Home of the Grilled Cheese Sandwich
There is no doubt in my mind that Cabot knows how to promote their cheeses. Not only do they send new, free cheese on a regular basis, which is awesome in of itself, they also send little extras that make their package even more amazing. …
Longer ago than I would like to admit, I was at my local Whole Foods shopping, when I stumbled upon the Tepin Chile. I love chiles and heat, as much as my body can take, but I had never heard of a Tepin Chile. Normally, …
I must start this post with sincerest apologies to Cabot. I don’t even know when at this point, but Cabot sent me a pack of cheese, including their Everything Bagel Cheddar. Ever since, I had wanted to make an Everything Bagel Grilled Cheese. I was intrigued. I was seriously intrigued.
Then, time got away from me, inspiration was lost and the cheese sat in the refrigerator. Lonely. And waiting to be eaten.
Until now.
On a weird night at the house, and after taking the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, I decided to make my version of the Everything Bagel Grilled Cheese. And succeed did I. Continue reading Everything Bagel Grilled Cheese
Recently, I received an email from Whole Foods PR department with the subject of “A cheese worthy of a prince – Royal Addition One-Year-Old Cheddar at Whole Foods Market”. As usual, I just thought it was spam/a come on and nothing really worth reading. Out …
When you visit a creamery, regardless of whether they milk their own animals or not, the last thing you think you will come into contact with is an old-time office building in the heart of an urban city. However, that is exactly where Lake Erie …

As I have previously mentioned, the amount and quality of local, Ohio cheeses has increased exponentially. It is simply amazing how delicious the choices are, providing every variety you could ever desire. With that being said, I was disappointed when I went searching for local Ohio cheeses in [Cleveland] Ohio and was striking out at each turn. I looked at local grocery stores, national grocery stores, local cheese shops, local wine shops and so much more. Nothing. I even employed the help of the sous chef. Thankfully, we hit the jackpot at a local bakery, Luna Bakery & Cafe. That is where I found Mayfield Road Creamery Siberian Night and this particular cheese, Lake Erie Creamery Croquis.
Onto the show cheese…
For some reason, I was very intrigued by this cheese. Maybe it was because I know so little about “Croquis” or maybe it is because I have never tried Lake Erie Creamery cheese. Either way, I was very happy I was able to find and try Lake Erie Creamery. Continue reading Local Lunch: Lake Erie Creamery Croquis

Hopefully you enjoyed the Series, Free Lunch, in which I highlighted cheeses I received from both Kerrygold (Blarney Castle & Dubliner) and Cabot (Chipotle & Private Stock Cheddar). I thoroughly enjoyed researching the various cheeses and of course tasting them. Each cheese had its own …

Cheese, in my opinion, is one of the most amazing ingredients in the world. Each and every time I try a new cheese or return back to an old favorite, it is like I am returning home. It is one of the best feelings, I, as a person, experience on a somewhat regular basis. And yet, I have only started to skim the surface of all the cheeses available. I am, by all accounts still a novice but I am enjoying every minute of the ride. This blog is only helping to increase my knowledge and hopefully educate you as well.
Yes, this is the final part of the Free Lunch series, but after a short break, I will be back with a new series, Local Lunch, highlighting three local, Ohio cheeses. I hope you join me for that. Long live the cheese…
The flavor of cheese can change greatly with the slightest change to a recipe or aged for an extra month or two. One Cheddar can taste so absolutely different from another for the smallest reasons. I am no cheesemaker or chemist or anything like that just yet, so I don’t know the exact details but it all most definitely intrigues me.
There is something special about cheese. I hope you agree as well. Continue reading Free Lunch: Cabot Private Stock Cheddar
