I used to not believe in the existence of healthy snacks because “healthy” and “snacks” are complete opposites. Otherwise my mom would let me eat more snacks. Snacking in my family is like committing a crime because the older generation’s understanding of snacks is chips and cookies. Well, they are not completely wrong but there […]
The last cheese in my brief tour of Spanish cheeses, Murcia al Vino, is a pasteurized goat’s milk cheese. It is actually a pretty unique cheese, in that: although it is technically a washed rind cheese, its rind is formed with red wine instead of mold cultures; and, it is made with high quality goat’s […]
Continuing my tour of Spanish cheeses; this cheese is not quite as popular in the United States, but it is one of the more well known Spanish cheeses throughout Europe.
This is very exciting, we are about to go on a tour of Spanish cheeses. I managed to get ahold of some Manchego, Iberico and some Murcia al Vino. Today, I am going to talk about one of Spain’s most popular cheeses, a hard sheep’s milk cheese called Manchego.

Burrata is a unique, fresh Italian cheese, made with buffalo milk, that has a secret surprise. From the outside, it most resembles a ball of mozzarella, but in fact, this is a deception.
Over the christmas holiday, I was surprised to find this “swiss” cheese hailing from Ireland. Could there really be something called Irish Swiss cheese? Or, is something else going on? What is Swiss cheese? Cheese from Switzerland, of course. However, Swiss cheese has become synonymous with Emmantaler or Emmantal in particular. Swiss cheese, a staple […]
Oddly enough, there was actually a great number of Australian cheeses in Minnesotan supermarkets. While this violates my “eat local foods” while travelling rule, this one—despite being quite commercial—stood out as unique because of its interesting flavorings.
It was from Wisconsin. Although the cheese selection from Minnesota wasn’t wholly disappointing, it was certainly underwhelming. Most of the cheeses were from Wisconsin dairy, as explained in my post entitled “Not for all the cheese in Minnesota”. Notably there were some interesting cheeses from Australia that I had never seen before, but otherwise there […]
