Editorial Product Review: :Cantal is one of the oldest French Cheeses, predating both Roquefort (11th Century) and Livarot (13th Century). In fact, Pliny the Elder mentions Cantal in his Historia Naturalis written in the 1st Century AD. Cantal was originally produced by putting the curd into le Formage, a wooden cylinder, which is believed to be the origin for the French word for cheese. Named after the Cantal Mountains in Auvergne this cheese has been dear to the French throughout history. ...
Editorial Product Review: :Second only to Brazil in area, Argentina is home to endless miles of grazing pastures. Their pasture fed cows produce 5,100 million liters of milk per year! After 50 years of independence, a huge flood of Europeans moved to Argentina due to her open immigration policy. Many Italians came as migrant workers for the harvest season to make their money to return to Italy in the off-season. Other Italians chose to stay. They missed their precious Parmigiano Reggiano, ...

Editorial Product Review: :French Mimolette, also called 'Boule de Lille,' dates back to the reign of Louis XIV, who prohibited the import of Dutch cheeses into France. The residents of Flanders, the northernmost region of France, have strong cultural ties to Holland (many still speak Dutch as their first language today) and dearly loved the banished Dutch specialties. Their alternatives were to either smuggle in the contraband cheeses or make a go at producing their own - with a French twist ...
Editorial Product Review: :The cheese market in Holland is changing rapidly. For years, Holland was known for Gouda and Edam, two simple cheeses that appeal to the masses. But as tastes have moved upscale, the popularity of Gouda and Edam has waned. With almost every cheese plant in Holland geared up for the production of these two cheeses, a gap between supply and demand threatened to put the smaller cheesemakers out of business. While many got bought out by larger competitors, ...

Editorial Product Review: :Manchego is Spain's most famous cheese. Produced in La Mancha in Central Spain, true Manchego is made from 100% sheep's milk. Cheeses from Spain are commonly made from sheep's milk because most of the territory is rocky and dry, unfriendly to cows but suitable to raising goats and sheep. The abundance of wild herbs on Central Spain's grazing lands gives Manchego a special taste and aroma. Its flavor is zesty and exuberant while its texture is firm and ...
Editorial Product Review: :Since the early 1980's, Marion Cahill has developed her range of flavored cheddars. The cheese itself is full-flavored and tangy cheddar that is ever so slightly pungent with a firm texture. It is made from pasteurized cows milk and is considered a 'vegetarian' cheese since its curds and whey are separated with vegetable rennet. Marion has taken her cheeses to new heights by adding a number of different flavors and sealing them in a waxed truckle. Our favorite ...
Usually we're fans of Logitech's gaming mice, but its highest-end G9 Laser Mouse is expensive, overly complex, and lacks the ergonomic thought we've come to expect. If you like to brag about dot-per-inch limits, perhaps the G9's 3,200dpi laser will be enough to sell you, but for the price, we expect the design to match.
