Cheese of the month
Cantal: One of the oldest French cheeses,
Cantal was originally produced by putting the curd into le formage,
the wooden cylinder that is believed to be the origin of the French
word for cheese - fromage. When young, the cheese is moist, open textured & springy
with a slight tang on the palate. Cantal Entre Deux is released between
2 and 6 months of affinage. At this stage the cheese is dense, moist
and buttery and the flavour is enhanced by the addition of salt during
curing of the curd. As it matures the cheese is also prone to blueing,
which further intensifies the strong flavours. It is related to the
French Laguiole and Salers and also has a similarity to the clothbound
English cheddars. With age this cheese is fantastic.
Ras el Hanout: What on earth do you do with
that?
Contains:
Paprika, Cumin, Ginger, Coriander Seed, Cassia, Turmeric, Fennel Seed,
Allspice, Cardamon Green, Dill Seed, Galangal, Nutmeg, Orris Root,
Bay Leaves, Caraway Seeds, Cayenne, Cloves, Mace, Black Pepper, Brown
Cardamon, Whole Kashimiri Saffron Stigma
Description & Use: Ras el Hanout is a classic blend used in Moroccan
cooking. The name means ‘top of the shop’ or the very best
spice blend that a spice merchant (Souk) has to offer. When Herbie
developed this Ras el Hanout, he researched many traditional recipes
and then came up with his own interpretation. Herbie did leave out
the Spanish Fly and the Hashish, however the Herbie's Spices Ras el
Hanout is an incredibly beautifully balanced example of this versatile
Moroccan spice. To make a spiced cous cous, just add ½ a teaspoon
of Ras el Hanout per cup, the spices will make it wonderfully fragrant
and the Saffron will give a golden colour. Sprinkle onto chicken and
fish before cooking. Use in tagines of chicken and lamb.
We got this information from the Herbies
website.
