Cheese

Cheese is a food made from coagulated milk, usually the milk of cows, buffalo, goats, or sheep. It sounds revolting, but comes in different strengths and flavours and typically a cheese will be found to suit any taste.

Cheese is not always vegetarian unless the coagulation occurs without animal products (typically animal rennet) and can be produced with a substitute (e.g. acetic acid or vinegar) to cause the coagulation creating "curds and whey" ... the cheese base and a liquid by-product.[

Some cheeses also have moulds, either on the outer rind (similar to a fruit peel) or throughout .. these are often introduced manually by injection, although some of the more famous cheeses are produced in environments that introduce the moulds (e.g. Roquefort).

Hundreds of types of cheese are available and their different styles, textures and flavors depend on the origin of the milk (including the animal's diet);also whether it has been pasteurized, butterfat content, the species of bacteria and mould, and the processing including the length of aging.

Herbs, spices, or wood smoke may be used as flavoring agents. The yellow to red color of many cheeses is a result of adding annatto and is an unnatural colouring.

An interesting, but recent development is that wedding cake is being displaced by more savoury palates in favour of cheese tiers rather than wedding cake tiers.

	Gonzalez Byass - Tio Pepe 75cl Bottle Wine SpiritsandTobacco A Fino (dry) sherry. Pale gold. Crisp, fresh, clean, very dry and fragrant. Pungent, distinctive 'flor' aroma. The estimated period of ageing is some 5 years. All the grapes are from vineyards owned by Gonzalez Byass in the 'Jerez Superior' zone. As with all wine elaborated from white grapes, it is best consumed within a year. Serve chilled. Optimum temperature 4/10 degrees C. Serve in a small tulip shaped glass to half the capacity, to full appreciate its delicate aroma. Accompanies any type of aperitif (olives, cheese, nuts, etc.) and goes especially well with shellfish or seafood. It is excelent with ice or as a long drink with tonic. One may say that Tio Pepe Fino came into being for the first time on our 601 hectares of 'albariza' (lime earth) vineyards located on the outskirts of the city, on the exceptional 'pagos' (plots) of the Jerez Superior area. About the first week in September, the Palomino strain used to make sherry is ready to be hand picked and placed in 15 kg boxes intended to prevent breakage of the grapes during transport which would set off uncontrolled fermentation, all of these harvesting tasks last about 20 days, during which the reception and vinification plant at 'Las Copas', with capacity to receive one million kilos of grapes per day, swarms with activity. Once in the press, the grape is pressed several times, but only the first ones, that is to say, the softest, most delicate and least intense, will give the 'Yema Must' used to prepare Tio Pepe. Then fermentation begins in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, through which the must will become wine of 12 degree to 13 degree alcohol content. After racking (separation of the sediments, or lees, in the wine), the classification operation is performed by organoleptic analysis; their overseer tastes the wines and an analysis is performed at the laboratory to determine which wines will become finos and which will become olorosos. Those that pass the strict examination we require for our fino Tio Pepe will be fortified by adding wine spirits up to 15 degrees, thus obtaining 'sobretablas Fino', which will lie in American oak casks for a year. The rest of the must will be fortified up to 18 degrees, thus becoming 'sobretablas oloroso'. A year later, a second classification is performed to decide which way these wines will go, the finos remaining at 15 degrees and the olorosos at 18 degrees. That is when the traditional Jerez process of 'Solera y Criaderas' aging begins. Review this product + Add to my saved list	Review this store TheDrinkShop 228-335	£11.10	Visit Store »

	Henriques And Henriques - Medium Rich 3 Year Old 75cl Bottle Wine SpiritsandTobacco A medium dark, rich and fruity wine, lighter than Full Rich and Malmsey or Port, but full-bodied and very fragrant. This is a 'bual-style' of wine. Madeira should be cellared upright. Delicious as a dessert wine and with fruits such as peaches, pineapple or fruit salads, strawberries and raspberries. Also compliments chocolate and blue cheeses. Madeira starts life as fermenting must and is then fortified, either to arrest fermentation for a Malmsey or a Bual, or after fermenting out, in the case of Sercial or a Verdelho (to a minimum of 17% alcohol) and undergoes its own very special maturation process. Fermentation takes place at different stages according to the grape variety used. Grapes are picked from mid-August up to the end of October and the special 'estufagem' of the wines begins in January. The Estufa process: The unique character of Madeira was discovered in the 15th Century, when Madeira wines were used as victuals for ship's companies, stored in the holds of caravels. The blowsy heat of the ship's hold was found to have dramatically improved the wines, making them richer and more complex, as well as proving them to be the most stable in heat. This also demonstrated the great ageing potential that they had. The wines are estufa'd usually for 3 months in termperatures rising to 45 degrees C before being allowed to cool. Maturation then starts in wooden casks, which need not be topped up. The wines are not bottled until they are at least 3 years old. Invented in 1938 by Peter Cossart, father of John Cossart, Monte Seco was the first wine he made on his own at the age of 19. It was his answer in terms of Madeira to Fino and Manzanilla.
