Summer Cheeses
Cheese monger Steve Jenkins says the summer is a great time to enjoy different cheeses. Why during summertime specifically? Jenkins says animals are eating the highest quality grasses and foliage, and it's prime time for fresh cheeses. Here are some varieties he suggests you try during the season:
Tomme de Savoie
Morbier
Mahón from Spain
Fresh goat and sheep cheeses like Brin d'Amor
Drizzle honey over sheep or goat cheese then grind some fresh pepper over the top.
Burrata from Apulia and Basilicata, a classic mozzarella with a buttery cream inside. It's worth the splurge.
