cheese part 5 Nutrition and health

The nutritional value of cheese varies widely. Cottage cheese may consist of 4% fat and 11% protein while some whey cheeses are 15% fat and 11% protein, and triple-crème cheeses are 36% fat and 7% protein.[44] In general, cheese is a rich source (20% or more of the Daily Value, DV) of calcium, protein, phosphorus, sodium and saturated fat. A 28-gram (one ounce) serving of cheddar cheese contains about 7 grams (0.25 oz) of protein and 202 milligrams of calcium.[44] Nutritionally, cheese is essentially concentrated milk, but altered by the culturing and aging processes: it takes about 200 grams (7.1 oz) of milk to provide that much protein, and 150 grams (5.3 oz) to equal the calcium, though values for water-soluble vitamins and minerals can vary widely.[44] Macronutrient content of common cheeses, g per 100 g Water Protein Fat Carbs Swiss 37.1 26.9 27.8 5.4 Feta 55.2 14.2 21.3 4.1 Cheddar 36.8 24.9 33.1 1.3 Mozzarella 50 22.2 22.4 2.2 Cottage 80 11.1 4.3 3.4 Vitamin content of common cheeses, DV% per 100 g A B1 B2 B3 B5 B6 B9 B12 C D E K Swiss 17 4 17 0 4 4 1 56 0 11 2 3 Feta 8 10 50 5 10 21 8 28 0 0 1 2 Cheddar 20 2 22 0 4 4 5 14 0 3 1 3 Mozzarella 14 2 17 1 1 2 2 38 0 0 1 3 Cottage 3 2 10 0 6 2 3 7 0 0 0 0 Mineral content of common cheeses, DV% per 100 g Cl Ca Fe Mg P K Na Zn Cu Mn Se Swiss 2.8 79 10 1 57 2 8 29 2 0 26 Feta 2.2 49 4 5 34 2 46 19 2 1 21 Cheddar 3 72 4 7 51 3 26 21 2 1 20 Mozzarella 2.8 51 2 5 35 2 26 19 1 1 24 Cottage 3.3 8 0 2 16 3 15 3 1 0 14

Cardiovascular disease

National health organizations, such as the American Heart Association, Association of UK Dietitians, British National Health Service, and Mayo Clinic, among others, recommend that cheese consumption be minimized, replaced in snacks and meals by plant foods, or restricted to low-fat cheeses to reduce caloric intake and blood levels of LDL fat, which is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases.[46][47][48][49] There is no high-quality clinical evidence that cheese consumption lowers the risk of cardiovascular diseases.[46]

Pasteurization

A number of food safety agencies around the world have warned of the risks of raw-milk cheeses. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration states that soft raw-milk cheeses can cause "serious infectious diseases including listeriosis, brucellosis, salmonellosis and tuberculosis".[50] It is U.S. law since 1944 that all raw-milk cheeses (including imports since 1951) must be aged at least 60 days. Australia has a wide ban on raw-milk cheeses as well, though in recent years exceptions have been made for Swiss Gruyère, Emmental and Sbrinz, and for French Roquefort.[51] There is a trend for cheeses to be pasteurized even when not required by law.

Pregnant women may face an additional risk from cheese; the U.S. Centers for Disease Control has warned pregnant women against eating soft-ripened cheeses and blue-veined cheeses, due to the listeria risk, which can cause miscarriage or harm the fetus.[52]

Cultural attitudes

Although cheese is a vital source of nutrition in many regions of the world and it is extensively consumed in others, its use is not universal.

Cheese is rarely found in Southeast and East Asian cuisines, presumably for historical reasons as dairy farming has historically been rare in these regions, due in part to low rates of lactase persistence. Paneer (pronounced [pəniːr]) is a fresh cheese common in North India and Pakistan. It is an unaged, non-melting soft cheese made by curdling milk with a fruit- or vegetable-derived acid, such as lemon juice. Its acid-set form (cheese curd), before pressing, is called chhena. In Nepal, the Dairy Development Corporation commercially manufactures cheese made from yak milk and a hard cheese made from either cow or yak milk known as chhurpi.[53] Bhutan also produces a similar cheese called Datshi which is a staple in most Bhutanese curries.[54] The national dish of Bhutan, ema datshi, is made from homemade yak or mare milk cheese and hot peppers.[55] In Yunnan, China, several ethnic minority groups produce Rushan and Rubing from cow's milk.[56] Cheese consumption may be increasing in China, with annual sales doubling from 1996 to 2003 (to a still small 30 million U.S. dollars a year).[57] Certain kinds of Chinese preserved bean curd are sometimes misleadingly referred to in English as "Chinese cheese" because of their texture and strong flavor.

Strict followers of the dietary laws of Islam and Judaism must avoid cheeses made with rennet from animals not slaughtered in a manner adhering to halal or kosher laws.[58] Both faiths allow cheese made with vegetable-based rennet or with rennet made from animals that were processed in a halal or kosher manner. Many less orthodox Jews also believe that rennet undergoes enough processing to change its nature entirely and do not consider it to ever violate kosher law (see Cheese and kashrut). As cheese is a dairy food, under kosher rules it cannot be eaten in the same meal with any meat.

Rennet derived from animal slaughter, and thus cheese made with animal-derived rennet, is not vegetarian. Most widely available vegetarian cheeses are made using rennet produced by fermentation of the fungus Mucor miehei.[59] Vegans and other dairy-avoiding vegetarians do not eat conventional cheese, but some vegetable-based cheese substitutes (soy or almond) are used as substitutes.[59]

Collecting cheese labels is called "tyrosemiophilia".[60]

Odorous cheeses

Even in cultures with long cheese traditions, consumers may perceive some cheeses that are especially pungent-smelling, or mold-bearing varieties such as Limburger or Roquefort, as unpalatable. Such cheeses are an acquired taste because they are processed using molds or microbiological cultures,[61] allowing odor and flavor molecules to resemble those in rotten foods. One author stated: "An aversion to the odor of decay has the obvious biological value of steering us away from possible food poisoning, so it is no wonder that an animal food that gives off whiffs of shoes and soil and the stable takes some getting used to".[39]

Camembert was reputedly first made in 1791 by Marie Harel, a farmer from Normandy, following advice from a priest who came from Brie. She is credited with having refined a previously existing cheese recipe from the Pays d'Auge region and having launched it into the wider world. She passed her secrets on to her daughter, whose husband, Victor Paynel, presented one of his wife's best cheeses to Napoleon III who gave to it his royal seal of approval.

The origin of the cheese known today as Camembert is more likely to rest with the beginnings of the industrialization of the cheesemaking process at the end of the 19th century. In 1890, an engineer, M. Ridel, devised the wooden box that was used to carry the cheese and helped to send it for longer distances, in particular to America, where it became very popular. These boxes are still used today.

Before fungi were understood, the color of Camembert rind was a matter of chance, most commonly blue-grey, with brown spots. From the early 20th century onwards, the rind has been more commonly pure white, but it was not until the mid-1970s that pure white became standard.

The cheese was famously issued to French troops during World War I, becoming firmly fixed in French popular culture as a result. It has many other roles in French culture, literature, and history. It is now internationally known, and many local varieties are made around the world.

The variety named Camembert de Normandie was granted a protected designation of origin in 1992 after the original AOC in 1983. The AOC Camembert can only be made from raw, unpasteurized milk from Normandes cows. Problems with hygiene regulations have caused restrictions on importation and sale in some countries, notably the US.

Brie is a similar soft cheese, also made from cow's milk. However, there are differences such as its origin, typical market shape, size, and flavor. Brie originates from the Île de France while camembert comes from Normandy. Traditionally, brie was produced in large wheels, either 22.9 cm (9 in) or 36.8 cm (14.5 in) in diameter, and thus ripened more slowly than the smaller camembert cheeses. When sold, brie segments typically have been cut from the larger wheels (although some brie is sold as small, flat cylinders), and therefore its sides are not covered by the rind. By contrast, camembert is ripened as a small round cheese 10.2 cm (4 in) in diameter by 3.2 cm (1.26 in) thick and fully covered by rind. This ratio change between rind and paste makes camembert slightly stronger when compared to a brie ripened for the same amount of time. Once the rind is cut on camembert it typically has a more pungent aroma than brie. In terms of taste, camembert has a stronger, slightly sour, and sometimes chalky taste. The texture of camembert is softer than brie, and if warmed camembert will become creamier, whereas brie warms without losing as much structure.

Typically camembert tends to be sold whole in thin, round, wooden containers made from poplar. Modern variations in packaging include cartons and tin cans, with a ring-pull tab for opening (Camembert in metallic boxes does not exist on the French market). The cardboard boxes are reserved for the low-cost camemberts. The product is the same as in the wooden container, wrapped dry in a paper/foil wrapper, and not immersed in brine or oil.

what do you look for in a brie then?

PERSONALLY I prefer a mild, buttery brie. Lots of brie has a kind of “funk” to it, where it’ll stink up your kitchen and have a somewhat bitter taste as you swallow it (a “bitter finish”, if you want to sound like you know what you’re talking about). There is a TENDENCY for Italian brie to be mild and buttery, and for French brie to be earthy and mushroomy. That being said, all my favorite mild bries are in fact, French. So it’s not a hard-and-fast rule.

Here’s a general guide, keeping in mind that there will be exceptions to all of this:

A very pale, white rind and paste (“paste” being fancy-speak for “the middle, soft bit of a brie”) will tend to be mild and buttery. A more golden hue will tend toward to more earthy, funky, bitter brie.

The closer a hand-cut cheese is to its sell-by date, the more flavor it will have. You might like the funky golden brie, but not when it’s TOO ripe, so you’ll want to pick out one farthest from its date. Or you love that stinky cheese flavor, and the closest you can get to it’s date, the better. Mild brie that is super fresh will be borderline bland, but one close to its date will be soft, almost spreadable, and damn near like butter.

Packaged brie with a shelf life of, say, a month or more? That’s going to be an industrially made bulk brie. It will not ripen. Those are “stable curd” brie, and they’re made to have a very long shelf life. This might SEEM like a good thing, but the flavor will absolutely not change or develop. It will probably have a firm texture, never get softer, and the flavor will be exactly the same (read: pretty bland) up until it goes bad, in which case it’ll get FUNKY.

That being said, packaged stable curd brie makes for excellent recipe cheese. If you’re going to bake a brie, or you’re covering it in jam/preserves, then this is a great one to go with. It’s cheaper than a fresh cut brie, and if you’re going to be adding a lot of extra flavor to it, it doesn’t necessarily matter if your cheese is on the milder side, just as long as you have that brie texture.

ILLUSION - SURREALISM

Analyse creative manipulation images.

1. Zdzislaw Beksinski

The canvas, known as "Creeping Death", evokes a lot of emotions and remains relevant all the time. The leitmotif is death, which creeps silently like a spider. This is how he appeared in the eyes of the painter - death comes unexpectedly and destroys everything on its way.

Beksiński's paintings were about loneliness and the inevitability of death. The painter also often presented a vision of Armageddon. This is also the case of "Creeping Death". The end of the world appears in dark, brown and bloody colors. And death takes its toll and disappears unnoticed from the battlefield. The city burning in the background means that death has won again. Nobody survived. Death can take many shapes, it can resemble a human, an animal or a spider. In the painting by Zdzisław Beksiński, he is a terrifying creature that leaves the ruined area on its cramped limbs. Instead of the face, you can see a bandage through which a blood stain pierces. Instead of a torso, there is a hairy abdomen, similar to that of deadly spiders, and they will always flee from impending danger. Just like death, which also has time to hide from fire.

Beksiński's painting is one of the most terrifying contemporary works of Polish painting. Suffering, anger and resignation permeate them. The artist knows that he is unable to change his fate. He only has pain and the awareness that death will come for him. "Creeping Death" can be a universal picture, presenting the world after war, apocalypse or catastrophe. They can also be the darkest thoughts of every human being that circulate through the mind looking for an outlet. Because everyone is struggling with their own demons, which may appear completely different. It is certain that they cause fear, but they are essential in the fight against the suffering that is part of human life.

2. SALVADOR DALI

There are four clocks in the picture. One hangs from a dry tree, the other, with a blue shield and golden edging, flows down from a brown plinth. There is a fly on it, which can symbolize the "flying" and passing time. The orange watch lying next to it seems to be less soft and melting than the others. Ants crawled over him. The orange clock looks like it's about to be eaten by insects. Ants are here a symbol of rotting, decay. The fourth clock is in the center of the painting. It flows down from a deformed, beige-colored form. Only after looking closely you can see something like a nose, eyelid, long eyelashes. The distorted form resembles skin pulled from the face. According to some, it is a self-portrait of Salvador himself.

"Soft clocks" is nothing but a delicate, extravagant and lonely, paranoid-critical camembert of time and space.’’ Salvador Dali

Persistence of memory is perhaps one of the artist's most recognizable works. It was established in 1931. The idea was born when Dali, eating a melting French Camembert cheese, saw clock faces in it.

Dali created works that were supposed to amaze or shock. He did not represent anything directly, but through a vision. Therefore, he is included in the group of surrealists. Obraz Persistence of memory is a dream about time deformed by memories and dreams. Gala - Dali's muse and wife - said about this painting that the viewer's memory would only be the "softness" of the watches, because anyone who saw this work at least once would never forget it. The rocks of Cape Creus are an element of the landscape that appears in many of Dali's works. They have become an example of "hard" forms. The artist, who has a well-prepared drawing and knows the perspective, creates in a surprising way. An example is theoretically correctly painted clocks, but why is one of them hung over a branch, and the other running off the counter? It was this astonishment that the artist wanted to combine various objects in any way. The elements of the painting are arranged on the canvas in such a way that we have the impression of a large space and emptiness. Thanks to vivid imagination, all details have been divided into soft and hard. Clocks are among the soft ones.

3. RENÉ MAGRITTE

With my popular sympathy for the Belgian painter René Magritte, I have allowed myself to be introduced to you by opening the whole series "Art for Tuesday" with his "Lovers". Together with the blog returning to the expanses of the Internet, let Magritte be the patron of the reactivation of this cycle, this time with her "Son of Man".

The very title "Son of Man" (French: "Le fils de l'homme") is a bit puzzling when confronted with this picture presents itself.

After all, we see an elegant man in a suit and a bowler hat against the background of the wall separating him from the sea, above him there are clouds that announce a storm or storm. And what is very important - it is a self-portrait.

Oh yes, I would ... Before the face of forgotten people (levitating?) A green apple that makes his face invisible, revealing part of the eye and eyebrow in fact. We have to remind ourselves that the Belgian was definitely a surrealist who grew out of the impressionist school. However, he used his symbolic linguistic voice, which was shaped by such tragic experiences as the mother's suicide - hence the motive of the shroud. The motif of a veiled face, or the lack of it, is constantly present in Magritte's painting. Maybe it allows you to stay safe? For both the "covered" and those looking at him? Or maybe these masks and covers allow for proper perception of things (I refer to the author's painting "Rape")?

As for the "Son of Man", a stretched (as always), original interpretation appeared in my head.

The apple ripens with its apple tree represented by the man. He is well dressed, which can mean high social status. Or maybe an apple covering a man's face makes him anonymous? is it just a tree from which society grows? And when he dies, will someone eat the forbidden fruit that he has grown, and will continue this process? Another "Son of Man" ..?

4. Max Ernst

"Day and Night" is a work that Max Ernst painted in the years 1941-1942. It presents a gloomy rocky landscape in dark colors. The image of the night is dominant here - the dark blue sky and the outlines of boulders. On the dark background, however, there are traces of the day, resembling daytime photographs of the same space. In these pictures these places appear completely different - they are sunny and full of bright colors. They do not resemble a barren night landscape.

Ernst's work follows surrealist poetics. Its meaning becomes understandable above all in the historical context in which it was created. It is about the tragedy of World War II, which left its mark on the artist's own biography. He miraculously managed to escape from the hands of the Gestapo and emigrate from France to the United States.

The night landscape is a barren land devoid of color and optimism. One gets the impression that we are dealing with a world completely destroyed by some cataclysm. His memories are only optimistic photographs from the past, which show the old face of the landscape. These optimistic incrustations in combination with the dominant gray and sterility not only do not cheer up the whole, but make it even more repulsive. We are dealing here with a world that will never return to its former glory.

The colorful pictures bring to mind illustrations from children's books. Thus, the artist refers to the myth of childhood as a lost paradise. Children's dreams are triggered here, in which reality seems to be a magical and wonderful being. At the same time, the juxtaposition of colored fragments with a gloomy background is also associated with the biblical Eden, where innocence and beauty are destroyed by sin and evil.

You can also understand "Night and Day" as a kind of puzzle. The picture resembles a puzzle that needs to be matched in an appropriate way so that they form a whole together. In this sense, one should see in Ernst's work traces of hope for rebuilding what was destroyed during the war. It is, in a way, a proposal to organize the world once again so that it becomes a place where a person feels safe again.

5. Pablo Picasso

"Guernica" is a famous painting by Pablo Picasso, painted in 1937 in reaction to the Spanish Civil War. The work is an act of protest against violence and at the same time a great manifestation of pacifism.

The title of the painting comes from the name of a Spanish city bombed by the German Luftwaffe air force in response to resistance to General Franco's group.

"Guernica" shows deformed human and animal figures, forming a chaotic swirl. You can see the bodies in pieces, especially the heads and limbs. The severed hands tighten tightly on the objects they hold: a candle or a sword. The mouths of the characters are usually open in a silent scream, and terror is visible in their eyes. People seem to squirm in deathly groans. Human figures blend with animals.

The whole thing looks like a huge, dynamic swirl. The depressing impression is deepened by the colors of the painting, in shades of black and gray. The central part of the painting is lit by a light bulb in the upper edge of the work. It seems that the situation depicted in the picture takes place in a narrow room, intensifying the impression of being surrounded and threatened.

The painting was painted in cubist aesthetics, which in the case of such a dramatic topic emphasizes the cruelty and tragedy of war. The fragmentation of the solid is here not only an act of artistic deformation, but also emphasizes the essence of any armed conflict, which is the total destruction of the world.

The war appears on Picasso's canvas as unbridled chaos and suffering. People dehumanize, they are reduced to the level of terrified animals, driven by the survival instinct. Human remains are clearly deformed, they resemble meat. Human and animal bodies are fragmented as if after a bomb had exploded.

The symbol of destruction is the Spanish bull emerging from the gloom, which covers the unfolding events with an unshakable gaze. Broken hands clutch at useless objects, among which stand out a candle and a broken sword. The former may symbolize the desire to illuminate the escape route, but it is also a sign of mourning for those who died. A broken sword and a torn horse indicate the uselessness of conventional weapons in a modern war that brings mass death and destruction.

Picasso's painting exudes an atmosphere of fear and terror, the image of a mother lamenting over a child's corpse is particularly poignant. The claustrophobic narrowness of the room in which the characters find themselves emphasizes the non-exit character of their situation.

Cambozola is a cow milk cheese that is a combination of a French soft-ripened triple cream cheese and Italian Gorgonzola. It is made from the same blue Penicillium roqueforti mold used to make Gorgonzola, Roquefort, and Stilton. Cream is added to the milk, giving Cambozola a rich consistency. The rind of the cheese is similar to the Camembert rind. Cambozola is considerably milder than either Gorgonzola or Camembert. The cheese name appears to be a portmanteau of Camembert and Gorgonzola, given that its flavor profile combines the moist, rich creaminess of Camembert with the sharpness of blue Gorgonzola. Product of Germany.

Great Wines...

Among the several delights in life is locating a silent little restaurant with wonderful food and also a choice of fine wines. For some, this might imply a regional restaurant with terrific delicious chocolate desserts big enough to feed the entire table and also lots of streaming champagne. Others may locate their local steakhouse that cuts their very own meat and also cooks it flawlessly to specs whenever taken pleasure in with a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon is the answer to an incredible meal. And afterwards there are those that choose a fish and shellfish recipe delicately prepared as well as accompanied by their favourite white wine, possibly a Riesling or a Chardonnay. Since everyone appears to have a various opinion about their finest dish experience, many various other favourites are out there.

For some, thinking about a meal suggests choosing a kind of cuisine such as Italian, Mexican, American, Chinese or Indian. Well, think what? Each and also every one of these cuisines have particular kinds of wine that are customarily served and also delighted in. It's as simple as taking a seat at an eating table and looking over the food selection or wine listing. Normally, the favoured wines are detailed near the top or in an area of wines from the certain country on which the restaurant's food is based. And if your seeing a particular nation it's even less complicated. Simply ask your steward for the wines recommended by the dining establishment. Generally, the usual wines in supply will be the regional varieties.

While restaurant eating is what most individuals think about when they want a good supper as well as wine experience, it is absolutely not the only choice available. Some take pleasure in cooking and also are exceptionally proficient at preparing unique and tasty dishes. Also for those that like not to cook, nowadays it's simple to locate mail-order premium solutions that will certainly deliver remarkable dishes ready to cook to your doorstep. Other choices consist of having a personal chef come by your residence to prepare a specialist dish to your specs. Whatever option you select, don't fail to remember to quit by your neighbourhood wine store and also get an option of fine wines to go with your remarkable meal.

Something that tends to perplex lots of beginning or seldom wine drinkers is what specific food as well as wine mixes are proper. There are a variety of so-called policies when it pertains to selecting a specific kind of wine to consume alcohol with a specific dish. As well as to additionally complicate points, some wines are better suited prior to a dish while others are much better suited for alcohol consumption after a dish. It can all be so difficult to the novice that they quit and also get a soft drink as opposed to needing to make the distressing wine choice and show up silly. Primarily there are a pair of methods to take care of this issue and also ultimately get over the concern of ordering wine.

The initial means to overcome the anxiety of ordering wine is to end up being educated. Now, acquiring an education and learning in wine will involve a long time and job similar to anything you established out to learn. A good place to start is the collection. Search for publications and magazines about wine as well as reach work reading them over. If you discover that your library has actually restricted resources worrying existing wine information, take a journey over to your neighbourhood bookstore to have a look at the magazine shelfs first. A number of the bigger bookstores have various magazine options about virtually any kind of subject of interest as well as they need to have several on the topic of wine. Still an additional source of information is the internet. Do search on wine and also see what you can discover. With a little time invested, you'll recognise a lot about the numerous kinds of wines and also really feel more like an expert than a beginner in no time.

Although learning more about wine is most likely the most effective approach to coming to be comfortable with it, there is an additional alternative. A rapid approach would be to simply disregard your fear and start buying. Ask yourself if it truly matters if another person believes you have made a poor selection. If your wine option does not work with the food you bought, attempt something else following time. After a bit of test and also mistake, you'll be picking wines that complement your meals. The main point to keep in mind regarding food as well as wine combinations is that the food ought to make the wine preference much better than it tastes when eaten by itself.

French wines are in a course of their very own. It wouldn't be tough to base an entire vacation around a visit to France to taste many of the terrific French wines used by this nation. As a matter of fact, most individuals think about France as well as wine in the exact same idea. That can envision strolling past a walkway coffee shop as well as not seeing a container of the nation's best on each table? As well as there is no better mid-day meal than a container of wine, a loaf of French bread, some cheese as well as fruit to please the appetite. There is no question that wine as well as France have a history and the country creates some of the finest, if not the finest, wine in the entire world.

With every one of the wineries and various wineries in France, both large as well as tiny, virtually every type of wine is different relying on the winemaker. Obviously, that is all part of the appeal as well as appeal making wine manufacturing a lot more of an art than a science. The majority of the variety comes from the several selections a winemaker must make when producing their wine. Initially, they have to select a sort of grape as well as a setup for their vineyard. Naturally, often times this choice has currently been made as they most likely already possess their winery. The climate in their location has an impact on production as well as the suitable harvest date in their certain conditions.

Added considerations that can influence the qualities of wine consist of the kind of container utilised during the fermentation procedure, the relevant temperature levels as well as actual size of the fermentation duration. An additional variable is the sort of container utilised throughout the growth phase which is generally some kind of barrel or barrel. Among the most prominent wine areas in France are Sparkling Wine, Alsace, Bordeaux, Burgundy, Loire and Rhone. Just listening to the names of these remarkable areas can make you intend to get on a plane as well as take a wine excursion. Certainly, a quicker means to obtain nearly the same feeling is to flip on the traveling network, grab a bottle of among your favourite French wines and also unwind at www.wines2you.co.uk

Give Riesling a shot if you're looking for excellent German wine. Among the oldest as well as best kinds of wines offered today is German wine. Although wine has actually been produced by Germany for a multitude of years and also has a lengthy background, wine production approaches have actually created as well as proceeded in addition to the moments. The nation is known in particular for its white wine which consists of the bulk of the total wine production yearly. Obviously, the country likewise generates red wine yet in much lesser quantities than the white selections. It interests keep in mind that over twenty percent of Germany's whole wine manufacturing is composed of a single sort of grape, the Riesling grape.

With such a huge part of production purchased Riesling wine, it comes as no surprise that this sort of wine is maybe the best-known as well as most preferred of the wines created in Germany. Although various other nations likewise grow Riesling grapes as well as generate this sort of wine, none seems to compare to the German variety. This schedules in big component to the dirt and also environmental conditions located in Germany. It is a popular fact amongst wine trainees that grapes handle characteristics of the dirt as well as other environments so relying on where a grape is grown, the same type of wine can differ considerably in the completed item.

Mentioning grape expanding conditions, Germany has the best backdrop for wineries and winemaking. Most of the vineyards are situated in the southwestern component of the country in virtually excellent conditions. Visualise an item of the countryside, with Riesling and also other sorts of grapes expanding on the either slope or in valleys, often with a river flowing nearby and also you have the perfect starts of a wonderful wine. That describes most vineyards in Germany. Because the Riesling grapes, in certain, have a longer ripening period which enables a much more established fragrance and also better equilibrium to the completed wine, Germany is the ideal setting to make this grape also better. Whether you choose to try Riesling or among the other impressive options of German wine, make certain to add wines from this country to your shortlist of favourites.

I didn’t set out the cheese, above, as part of dinner last night (Thursday); my wife and I thought it would be too much, given the Parmesan in my wife’s homemade Caesar dressing.

We won’t dig into it tonight, either, because we’re having eggs - omelette of some kind, with cheddar cheese and some of Trader Joe’s spreadable goat cheese.

However, it’s available at Trader Joe’s and it’s called “Delice de Bourgogne.” If you like soft, super-creamy ripened cheeses, this stuff is a “wow.”

How Does Cottage Cheese Taste Like?

Did you know that How Does Cottage Cheese Taste Like? Cottage cheese, unlike other cheeses, does not require any ripening or ageing to bring out its flavour. It's simple to create, and the flavour remains consistent regardless of how it's prepared. What does cottage cheese taste like?

A Toast to Champagne and Sparkling Wines

In December, we travel across the ocean to discuss one of nature's gifts, Champagne! Champagne is a wine region in France, so only wines from this area may be properly called Champagne. Any "champagne" produced outside this region in France should be referred to as Sparkling Wine.

No other beverage in the world symbolizes a celebration better than Champagne/Sparkling wine. These beverages help usher in the New Year as well as weddings, birthdays, promotions and any other special occasions. This time of year is when approximately 80 percent of this beverage is consumed. At holiday parties, my catering company likes to set up a sparkling station near the front door, greeting guests with a festive glass of bubbly.

Wine speak

The Champagne region in France is located about 90 miles northeast of Paris. In the late 17th century, French Champagnes were formally recognized as a new style of wine. Champagne's unique effervescence came about due to the cooler climate of northern France. Grapes from this region generally had not fully ripened nor totally fermented in the Fall when wines are traditionally placed in barrels. Over the winter, the champagne was dormant, then began fermenting once again in the Spring. This led to a fizzy beverage that was cloudy, due to the spent yeast floating in the barrels. At the time, this was considered an inferior product.

The French in the Champagne region created a new process to clarify their beverage. Instead of traditional barrel aging and storage, champagne was the first wine to be stored and aged in individual bottles with corks. This new process, Methode Champenois, (still in use today) involves inverting the bottles in racks and gently turning the bottles (riddling), to help the yeast collect in the neck of the bottle.

Next, the neck of the bottle is submerged in a brine solution that freezes the yeast section. The bottle is popped to expel the plug of yeast (disgorgement), resulting in a clear beverage. The champagne is then topped off with still (non-fermented) wine held in reserve for this purpose. A small amount of yeast and sugar are added to the bottle, then corked. This starts the second fermentation process. As the yeast consumes the sugar, a small amount of alcohol is created, as well as carbon dioxide. This allows the bottle to regain its fizz.

Today there are about 100 Champagne Houses in the Champagne region that are supplied with grapes or grape juice from over 15,000 local growers. Given the cooler climate, faster ripening grape varietals are used exclusively in this region; Chardonnay (used exclusively in Blanc de Blancs), Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier (used with Chardonnay in Blanc de Noirs and Roses). There are three different methods to produce Champagne; the traditional Methode Champenois where wines ferment in individual bottles, the Charmat Process where wines are fermented in large steel vats and, third, the Artificial Carbonation process where wine is injected with carbon dioxide - which is the most inexpensive approach (and can lead to headaches). Quality Champagnes cost more due to the winery's use of higher quality grapes, the blending of aged, still wines and the cost of storing the bottled Champagne for years before release.Click here champagnes sparklers

There are three different styles of Champagne or Sparkling wines, ranging from light to medium to full body (based on the amount of time the yeast is left in contact with the wine). Also, sparkling wine's sweetness levels ranges from Brut (dry) to Extra Dry (semi-sweet) to Doux (sweet).

Food and wine pairings

As discussed, the holidays are when the majority of Sparkling wines are consumed. They tend to be food friendly due to their higher acidity levels. This refreshing beverage is an ideal aperitif (lighter style is best) or can be used throughout a meal (heavier, more yeasty styles). They tend to match well with spicy and salty dishes. When served as an aperitif, my catering company tends to pair the lighter style Sparklings with sushi, smoked salmon canapés, garlicky shrimp crostini, spicy chicken sate and grilled ahi tuna skewers with a wasabi aioli. They also pair well with goat cheese and semi-soft white cheeses that offer mild flavors.

Sparkling wines have been a house favorite for years. Personal favorites from California that I recommend include Schramsberg and Domaine Carneros, which we just visited this past October. On the French side, a smaller House that is receiving great accolades is Charles Ellner, whose Brut Champagne Seduction ($65) and Brut Reserve ($40) offer tremendous value for the money. Included in the following are suggestions from local merchants of Champagnes and Sparkling wines and their retail prices, which may vary...

August 2020

My students all told me that they'd be watching Outer Banks over the holidays, a US teen drama. I got curious and now I'm hooked. Another excellent series I binge-watched is The Umbrella Academy. For me it was one of the greatest moments in TV history when Klaus shared a piece of wisdom as a guru and told his devotee: Don't go chasing waterfalls. Stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to. (the divine TLC lyrics)

Finally finishing my macrame hanging planter. Cleaning up the balcony and my apartment. Listening to the rain from bed.

The Happy Medium winery has amazing branding. Two eyes to look - one eye to see.

A really nice, solitary summer evening after a very frustrating, infuriating afternoon (nobody wanted to go swimming with me and I felt all the feelings and was too stubborn and lazy to go alone - very mature). After a 4-hour-nap I made some roasted veggies with tsatsiki, lit some candles outside and enjoyed my meal in the dark.

Learning about malaphors.

I just found out that my favourite French summer comedy of all times, Les Petits Mouchoirs, has a sequel!!! I'm so excited. Need to organise a movie night asap. [edit: We watched it in Ibiza and it was perfect! Need to see it again asap.]

I made a crazy delicious pot of rice the other night. It was more like a risotto with lemon and white wine. Roasted vegetables with lemon oil. I wanted to add parmesan but frankly, that would have ruined it. And that says a lot about the quality of a dish in my opinion!

Getting out of bed in the morning. Starting to organise, declutter, throw stuff out. Very grateful for past me. I love it when I'm in the mood for tasks I usually put off.

My very own custom-made bottle rack. I couldn't find anything fitting so I just made one myself and it's perfect.

Finding out what okra plants actually look like. I'd always assumed they grow like green beans.

Drinking Aperol Spritz on Becky's balcony. Talking about boobs, embarrassing her kids, looking at a friendship book her colleagues had given her as a parting gift. Cake, a tour of Rosi's Playmobil empire, talking about the expression of psychological issues through art. Talking non-stop, in fact. We often don't even manage to finish a topic and jump from thought to thought.

A hardware store date with Manu on a Friday evening. At sunset. Flowers, soft hugs. Trying on hats, finding the right things. Him walking home, me on a bike, jousting with the wooden stick I had just bought, singing. Ending up outside an Italian restaurant, ordering truffle oil pizza. And the gorgonzola. Oh my.

A fantastic bi-anthem from the TV show Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.

An afternoon at Maria Einsiedel. With Diego, Lorena and Daniela. But I met Claudia on the subway and she also wanted to go swimming so we just went together. So we kinda reconnected? We all sat in one place, Manu L. and Frank as well. Floating down the Eiskanal was perfect. And in the end I spent the whole evening with Frank and Claudia. Interesting development. Somehow people keep coming back into my life this month.

Harvesting my very own sun-ripened tomatoes.

An afternoon at the lake in Feldmoching with Sash and Lena. Naked dancers, serious volleyball seniors, jelly shoes. The story about flesh-eating pineapple. Chocolate-orange muffins and leftover salad. An accidental wasp-murder (it was drenched in oil so I had to put it out of its misery). Talking about moaners (or: when men are really loud during sex). And about getting old and lazy. I really want a beach chair now. Posture, eh? And comfort. Yeah, comfort.

"We gain sustenance from nature’s regeneration." An article about the therapeutic power of gardening. I absolutely have to read Sue Stuart-Smith's book which they're discussing. Warm-colored kilims hung from ancient rafters above a seating area furnished with tapestry-upholstered couches, sculptures perched on tables, and tall bookcases. The space had the atmosphere of Freud’s famous analytic study, but on a giant scale. A huge picture window framed the countryside beyond. An enormous honeysuckle, which looked as if it had flourished as long as the Stuart-Smiths’ marriage, climbed a dark, shingled wall and crept over the roof.

Dreaming about being held tightly. A warm embrace. The perfect energy exchange. Feeling protected and loved.

An evening at the outdoor cinema in Munich's Westpark with my boys Frank and Manu. We watched a rather forgettable French comedy but I loved spending time with those two. I felt at ease, protected, special. Always a plus: Krupuk ASMR!

Spending time with my mum. Harvesting blackberries for breakfast. Going to the healthfood store together. Looking for an e-bike and swimming goggles for me. Talking about my brother, my dad. Issues. Dinner on the veranda. Picking some of her crystals to take home with me. Very lovely and peaceful.

An extremely lazy week in Ibiza. Getting up early (German programming, we can't help it), far too much breakfast food (fresh juice, fruit, lovely Spanish hazelnuts and my own personal chef to make me pancakes and omelettes). Snorkelling - playing with an octopus and hermit crabs, finding little treasures like a dead sea urchin and shiny sea shells. Diving through caverns. Nursing a bad sunburn. Reading the new Hank Green novel on the hotel veranda (it's such a good book again). A dip in the luke-warm pool once in a while. Cooling down in our room. Heading out for dinner. Drinking red wine. Falling asleep early.

Climbing up a hill. Watching the sunset on the cliffs with a bottle of rosé. Gorgeous.

Nightswimming (deserves a quiet night). Jumping into the pitch-black Mediterranean in our underwear after eating black paella (with squid ink). Humming the R.E.M. song accordingly.

Suddenly speaking Spanish. Well, broken Spanish, but they mostly get what I mean.

A huge glass of iced coffee after a long cycling tour. Lots of ice cubes and vanilla ice-cream. Lounging on the outside sofa. After having an outside shower. Nice.

Drinking red wine on a candlelit veranda. Playing my summer jam playlist.

Lots of animals. Watching the lizards fight each other. And the goats across the road. Cuddling with a needy cat in San Ferran. And Jaco the dog who belongs to the guitar workshop's owner.

Pizza night at the workshop. a) I love places that smell like wood and oil, places that are really lived in and you can see that people actually spend time and work there. Creative chaos. b) Damian, one of the teachers there, is man candy. Long, black hair and icy blue eyes.

The night sky over Formentera. You can actually see the Milky Way and shooting stars here.

Empty beaches. The dunes. Snorkelling. Spending time underwater has a very calming effect on me. It's like entering a different universe.

Creative projects. Flow. I was completely in my zone when I was building an octopus out of sand on the beach. Forgetting about time. Discomforts. The sun. Just digging in the sand with my bare hands. But I also played around with watercolour and chalk, made some pencil drawings, for example a still life with grapes and twigs from the garden. I developed some solar photographs, too. Experimenting is fun!

Alone time. I've been craving it so much lately. Being around 4 people all the time is incredibly exhausting for me. I'm not used to it at all.

Solving the New Yorker crossword puzzle one Friday morning.

Having Pomadas at Kiosko 62 during sunset. Really chill vibes. Getting drunk quickly. Taking selfies. The sea, the sun, some hippies. Nice.

Preparing dinner together. Singing along to the music. Feeling the effect of the sunset cocktails. It's interesting to see how much my usually so restrained friends change with a few sips of gin.

The availability of truffle products in Spain. Cheese, crisps, oil... I love it.

Talking about artists' muses with Flo - mostly Gala Dalí and Françoise Gilot.
