here at Antonelli's tea shop Austin
favorite cheese shop I'm gonna go inside
and get some tips on making a cheese
board and some suggestions for French
and British style cheeses I know that
they'll have great answers Hey hi
welcome it
good how's it go today awesome so some
nibbles do you want to stick with just
French cheeses or also French inspired
okay yeah
do you want to just taste with me yeah
okay
and I wanted to give you a taste of this
chef door so chef door is a French
cheese
it means golden goat and people always
say should I eat the rind or not
sometimes on a brie I do or don't I
taste it I always taste it and it either
taste great to me at the time with what
I'm drinking or maybe it doesn't it's
off-putting to me this ride is when I
always love to eat so I would say don't
ignore it especially with any bubbles
but you could even have you know Italian
sodas you have fizzy water but the
reason why the effervescence of bubbles
just lifts all those fats off your
tongue and makes that perfect pairing
for you it's just a gorgeous little
cheese all right so then our case goes
into semi soft firm and hard for a
French party I think you have to go with
Comte it's my husband's favorite cheese
although we always never say we have a
favorite because we like them all we
don't want anybody to get their feelings
hurt they're known for being kind of
savory like onion and beef broth
sometimes eggy sometimes you get that
wild flower in it sometimes I use
younger days and Greer's as cooking
cheese's and then the more aged ones
like this one aged by myself at eat are
great on a cheese board so then if we
did the chef door which was the little
goat's milk cheese and a younger one
great with bubbles then if you did your
comb day which actually goes really well
with
red and white wines if you were people
are drinking various things they're not
all on pebbles and that's your cows no
cheese you have to do sheep you don't
have to but I like a variety on a cheese
plate and Francis certainly known for
its real core so rook four is a sheep's
milk blue this is one of the smaller
producers this is Gabriele cool a vote
for and sheep's milk is known for being
the richest it has the highest fat
content so it's known for like a rich
nuttiness to it we get really creative
with our parents jar of jam that you
were given one Christmas and that you
just haven't done anything with because
you're always like what am I gonna do
with it and it's special my friend gave
it to me this is a perfect time to pull
it out and pair it with things and see
how it goes I really like to do savory
preserves too so kind of like a mommy
note is fun to play with but when we do
cheese pairing is I do the same thing
that you pair when you're doing anything
so I mean they're complementing like
flavors so like something nutty with
something Betty so putting nuts
alongside this cold day would be great
or I like to pair of sweet and salty
solo contrasting flavors so a honey with
the row four would be absolutely amazing
people are split between crackers or
bread
I actually just eat my cheese straight
up but my my husband is a bread fanatic
all the way so if fresh-baked bread is
available to you I would always do a
fresh baguette
that was so much fun I've got my cheese
coming to room temperature
got my quiches cooling I've got my
champagne chilling all that's left is to
toss my salad and change my clothes and
then it's party time oh yes it's party
time
you
