In an attempt to bring more creativity to my home cheese making, I have been experimenting with using flavored salts for finishing my cheeses.
I used the recipe for Petit Brie from the 3rd edition of Home Cheese Making by Ricki Carroll- Storey Publishing 2002 Truffle salt Curd ready for transfer to the molds Divide the curd equally between the molds Draining to let gravity express the whey After flipping several times leaving it overnight and returning in the morning One Brie is salted with Juniper Salt The other with Truffle Salt The Dynamic Duo Then into the cave for 6 weeks. Easy Peasey At six weeks they are perfect for Baked Brie with Crudites. Another 2 weeks for a table cheese. |

Exemplary composition. I have made home made goatĀ“s milk Ricotta, however, living in a cosmpolitan capital, in the city centre and globetrotting for my profession, it is nearly impossible. However, this is truly impressive.
Thank you for posting. |

I would love to duplicate some of the lovely fresh Portuguese cheeses that I enjoyed in my travels. One in particular became central to our lunch meal on a daily basis. I never did learn the name but believe that it sounded as though they were saying- Cash Cabre- I apologize for not knowing the proper name |

Percebes. Let me look, through my Portuguese Collection of Gastronomy Books on Cheese. I can surely provide the names. Cabre = goat in Portuguese. Cabra in Spanish. They are large producers of Goat Cheese. And though not well know throughout most of the Mediterranean, the goat cheeses I have had in Portugal have been sensational. Which part of Portugal were you in ? Have a nice weekend. |

We were based in a villa near Sintra and took day trips to Fatima, Porto, Evora and countless small towns in my quest for good food, wine and a Asador de Barro.
I felt most at home near the Douro |

Good evening.
There are 10 Portuguese appellations for goat cheese, by same name as the Designation of Origin : 1. Castelo Branco 2. Queijo de Cabra 3. Queijo Nisa 4. Queijo Transmontano 5. Queijo de Pico 6. Queijo Blanco 7. Serpa 8. Sao Jorge 9. Saloio 10. Requeijo To refer back to your coloquial expression, Cash in any language signifies money. Cabre just means Goat. So, it is definitely one of the above 10 and / or it can be a goat cheese that does NOT have an appellation and is boutique produced by a farmer or more than one farmer. I have had a cheese tasting at a Michelin Restaurant in Lisbon 2 years ago and these are all amazing and all have their nuances, as the turf varies, so does the grazing pastures on the hillsides or plains or close to the sea change the goatsĀ“ herb consumption. Have a nice evening. 1am here. |

"cash cabre" - perhaps it was a way to say, "goat cheese" in a local dialect? "queso" is Spanish for "cheese," so there is a resemblence.
But, I am not expert, so take it with a grain of salt! Speaking of which, how is the brie doing?

My 22 year old son is always getting into my wines, cheese and cured meats.
I will have to ask him how he enjoyed it. |

I am a wine enthusiast. The more wine I drink, the more enthusiastic I become.

Your 22-year-old son has one heck of a lot in common with my 22-year-old son. Some of my best projects have disappeared by his hand....

It is about to get a whole lot worse. He is moving to Victoria BC. in January and I suspect that my cellars will take an additional hit as he
packs his trunk. I will start fresh in Feb. |

This, my friends, is why God arranged it so that we love them. Otherwise we'd strangle them in their cradles for sure!
