Charcuterie & Cheese 101

Charcuterie & Cheese 101

We are very fortunate to be able to work with a lot of different people throughout the state & from time to time we get to have new adventures and experiences.  This week was one of those times.  We attended a Charcuterie & Cheese Tasting. 

 

It was hosted by Edible Charlotte magazine, Studio Kitchen Charcuterie & Orrman's Cheese Shop.

 

 

It was really great for us because several of the meats used in the charcuterie were from Wild Turkey Farms.  It was also a chance to educate ourselves not only in the art of charcuterie but cheese.

 

 

There were 6 different tasting pairs.  In the picture above they  are from left to right.

Tasting Pair 1
The Cheese-  Pawlet: raw cow's milk
Consider Bardwell Farm, West Pawlet, VT

The Meat- Coppa


Tasting Pair 2
The Cheese- Tomme: cow & goat's milk
Three Graces Dairy, Marshall, NC

The Meat- Fiocco
Pork provided by Wild Turkey Farms

Tasting Pair 3
The Cheese- Bayley Hazen: raw cow's milk

The Meat- Speck

Tasting Pair 4
The Cheese- Prairie Breeze Cheddar: cow's milk

The Meat- Soppressata

*****

Everything was delicious!!  The Speck was one of my favorites.  I also liked the Nduja which was described as a fiery hot, spreadable salame.

 

As for the cheese,  I love Chevre & also really liked the Pawlet.
