Kosher Cheeses at Kosherfest

When I go to the Fancy Food Show I find my mouth watering when I pass the cheese displays. Many vendors bring houndreds of cheese and visitors can have tastes of hundreds if not thousands of cheeses from all over the world. Atalanta usually brings a nice selection of kosher cheese but I still feel deprived. At kosherfest, I can taste all cheeses and thus I am happy.



I went to a cheese and wine tasting at Kosherfest sponsored by Israel cheese board. We had a great time trying cheeses like Shahat, and Turquoise as well as wines. We also tried Chef Ran's recipes including crostini covered wihth goat cheese and a caramelized onion as well as a pepper filled with goat cheese with pecans.





There was a huge array of cheeses from Oneg including a gouda and cheddar. They also had a giant Oneg logo carved out of a cheese block.

















We found some great new Israeli cheeses including:


feta cubes













machengo with bay leaves (also a machengo without bay leaves)














brie with pecans












We then visited Joseph Fatms who had delicious aged cheddar, monterey jack both in blocks and shredded.

















More Israeli cheeses including a kosher roquefort and kosher caciotta.

























Last we saw Dew-Lay cheese. They make double gloucester, red leicester and cheddar. They will be making a double gloucester with green onions soon.

All in all, a great 2 days for cheese!
