Cheese, glorious cheese!

Yes, I know the actual lyrics are food but I'm about cheese here. Real Cheese not the malignate plastic sold in most grocery stores as cheese but real cheese. Cheese made for raw milk and buy human hands.

If you are out in Erath county, and like cheese get off the beaten path and check out, Veldhuizen Farm cheeses. I'm seating here savorying their Gruyere with some thin slices of pear, a glass of Cuvaison Chardonnay and Miles Davis.

They have real cheese and it would go well with the holiday season.

Yes, this is a blatant plug for them as I want them to do well so I'll have a good local source of real cheese.

Cheese should be hard, very sharp, and capable of being used as a weapon of war. Soft cheeses, Blech! Hard sharp cheddar, or cheshire, now those are cheeses!

You are looking at their Texas Sharp Cheddar....

They have several cheeses not on the website.

Cheese should come from goats and be smelly. There are a few cow cheeses I like, but mostly I like goat cheeses.

Also, although I approve of your choice of Miles Davis in general, I imagine he's rolling in his grave at the thought of some guy from Texas relaxing to his music with wine and cheese... Which album? There are so many great line-ups that he went through that its basically impossible for me to pick a favorite (although I am a bit partial to either the Coltrane, Evans groups and the Hancock, Ron Carter stuff).

I have a great source of Mozorrella cheese less than 2.5 miles from my house with a full old school butcher shop another 2 blocks away where they will cut directly off the quarter the cuts exactly the way you want them.

It was the new master of 'Kinda Blue' which has Coltrane as part of the group.

I agree about Goat cheese but hard find in Texas. Nor can you find good Horse Cheese. Which surprises me with all the horses here, guess they've not figured out you can milk a horse. Nor can you get real mozzarella any where in the US since it's properly made with Water Buffalo milk.

I wonder what sort of cheese can be made from American Bison milk and even what the fat content of that milk would be or of the hybrid beefalo would be. Yeah the problem would be to constrain the bison to milk them but I bet you could get a premium price for the product-yeah you would need to get at least 500 gallons a day to do anything commercial wize but what the hey?

Yeah we have a lot of horses that would produce milk, also squirrels and prairie dogs!
