We spent a few days in Upstate New York, on the Cayuga and Seneca wine trails. I was the designated driver, so I just took occasional tiny sips of some of the wines that others in our party enjoyed (but we still came home with a nice mixed case). But I could participate in the cheese tastings… I don’t know whether to say fortunately, or unfortunately. I think it’s fortunately, though!
Its New York, so those are mostly cheddars and cheddar blends, but two stand out: Moochego, which is Manchego made with cow’s milk instead of sheep’s milk; I’ve never seen that anywhere before. I bought some last year, and then found out that you can only get it in upstate New York, from Englebert Farms or one of the local shops. Also the Cranky Old Lady cheddar, which is aged 6 years and is filled with protein crystals that pop umami all over your tongue as you taste it!
Excuse me, I have to go move my teeth now….
