Tonight was pretty warm and I had a strong craving for a chunk of my cooling Minuet that has been calling me since the day I picked it up. Minuet is one of many amazing cheeses from Andante. Its a goat milk based triple cream; it's also a slice of pure heaven. Andante Dairy cheese is an art form and once you try one, you will be humming the same tune.
Soyoung Scanlan is the cheesemaker and she names all her cheeses after musical terms for example: Minuet, Acapella, Figaro and the list goes on. She did this to represent her love and personified image of cheese with music-her other passion. What a woman.
Getting back to my story. I drove to Henry's on the way home from work and picked up a few necessary items for my cheese feast: bosc pears, organic figs and fresh baguette, amen. I couldn't get through the check out line fast enough!
The Minuet has been sitting in my chiller for a good week now and it's become more lively with each passing day. I sliced some crusty bread, grabbed the honey jar and moved with a quickness that I've only seen during Black Friday sales. Who is this mad woman?
Waiting for my Minuet to get to room temperature was challenging but I managed and boy was it worth it! After a bite I was light headed and appreciated the menial minutes of agitation that I had to endure to make sure my cheese was perfect for eating.
Pure deliciousness...worth every minuet.
