A little bit of this, a bit of that, add up to WOW!

Wednesday evening Antje and her sister, Nel, invited me over to share a bottle of wine. It was a last minute gathering and we threw together an impromptu platter of leftovers. I brought along what I had left of a really great Humboldt Fog® aged goat cheese, sliced kielbasa, and some raspberry jam. Antje cut some spinach naan she had purchased at Trader Joe’s, and had some black olive tapenade she had made, leftover from some other gathering.

We spread the creamy Humboldt Fog on the naan with the tapenade … a trio made in heaven! The raspberry jam was a wild-hair choice, but the sweet complemented the goat cheese when combined on the naan flat bread.

Oh baby, it was a feast! A nice, crisp Sauvignon Blanc. WOW. No fuss, no muss; all great tasting! Only topped by the great conversation enjoyed that evening.

Thanks, Antje!

I purchased the Humboldt Fog at The Market at Birch Bay here in Washington. Check out your local supermarket or cheesemonger. The taste sensation will be well-worth the search.

While on the subject of goat cheese, I just visited Tim and Grace Lukens at their Grace Harbor Goat Farm in Custer, WA. Look for upcoming article and photographs.

Our signature offering, Humboldt Fog® is an elegant, soft, surface ripened cheese. The texture is creamy and luscious with a subtle tangy flavor.
