired with cheeses and other bite-sized delicacies. The beauty of charcuterie boards is that they are easy to prepare and completely customizable to satisfy whatever you are craving! To prepare the perfect charcuterie board, combine your favorite cheeses with meats such as prosciutto, salami, or ham as well as bread or crackers. Fruits, olives, and nuts add color and texture to the spread. Take time to experiment with different combinations of meat and cheeses to find the perfect charcuterie board to satisfy your needs!

SAVORY SALUMI Bellentani's italian style salumi These salumi are made by a century old method in the Pocono Mountain area. Bellentani’s attention to their raw ingredients and process is exquisite and because of their location they can replicate and enhance the traditional Italian processes. Salami actually predates ancient Roman times; it was the ideal way for these ancient people to save meat and make it last when times were tough. The Italian terrain, studded with mountains that had cool, dry, high-altitude climates, served as the perfect long-term storage space. The salami could dry out for extended periods of time without rotting. Bellentani Salumi are made in a near-identical climate in the Pocono Mountains in New York, so there is no need for them to artificially create the aging conditions. Beyond that they believe in making a real product, one that is handmade with high quality ingredients and no artificial additives or coloring. All of the salumi are made with locally sourced pork. It is made with a combination of pork meat and fat (only the highest quality fat) that is then minced and mixed in to meat mixture. The pork fat shows up in the final salami as the white pieces dotted throughout. Having the correct meat to fat ratio is crucial in making a good salami, but all of Bellentani salumi are leanerand better for you. At that point, spices and seasonings are added based on the desired final product. Each Bellentani salumi is mixed with spices and stuffed in to casing. At the end of the process they are delicately hand-rolled in spices.

Bayonne Ham is produced in the Ardour basin in the heart of French Basque Country. This exceptional air-dried ham draws its unique qualities from these roots, while its flavor and character have been assured by the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) since October 7, 1998. Since this date, the Bayonne Ham denomination has been protected by the European Union under the PGI label, a gauge of quality and respect for its geographic origins. Consumers know they can rely on this guarantee, which they have come to value. Today, air-dried ham bearing the Bayonne Ham appellation is among the most widely known. More importantly, it is the ham consumers remain loyal to. Although Bayonne Ham is strictly a product from the Southwest of France in terms of production, it is also an authentic JUNE 2020 | 32
reflection of its terroir in the image of the Ardour River basin with its richly varied landscapes and climates between the Pyrenees and the Atlantic. In summer, the hams are placed in special drying rooms where the long aging process begins. The muscular parts of the ham are carefully covered with a mixture of pork fat and flour, a key procedure called "pannage" (coating). This allows the meat to dry ever so slowly over the course of the long aging process. The final steps of gradual aging comes in autumn, when the ham takes on all its unique qualities and character: its sweet flavor, balanced saltiness and delicate aroma.

SIZZLIN' SOLERA
Authentic products are something extremely important to Solera across the board. With Solera Chorizo, they wanted to craft a product that was cleaner, more natural and healthier than other Spanish Chorizos on the market. These are allnatural, antibiotic free that have 17% less salt and 16% more protein than others, with a robust flavor that can’t be beat. Solera Chorizo Rings are made with natural casings, meaning pig intestines, which is the traditional way. The final sausage ends up slightly uneven because, like anything in an artificial casing, it cannot be molded into a precise and exact shape. Instead the artisan crafters have general standards for the diameter, but the amount of meat added and the stretching to the casing is not uniform. There is an art to making sausage with natural casing, one that can’t be replicated by a machine. Chorizo is a mixture of pork, pork fat, garlic and smoked paprika (DOP Pimenton de la Vera to be exact). It is cured like salami and can be eaten without any further treatment. They are great for crumbling into paella, rice dishes, salads, wraps and scrambled eggs. Slice them and put in sandwiches. If you do want to cook them, make sure to just sear quickly on the outside. You don’t want to cook off the interior fat globules, which are a sign of quality and pack a punch of flavor. Imported from Spain, Solera Sliced Serrano Ham is an all natural, boneless, dry-cured ham similar to a Prosciutto di Parma with no added nitrates. Carefully aged for 14 months in the cool, clean mountain air of lower Pyreness, creates a Serrano Ham that has a silky texture and a rich full mouthfeel with complex and fruity flavor. Jamón Serrano literally means “ham from the mountains” and is one of the most traditional Spanish preparations. They take the whole leg and bury it in coarse sea salt for ten days. Solera Serrano is Consorzio approved. Create the perfect tapas by combining Serrano ham with cheese, bread and olives.

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.
