Litehouse www.simplyartisanreserve.com Center Cuts from Litehouse's Simply Artisan Reserve The depiction of a feisty bull on the label of Der scharfe Maxx of- fers an early indication of the unique, full-flavored profile of this raw milk, washed- rind cheese. Der scharfe Maxx from the Käserei Studer dairy in Switzerland is cellar aged more than five months, developing a full-bodied flavor with the traditional nutti- ness of an alpine-style cheese. The addition of cream during the cheesemaking process delivers a rich, creamy mouth feel that per- fectly complements the savory notes of sautéed onion and beef broth in the cheese. Der scharfe Maxx is complex enough to be the focal point of a well-curated cheese board, but is also excel- lent melted in grilled cheese or grated over soups or salads. Five master cheesemakers oversee cheese production at Käserei Studer, located in the Lake Constance region of Switzerland. Founded and main- tained as a multi-gener- ational family business since 1929, Käserei Studer uses raw milk from a mix of grass-fed Jersey, Brown Swiss and Holstein cows. Fifty dairy farmers from within a 10-mile ra- dius of the plant supply Käserei Studer. Der scharfe Maxx is imported by Emmi Roth.

It is cured with salt and aged more than 60 days in natural grottos on beech wood boards. It is white or slightly yellow in color with a smooth and even rind. Each wheel weighs in at ap- proximately six pounds. The sheep milk used to make this cheese is produced from Mediterranean sheep that origi- nate from ancient and traditional stock with no genetic alteration. These sheep live in the open air and graze on rich pasture that varies from season to season. The Roman countryside's pastures produce rich, diverse and tasty milk that makes these sheep much healthier. The pro- duction process uses both traditional tech- niques of centuries ago as well as mod- ern technology to make Savello cheese an important part of a nu- tritionally well balanced diet.

For this spreadable de- light, the creamery based its recipe on one from 1939, which brings out the diverse flavor of the milk. Three other great flavors are available, including Liptauer, a blend of fresh cream cheese with two types of paprika, garlic, sea salt capers, toasted caraway and a touch of anchovy paste; Fresh Goat Cheese, which features a startlingly fresh taste and a sensually creamy texture; and Pi- mento Cheese, fea- turing aged raw milk cheddar ground coarsely with slow roasted red pep- pers, Tellicherry black pepper, may- onnaise and just enough cayenne to make it dangerous. Zingerman's Creamery 734.929.0500 www.zingermanscreamery.com Traditional Cream Cheese from Ann Arbor Daydreams of sun-drenched beaches may have inspired this smoky, spicy, garlic and onion rub, but Sartori's sweet and creamy BellaVitano ® is an unmistakable Wis- consin original. This is a delightful cheese that is hand rubbed with a unique blend of chipotle pepper and spices. The flavors work well with the slightly fruity, creamy, tangy notes of the BellaVitano cheese and finish with a mild touch of chile pepper heat. Flavors permeate throughout the cheese, but are slight and not overpowering. The rind is meant to be eaten and part of the tasting experience! Intro- duced June 2016.
