A couple weeks ago I hosted a brunch at my new place and was pleasantly surprised by a house warming gift from a friend, who knows me all too well. Her gift to me- a tote with cheese, pickles and a bottle of Malbec-what a doll. No Woman is a Beecher cheese which I had read about on a few blogs and even remember seeing on the ACS website. At first bite: Beecher's No Woman = the roasted beef of cheese.
Beecher's has an amazing story, as I can never hold back from searching a little on a good cheese, I loved everything about them. Nestled away in Seattle, WA at the wondrous Pike's Place there couldn't be a better home then the mecca of fresh produce and farmstead goods. They have a strong credo about their quality and are adamant about staying all natural and use traditional cheese making skills; works for me! No Woman was a 2nd place winner at ACS in 2009 and it's no wonder, this is a big cheese. Due to the notable Jamaican jerk seasoning's it's tagged with the catchy name, No Woman.
The aroma is roast beef, freshly cut from the deli. This would be a great party cheese, it fits a pretty open palate. The pairing I chose...pickles!
