We have cheese plates at 5pm brought to everyone's desk at Mahalo. our
director of technology does the selections and pairings..... we're
thinking of adding one ounce of wine. :-) .... you know, because I'm such a horrible boss I have to bribe people
with fine cheeses. :-p ---------- Forwarded message ----------

We'll be having a small sampling of two very fine cheeses, spanning
the atlantic today. The quoted descriptions are provided wonderfully
to us by Andrew's Cheese Shop. The softer, whiter cheese on the plate is a goat's milk cheese named
Leonora, produced in Spain.
"Named after the region of Leon, Spain, this rustic goat's mulk cheese
has a beautiful natural, rustic rind and a pure white interior. The
Spanish goat cheeses like this one tend to be much grassier and earthy
than most others. The aroma is of mushrooms and truffle and the taste
is of grass and tart lemons. "

The harder, slightly yellowed cheese is the Cabot Clothbound Cheddar,
produced in Bracco and Jeffrey's neighbor state of Vermont.
"Cabot is very much a cooperative creamery. It is a union of 330
family farmers in Vermont that has existed since 1919. The
quintessentially American product won the 2005 World Cheese Award for
"Best Cheddar in the WOrld." Then in 2006 they won Best in Show at the
American Cheese Championship. Taste this and tell me there are no
great American cheeses, I dare you."

Great American cheese, indeed! Thanks for the Cabot mention.
