  • It's just cheese

    Had a customer come up to me and ask "Is there any alcohol in this cheese?"

      I have it on good authority that Vilhon Blanc is delicious. Never tasted it, though. Ditto for Turmish Brick.

        There actually are a lot of cheeses made with beer, wine, or even whisky in them. There's an Irish Cheddar with porter that's really good.

          Exactly; it's possible that the customer has an allergy or sensitivity to alcohol, or doesn't want it for religious or personal reasons (some recovering alcoholics won't eat foods with alcohol because of the taste or because they're on antabuse, a drug that makes them physically ill if they ingest ANY amount of alcohol).

            If I ask that question it will be because I want it to have alcohol in it. And now that I know it comes that way, I might have to start asking. It will go well with the alcohol filled chocolates.

              I would think it would be listed on the ingredients label.

              That does sound tasty, what brand is it? I thought it might be Kerrygold, but I didn't see it listed on their webpage. (I did see this one listed, and I might give that a try!)

                I had some Sartori Merlot Bellavitano a few weeks ago and it's amazing. It tastes like and has the texture of parmesan, and the rind has a merlot flavor, which I surprisingly liked even though I don't like merlot on its own.

                  It's really good. It's Cahill's. I usually see it at Whole Foods or Trader Joe.

                  Kerrygold also makes one with Irish whisky that's pretty good.

                    They make cheese with wine!? I picked a bad week to start the dairy-free thing.

                      Sure. Much more efficient -- albeit probably less fun -- than pairing up a nice cheese with the proper wine and taking them out on a picnic or something
