We were a little inspired when a wheel of brie oozed out onto a plate, leaving a shell of a wheel, with lingering paste and creamline. So, we simply stuffed it full with cheese pairings! What would you add to these brie pockets?
Here at Cheese Grotto, we wanted to bring the beauty and functionality of the cheese caves our founder worked in as a cheesemaker and cheese monger to everyone who loves cheese. After years of testing, refining the design, and sharing it with top cheese specialists, the Cheese Grotto is now ready for your enjoyment.

Women have played a central role in dairying for most of human history, and dairying has been associated with feminine energy since ancient times. In the ancient Sumerian city of Uruk, the fertility goddess Inanna watched over agricultural storehouses and oversaw the cycle of the seasons.
This Women's History Month, we're featuring female cheese experts and cheesemakers as they discuss the history of women cheesemakers. Today, watch as Christine Clark: @YourCheeseFriend speaks about Redhead Creamery's Lucky Linda.
Hey Cheese Lover! Did you know that certain cheeses are made with ash? Which cheese is your favorite ash-ripened cheese?

Cheese History

84 Pins
Cheese is a year-round food, but some cheeses shine extra bright in the winter months. Maybe the season they’re made and their aging time means new wheels are ready to go just before the winter holidays. Others were developed to be made with the smaller quantities and richer quality of winter milk—and others are traditionally served hot, gooey, and melted. But all were made to be paired with wine.
Beer and cheese is the new wine and cheese! Pour yourself a mug and get pairing. Try pairing porters with a fruitier cheese, such a Comte with notes of tropical fruits and hazelnuts. What is your favorite beer and cheese pairing?
Beer is in, wine is out! We don't make the rules, we just enforce them. That's why we wrote this all-inclusive guide to pairing cheese with your favorite craft brews. Remember, when pairing beers, from Pilsners and Stouts to IPAs and Sours, make sure your cheese complements the flavors and aromas of the beer.

Who doesn't love an ooey-gooey grilled cheese on a crisp, fall afternoon? While cheddar cheese is our go-to, we love to explore all the specialty cheese community has to offer. That's why we wrote a guide on the best cheeses for grilled cheeses. Give them a try and let us know what you think. Want our suggestions for specialty cheeses you should check out for your grilled cheese? Read our latest blog post. #cheeselover #grilledcheese #cheeseporn #cheddarcheese #Lunchrecipes #fallrecipes
A tomme is any small, cylindrical aged raw milk cheese, typically with a rustic natural rind and fine, lacelike eyelets in the paste. While they originated in France, tommes can be made just about anywhere. The form is beloved by cheesemakers for its versatility and expression of the milk’s quality and terroir. Want our suggestions for specialty cheeses you should check out for your grilled cheese? Read our latest blog post.
Cheeses with hot peppers, fragrant herbs, or bits of bacon added to the curds or pressed into the rind often make great grilled cheese. In addition to the extra flavor, those mix-ins can offer some extra textural crunch or chew, too. Want our suggestions for specialty cheeses you should check out for your grilled cheese?

For an extra-special cheese board with some heirloom apples from a local orchard, garlicky dill pickles, and crunchy sourdough flatbread crackers, reach for a nutty, earthy clothbound cheddar like Redhead Creamery’s Lucky Linda or Jasper Hill’s iconic, award-winning Cabot Clothbound.
One of our favorite things about running the cheese subscription is how it lets us build ongoing relationships with cheese lovers like you. When you join, you become a member of a cheese community, not just a one-time customer.
Not every cheese develops a rind. The exterior surfaces of cheeses dipped in wax, like many Goudas and some aged cheddars, don’t come into contact with air thanks to that waxy coating, meaning that these microbes can’t develop. The wax on these wheels should be removed before eating.

This is our take on elotes, or Mexican Street Corn. The corn can be boiled or roasted and is served on a stick or with the husk as a handle. It’s a street food staple, and makes for an excellent vehicle for toppings. We recommend trying your hand at our homemade queso blanco recipe for an exceptional experience. Homemade cheese makes everything better.

Obviously, you don’t want to dig into a delicate chevre log with a knife covered in blue cheese residue, as you wouldn’t be able to enjoy the flavor of the chevre. So rather than washing or wiping down the same knife after each use, simply give each cheese its own knife.
