Say Cheese!
This delicious selection of French cheeses paired with fresh dill and roasted Italian hazelnuts was enjoyed at the “Eat Cheese Class” on September 11. Julia Child’s favorite cheesemonger led 20 lucky participants through the origins and cheese-making technique of six different cheeses.
“These cheeses are heavenly,” said Danielle Ohman, president of the Holliston Newcomers Club that sponsored the event. “I didn’t know cheese could taste so amazing.”
It was a sentiment echoed by all the participants at “Eat Cheese.” The cheeses brought by Formaggio Kitchen in Cambridge were hand-selected at the peak of their flavor profile. Formaggio Kitchen was the first in the U.S. to build an Alpine-style cave in which to age cheeses. Hence explaining how each cheese is bursting with aromas and flavors.
The Holliston Newcomers Club will be bringing more tasty treats to town this fall at the 38th annual Craft Fair. Among the handmade foods will be jams and jellies from Treasure by the Sea. Jean and Joe Longo of Falmouth, MA handpick wild fruits on Cape Cod and from their gardens. Each batch of their jam, jelly or chutney is made one batch at a time and never diluted to ensure the purest natural flavor. Jean uses old English recipes passed down in her family for four generations. Come out on the Sunday before Thanksgiving to get some of these ‘treasures by the sea’!
Some handmade crafts in this November’s Craft Fair look good enough to eat! Jennifer’s Handmade Soap comes in delectable truffle and cupcake varieties. Her ‘flavors’ range from blueberry pie to mocha! All these clean treats will be on sale Sunday, November 23 at the Holliston High School.
