Cantalet
French cow
We got this new-to-us cheese at Brookville. There were Cherry Blossom fireworks on the waterfront, so we took the cheese up to the rooftop & we had a cheese tasting there. The cheese was good Cantalet ((kahn-TAHL-ay), French Cheddar). Supposedly it pairs wonderfully with reds from Merlot to Pinot Noir and whites from Sauvignon Blanc to Gewurztraminer — but we had Troegs Hop Back amber ale from Harrisburg PA.
We bought at Brookville again 7/17/10. Still like the earthy taste of this cow cheese — and great to have it in the neighborhood. We had some at breakfast; some at dinner for dessert. You don’t need much – very rich. No bread required – just right in our hand. Also called Cantal.
