Happy friday - say cheese! -

Yes darlings.
It's FRIDAY.

So today is a no recipe recipe.

All you will need for today is : one (or two) bottles of wine, a gorgeous cheese, a nice artisan style crusty bread, AND your favorite person(s) in the world to share and enjoy this beauties with you.

These days I've been loving Sierra da Estrela, known as the ?King of Portuguese Cheese", a white cheese made of sheep's milk, crafted entirely by hand!!!....even the curds (isn't that amazing?).

Cheese makers and experts define this cheese as "... a smooth and almost spreadable cheese with an unmistakable aroma and a mildly herbaceous flavor; with a clean and sweet finish..". Wine experts recommend to pair it with spicier reds as Pinot Noir, Tempranillo or Syrah.


Yours truly highly recommends you to eat this slightly warm, by previously putting in a hot (but not too hot) oven for just a couple of minutes until the interior of the cheese has become gooey.

In winter I enjoy this cheese with a red wine or a nice Porto but in summer I prefer to enjoy it with a glass of Vinho Verde; match made in heaven.

No crusty bread at hand?. How about a really good nut and seed biscotti recipe?. Try this one, is my all time favorite.
btw, how about some gluten free graham crackers ? yes darlings. GLUTEN FREE (thank you Shauna!).

Oh, and check this: my girlfriend Jo, her gordo and their tete de moine affair.
