    Comments Off on Biery Cheese – New Cheese On the Block
    Biery Cheese has been making a great number of cheeses since the late 1920’s, right here in Louisville, Ohio, but now they’re making their Jungle Jim’s debut, offering quite a few new products at The Cheese Shop. 

    Not only did we bring in a new selection of bars including Cheddar, NY Cheddar, hot pepper, Colby, and Swiss, we now have a new and varied selection of shredded and sliced cheese to go along with them!

  • Tulip Tree Trillium – Inspiration from Across the Sea

    Comments Off on Tulip Tree Trillium – Inspiration from Across the Sea
    For us, this is the best French inspired cheese this side of the Atlantic. Made by the Tulip Tree Creamery out of Indianapolis, this creamy, soft ripened cheese would turn even the biggest Francophile into a fan. The cheese, when ripe, is one of the creamiest made in the States. 

    Having only arrived on the scene a few years ago, in 2014, it rivals some of the better soft ripened cheese makers out there.

  • Lemon Baked Ricotta – Sweet, Delicate, Delicious

    Comments Off on Lemon Baked Ricotta – Sweet, Delicate, Delicious
    ​The perfect summer dessert? Maybe, just maybe, it is…

    The cake like consistency makes it the perfect after dinner snack, and the lemon flavor absolutely tastes like summer. It comes from the Puglia region of Italy, and is special because of the buffalo milk whey that’s used to produce it. It gives it the richest and most savory taste imaginable. 

    I like to serve this treat a couple of different ways.

  • Pittig 4 Year Gouda – This Cheese Is SO Gouda!

    Comments Off on Pittig 4 Year Gouda – This Cheese Is SO Gouda!
    ​This Dutch Gouda is one of the more unique that we carry. At 4 years old, the flavor profile is genuinely surprising, and nothing like what you think it would be. With a caramel colored appearance, it has a creamy, robust flavor with hints of butterscotch, a bit of sweetness, and just enough bite to remind you that it has been aging for at least 4 years. 

    This cheese contains little crystal pockets within that are common in aged cheeses,

  • Cutting The Big Cheese Jungle Jim’s Eastgate 2017

    Comments Off on Cutting The Big Cheese Jungle Jim’s Eastgate 2017
    ​Every 18 months, something awesome happens. The Big Cheese comes down, is taken apart, and goes home in the carts of quite a few lucky customers. Not too long ago, The Big Cheese at the Eastgate Cheese Shop came down and this time, we managed to catch some footage of the process. Thanks to everyone who waited patiently as we dealt with some technical difficulties. We think the wait was worth it, though. Until next time! Read article

  • Alef Salami – Holding Onto Tradition

    Comments Off on Alef Salami – Holding Onto Tradition
    Founded in Chicago in 2000, the Alef Salami Company has become one of the top producers of high quality eastern European style salami’s in the states. Focusing on Russian and Ukrainian, recipes they hold as close to tradition as possible. 

    Alec Mikhaylov immigrated to the states in 1992 and started the company out of his home kitchen. They focused on Russian delis for the first few years they were open, but as word spread about the quality of the product they expanded distribution to a much wider variety of different places.

  • Carr Valley Wildfire Blue – Turn Up The Heat With This Funky Blue Cheese

    Comments Off on Carr Valley Wildfire Blue – Turn Up The Heat With This Funky Blue Cheese
    ​A blue cheese with a spicy kick, the blue itself is mild and mellow, but not boring. The peperoncini rossi pepper adds just the right amount of heat as to not overpower the cheese, making this is one of the better blues to throw on a burger – basically, it offers the ultimate creaminess at melting point. 
     
    Carr Valley is one of the oldest, largest producers of cheese in the states, but they do it at the highest quality level considering the amount of cheese being produced. Read article

  • Argentine Reggianito – A “Little” Parmesan That Goes a Long Way

    Comments Off on Argentine Reggianito – A “Little” Parmesan That Goes a Long Way

    Argentine Reggianito is a cow’s milk parmesan made in Argentina, and is modeled after the world famous Parmigiano Reggiano. In fact, Reggianito means “little Reggiano.” This is great alternative to Parmigiano Reggiano if you’re looking to save a few dollars but not lose any of the quality of true Parmigiano Reggiano. It is firmer and a bit saltier than its Italian predecessor, but grates well and adds to any dish just as well. 

    Produced by an operation started by Italian immigrants that moved to Argentina after World War One,

    Comments Off on Take a Trip From the Comfort of Your Kitchen with Odyssey Feta
    New to the Jungle, Odyssey Feta is the finest quality Feta made from the purest cow’s milk out of Wisconsin. The Klondike Cheese Company that produces this Feta has been making cheese in the same location since the late 1880’s. With a variety of flavors made in both crumbles and blocks, we think there’s something here for everyone. 

    Along with their fat free and reduced fat selections, they also have Peppercorn, Sweet Heat,

  • Smoking Goose Jowl Bacon – Simple, Savory and Delicious

    Comments Off on Smoking Goose Jowl Bacon – Simple, Savory and Delicious
    This is not your everyday, run of the mill bacon. 

    What is “Jowl” Bacon, then? The jowl of a pig is the muscle covering the cheek area. Smoking Goose seasons it simply with black pepper and coriander, brown sugar and maple syrup, which is used as the cure. Often used a seasoning in many dishes, jowl back is popular in the southern US, where it’s a common ingredient in many soul food dishes.
