I’m changing my answer. Dwarves love inlays and filigree and intricately detailed handiwork. Dwarf bread is focaccia.

It’s hard to get a good picture of Blaine because he reaches for your hand as soon as you get close enough.

This 91 lb. wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano started aging in Italy in Aug. 2023. Today, two years and 5000 miles later, I got to crack it open.

The other type is bloomy rinds. Brie, Camembert, and other cheeses with a white fuzzy rind that grows on the outside of the cheese. These are usually made with Penicillium camemberti.

There are two types of cheeses that use mold in the cheesemaking process. The most obvious is the Blue family: Blue, Gorgonzola, Roquefort, and other with blue or green mold in the paste of the cheese. That mold is usually Penicillium roqueforti or Pencillium glaucum.

On the Wire: 18-Month Gouda

Those little white crystals in the cheese are called cheese crystals. They’re a natural build-up of calcium lactate that grow as the cheese ages. The older the cheese, the larger the crystals, the bigger the crunch.

Now Cutting: Robusto

A Dutch cheese that combines Gouda and Parmesan. Aged less than a year so it has the creamy texture of a young Gouda but a fantastic nutty flavor usually found in aged Goudas. The best of both worlds. One of my favorite snacking cheeses.

He rushes in towards the center, realizes no one is blocking him, and just then sort of hangs out at the two yard line until it’s too late to be of use
