A Cheese Tasting at Serious Pie/ by Shelley Lance, Blog Editor
Yesterday afternoon at Serious Pie, Tom Kooiman (in photos above) of Provvista showed up with a selection of Italian and Oregon cheeses which all of our staff and customers were invited to taste. Provvista is one of the purveyors that Serious Pie Chef, Gray Brooks, uses to source those luscious cheeses he uses on pizzas or in appetizers.
The cheeses presented at the tasting were:
Rossini Blue from Italy- a blue veined cheese from Lombardy
Caveman Blue from Oregon- a cow’s milk blue cheese- beautifully balanced
Quadrello di Buffula from Italy- a soft, creamy, ivory colored cheese made from buffalo milk. This one was a big favorite!
Ubriaco Venato from Italy- a semi firm wine washed cow’s milk cheese
Adelle- from Scio, Oregon- a soft oozy cheese with a texture like eggs and butter- Tom K. said it was extra rich because the sheep’s milk is so rich this time of year.
An educational and delicious tasting for all the customers (like Bruce and Dana to the left) and staff who gave it a try! Keep your eyes peeled for more tastings at the Pie!
