BADASS blues B
lue cheese is the name given to cheeses that contain cultures of one or two types of blue mold: Penicillium roqueforti or Penicillium glaucum. These molds thrive in low oxygen environments and feed on milk proteins. Blue cheese is aged in temperature controlled environments, usually in caves. In order to get the veining that is characteristic of blue cheese, the cheese is needled purposefully by cheesemakers, so that the molds can spread into these crevices. Other types of blue cheeses are compacted in a way to leave air holes that allows the mold to travel inside. It is thought that blue cheese was invented by accident, when a cheese maker had a little too much to drink and accidentally left a loaf of bread in a moist, dark cave. He returned a few weeks later to find that the mold had covered his bread, and the surrounding cheese. He decided to taste the moldy cheese and discovered a delicious dairy delicacy!
There are three common types of blue cheese: Stilton, Gorgonzola, and Roquefort. Roquefort is a sheep's milk cheese known for its sharp, tangy flavor and creamy texture and is one of the oldest known cheeses. Gorgonzola is a cow's milk blue cheese produced in Northern Italy that has a robust and aromatic "funky" flavor. The first step to making blue cheese is to heat the milk then add starter culture. The starter culture causes the milk to separate into curds and whey. Then, mold spores are added-either Penicillium roqueforti or Penicillium glaucum--along with rennet. Once curds form, the cheese is pressed into the desired shape, salted, then left to dry. As it dries, the cheesemaker needles the cheese to allow the mold to travel into the cavities and create the signature veining. The cheese is left to age for the desired amount of time, on average about 2 months. The longer a blue cheese is aged, the more pungent the flavor. Blue cheeses are extremely versatile. They are great paired with a stout beer or a sweet and fruity wine. They make a handsome addition to a cheeseboard paired with dried or fresh fruit and add a flavorful punch when crumbled on a salad. There are so many different varieties of blue cheese for every taste, whether you like it light or funky. This feature is full of blue cheeses that are bound to become favorites.

FROMAGERIE
Guilloteau
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 top-quality cheeses made exclusively with the ultrafiltration process. 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. Because it retains the milk’s soluble proteins, ultrafiltration significantly increases the yield that can be used for cheese, as well as allows every step of the cheesemaking process to be quicker. Eliminated when traditional techniques are used, mineral salts are also retained in ultrafiltration, making the Fromager d’Affinois (and all Guilloteau cheeses) two to four times richer in calcium than a Brie or Camembert cheese.
Fromagerie Guilloteau currently produces a range of cheeses under the brands Fromager d'Affinois, Pavé d’Affinois, and St. Angel. The fresh milk used from local French farms is never more than 24 to 72 hours old, adding even more value (and flavor!) to the many advantages that come from ultrafiltration. Their even, creamy textures, delicate unique tastes, and very fine rinds must be tasted to be truly valued.

They’re pretty spoiled in Wisconsin. No other place in the country has the same access to such exceptionally produced dairy. And it all starts with their dedicated dairy farm families. They're committed to treating their cows and land with the utmost care and respect because quality care yields quality products. And quality products create happy dairy lovers. It’s just one of the ways They’ve earned the name America’s Dairyland. Wisconsin is one of those places that does one thing better than anyone else anywhere. They've been making cheese in Wisconsin for over 175 years, which may be one reason we win so many awards for it. It's what happens when a whole state dreams in cheese.
"In Wisconsin, we treat our cows with kindness and respect. After all, without their hard work we wouldn't have a livelihood. Wisconsin farmers strive to offer the most comfortable, clean bedding and living conditions possible. Dairy cows have access to feed, as well as fresh, clean water 24 hours a day. Regardless of the type of barn, dairy farmers focus on proper ventilation and protection from the elements." NOVEMBER 2020 | 35

To bring a little bit of his homeland to this beautiful new countryside he loved, Bolognesi began making authentic Parmesan cheese on a small farm on Lake Nebagamon in northern Wisconsin in 1923, hiring a master cheesemaker from Italy. The cheese was packaged under the Red Star label, a symbol that would stand for quality, and the Stella® brand was born. The cheese caught the fancy of the locals, and over the years, continued to grow in popularity. US-012 Black Wax Half | 1x9lb | $4.69/LB This traditional Italian favorite was originally developed in its namesake: the village of “Asiago” in northern Italy.

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.
