Take thee to Artisanal Cheese either in person or online and order some of the Beromunster Schafskase, don't try to pronounce it, just point to it. It is the only place you will find this deliciously decadently nutty cheese in New York. Hailing from Canton Lucerne, Switzerland it is crafted with the milk of Laucane sheep, the most fabulous and richest sheep's milk out there. What makes this different from other Swiss cheeses I'm sure you're wondering? Well that my friends is because it is the perfect melding of traditional milky creamy-ness of firm French Pyrenees style cheeses like Ossau Vielle and the nutty butterscotchy-ness of those hole-y Swiss cheeses we all know and love, it bridges a cultural gap in cheese form. Doesn't that sound appealing to you? Sure does to me!
Sweet, creamy, indulgent with a grassy herbaceous side to it, it is designed to delight. This sure isn't the Honda of Swiss cheese, its the Maybach. Clocking in at $45 a pound, this sure is a splurge but worth it for a special occasion. Enjoy with a nice crisp white.
