Cheeses

For a very long time, my favorite cheese was of the American variety. It was what I grew up with -- and to be honest -- perfect for grilled cheese sandwiches. Then, as a snack on my first inter-continental flight, I got to try a bit of Camembert, and the rest is history. So, follow along with me fellow cheese-lovers! I am not the most eloquent food writer, but I promise not to shy away from the moldy or the stinky and to share everything I learn along the way.

#33 - Vermont Creamery - Bijou

April 20, 2017/ Alison McMurtrie

How cute are these?! For some reason these photos make them look huge, but they are actually quite small - 2oz each. And full disclosure, I stopped at a random brick post on my walk home to take the first photo! Figured it couldn't hurt to vary my backdrops a bit :)

Not only does the Vermont Creamery Bijou have a great name -- this cheese was a real delight to eat. Had some at home after work with Kev with some leftover baguette. Super simple but very tasty and satisfying. The stiff inside of this cheese had that classic goat cheese tanginess, but for whatever reason it also had a very fresh aspect to it as well. Maybe it's just that spring air we've been getting in DC!

Rating: MMM (Maybe this will get old, but I sort of doubt it.)

Ali McMurtrie - This website is my attempt to "get the art out of my head." I started this blog a few years ago when I turned twenty-five, and it began as a place for me to post about cheese, pottery and other things I thought were interesting over the course of that year. Now, even though my "Year Twenty-Five" has is behind me, I keep this site as a way of collecting things I feel inspired by and/or would like to eat.
