24 The Cheese Guide FEATURED PRODUCTS A S P E C I A L A D V E R T I S I N G S E C T I O N The Widmer family has been handcrafting Cheddar since 1922. In recent years the family has aged these cheddars longer to satisfy the palate of the cheese-lover who appreciates the distinctive flavor of an artisan style cheese. Original family recipes and select cultures (with no shortcuts) give these Cheddars a more sophisticated and complex flavor profile. Widmer's super aged Cheddars have an intense flavor with hints of caramel and are known for being very smooth without the bitter- ness associated with some aged cheddars. Also available with added red and green jalapeños. Widmer's Cheese Cellars have won 22 various awards on the c o m p a n y 's C h e d d a r over the last 14 years. Widmer's Aged Ched- dar pairs well with a sweet berry- driven Mer- lot or Pinot Noir. A beer that stands up well to aged Ched- dar is a stout beer with with rich cocoa flavors. Widmer's Cheddar Cheese is available in (2-5#), (10-1#) or (20- 8-ounce).

Two years in recipe develop- ment by Just Jan's Founder Jan Hogrewe, this spread is the ulti- mate complement to cheeses, burgers or vegetables. It has the complexity that hap- pens when onions are cooked long and slow, but it still retains some of the crunch. This way, the Balsamic Onion Savory Spread works cold as an onion rel- ish to serve on the cheese tray or atop a burger, or it can cook a bit more if it's added to a recipe. Just Jan's 818.282.6236 www.justjans.com A Cheese's Best Friend from Just Jan's Emmi Roth has expanded its highly sought-after Kaltbach™ line to include Emmi Kaltbach Le Crémeux, a new im- ported cheese from Switzerland. Made in 9-pound wheels, Kaltbach Le Crémeux is a washed-rind cheese that's crafted with pasteurized milk and microbial rennet and aged a mini- mum of 120 days in the Kaltbach Cave in the Alpine Valley near Lucerne, Switzerland. The tem- perature and humidity of the Kaltbach Cave is naturally regu- lated, creating an ideal environ- ment for aging cheese and making the Kaltbach cheeses unlike any other in the world. Le Crémeux has a unique fla- vor profile that is sweet and unassuming at first, but devel- ops into a more com- plex flavor with brothy notes. Extra cream added during the cheesemaking process gives this aged cheese an extra-creamy tex- ture. The entire Kaltbach line of cheeses, includ- ing Emmi Kaltbach Le Crémeux, Kaltbach Le Gruyère ® AOP, and Kaltbach Emmentaler ® AOP, is available at retailers and specialty cheese shops nation- wide.

This is a de- lightful 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 BellaV- itano cheese and finish with a mild touch of chile pepper heat. Fla- vors permeate throughout the cheese, but are slight and not overpowering. The rind is meant to be eaten and part of the tasting experience!
