Cheese Wisdom: Spreadable, rich cheese
Blend of three different milks to yield a rich creamy delight
THE CHEESE: La Tur Three Milk Cheese from Bosia, Piedmont, Italy
AVAILABLE AT: Whole Foods, $28.99/lb. (one small container is about 1/2 lb.)
THE STYLE: A blend of cow, goat and sheep milks. Very spreadable, creamy, rich, like triple cream brie
FLAVOR PROFILE: This cheese has a bit of funk on the nose, but is very fresh tasting, pudding consistency, and grassy.
HOW TO ENJOY: Spread on Granny Smith Apples, top with a delicate honey and spread on hearty crackers, in the center of a simple lettuce salad.
WING PAIRINGS: Prosecco, Alsatian Pinot Gris, French Chablis, Beaujolais.
EXTRA READING: The rind is very soft and should be eaten with the center. This cheese is molded then placed in little boxes to age a bit. You will purchase it in the box, which keeps it from spreading as it ages and forms a disc.
