Hey, enjoyed the video! Your content is amazing. May I suggest growing your UA-cam channel? Sometimes I want from you. It's a free consultation
Can't wait to give this recipe a go
I love making savoury versions of this for my cheeseboards...the sky is truly the limit here
Polenta and grits are made from different corn varieties
can you kindly share the PDF for me to study and print?
Hi There, I would like to open a cheese shop. I would like to reach out to you.
I know of at least one more way to cut cheese, though I understand why you may not have included it in this video.
'Cutting the cheese' never gets old. :)
Are people still able to sign up for your study sessions? The information sounds wonderful.
Just finding you. Very helpful info. Thanks so much! U r great!
Ty!
what is a coosh ball? sorry not american...
Incredible presentation. Thanks so much 😊
So helpful - THANK YOU!
Questions, are the cows vaccinated? What kind of cows are they? Is it A2/A2 milk or A1?
What the heck? Like I have that utensil...🤦♀️
These videos are for cheesemongers and deli staff. If your shop does not have a scoring knife or platform cheese cutter, then you need to speak to your management to get you the tools you need.
I love them omg
Parmigiano-Reggiano with Polenta for me.
No sound?
I've cracked hundreds of wheels during my time at Wholefoods market Whiteplains. Vinegar is what you use to clean parm mold. You did an excellent job 👏 👍🏼
Respected sir,here we have organic cheese.have you market for it?
honestly i feel like kraft singles are better than any of these
Kraft singles are a very iconic and nostalgic cheese product. The cheese that goes into making kraft singles is the discarded product that cheese makers can not sell to the public, so in stead of throwing that product away and losing money, they sell this subpar product (at a much lower cost) to kraft, who in turn use it for their product. Every cheese has a purpose. Thanks for your comment. I hope you continue to taste all the amazing cheeses in this world, and that you find one that makes you smile.
Is there any way to tell me what brand cheese knives you are using?
For the platform cheese cutter, I am using the HANDEE Brand. Boska makes some as well, but they are metal. Both work fine. For chef and pairing knives, any brand will work (I just went to my local restaurant supply store for those). For any specific cheese knives, Boska makes great quality knives. Thanks for watching!
@@nathanaldridge5637 Thank you so much!
@@nathanaldridge5637 Thank you so very much for specifying the knives! I am looking for a good parmesan cheese knife. It was informative to see you break down this wheel and how to use these knives.
@@nathanaldridge5637 Hi, one more question if you don't mind about the Bosca parmesan knife, is it full tang? Also, which do you think is easier to work with, the 4" or 4.5"? Thanks again!
I am an Artician cheese maker kindly add me in your webinar.
Can you use a Camembert like cheese ?
absolutely! I would recommend removing some of the rind though so it doesn't overpower the flavor.
I appreciate this video. I am only now viewing it on 7/1/23. Will there be any more study sessions for the 2023 TASTE test that I can either participate in or view in archive?
Thanks Liz. You are helpful with this pairing.
Hello what is the make and model if your cheese slicer. Thank you
Thank you, a couple years since this was made, but now that I'm out of the restaurant industry and in the cheese mongering industry, I decided to take the CCP test once I'm eligible. I still have a long time before I am, but studying early will make the test easier as well as making me a better specialty cheese manager. Following along and highlighting the key topics I think is going to be very useful.
thank u this is great
Glad you like it, thank you for watching!
Will there be anything different during the Facebook live event on 24 Feb? Thank you.
Hi Dustin, the Facebook live will go further into depth on how to apply, take the exam, and recertification. The head of the certification committee will lead it. I think it’s helpful to watch it. If you can’t make it live, it will be recorded and added to the ACS website.
Thank you!
Thank you!
I love everything about Humboldt Fog. The whiteness of the cheese and the ash layer through the middle is so on point of a foggy day at the rugged North Californian coast. The ash being the horizon line that you can barely see in the distance.
And super tasty
When I was younger I also enjoyed visiting the farm of a family from my church. I loved the animals, the land, and even the smells, A Big THANK YOU to our farmers. I am always amazed at what you are able to accomplish. Our hungry world is well cared for by you. Thank you and may God bless you with good health to continue your wonderful caring work..!
As a new cheesemonger/ Murray's Cheese master, your videos have really been helping me. Thank you!
【promosm】
I'm in charge of the cheese counter since a couple of weeks now and u're video's are helping a lot thx 😊
A Dutch woman schooled me on how to correctly pair Limburger (since it is from the Limburg region of the Netherlands I presumed she would know). In America, we overpower the cheese with other strong flavors which actually does a great disservice. Strong cheeses should be loved not bludgeoned! As Liz said, dark bread, raw onions, mustard, etc. are often used to go with Limburger. But the Dutch woman said, go sweet. And it works marvelously well! Liz and Nathan talking about the meatiness of washed rind cheeses, a balsamic bacon onion jam would work nicely for the Limburger and the intense washed rind.
Your videos are fun, they inject suspense and caprlce tempered with your own experience and practicality and the dialog helps further the possibilities, well done and thank you! Nicely done and so helpful. We are having an opening of a new cheese shop in a few weeks, if we can't get you to help, I'll have to impersonate you.
I have a problem where the cheese ends up being cutted with wonky lines. How can I avoid that?
I suggest getting a firmer grip on the cheese and pull the wire through the cheese quickly, with purpose. Do not hesitate, going slow and hesitating during a cut can cause wonky lines...so sorry for being so late with this response!
Love these cheeses. I'm a new cheesemonger and I have been enjoying your videos
🍇🍈🍓🍌🍊
Basically yellow grits 🤦🏾
Damn I got heart problem
I love these videos, by the way, they are so helpful and generous!!! Thank you!!!
Where can we get your booklet? Professional educational series!
I would love to know also
37:05 Yoav Perry, owner and head cheesemaker of Philadelphia's Perrystead Dairy makes a lovely geotrichum rinded cheese called Intergalactic that uses a thistle rennet.
Cheese
Only series on UA-cam that actually provides recommendations for cheese pairings across categories!
I'm emotionally invested in this cheese, i will follow your career with great interest.
