The New Cheese on the Block
We are excited to announce a few new arrivals to Bianchini’s Cheese department from Blakesville Creamery. Located in Port Washington, Wisconsin, Blakesville Creamery began their goat cheese production just a few years ago in the summer of 2020. Originally the dairy was called Lake Breeze (now the name for one their cheeses), it was renamed Blakesville Creamery, to honor the village that was located on the land prior to the dairy. Blakesville is a farmstead creamery, meaning the cheese is made by hand on the same farm that the animals are raised and where the milk is collected. This process preserves the purity, quality, flavor, and freshness of the milk. Stop by our cheese department to find Blakesville Creamery Fresh Chèvre, Lake Breeze, and Lake Effect.
Fresh Chèvre has a bright, clean flavor and is remarkably spreadable. Fantastic when spread on crostini, with fresh herbs on bruschetta, atop pizzas and pastas, stirred with fresh berries for dessert, or simply enjoy with crackers. Swap it for cream cheese on your next bagel for a delightful burst of fresh cream flavor.
Lake Breeze is a soft-ripened goat cheese with a geotrichum rind, meaning the rind is lightly colored with a distinctive wrinkly texture. Lake Breeze is described as bright and citrusy with a hint of saline and a touch of earthy aroma. Wonderful when paired with a salad, especially one that is warmed, or add a slice to a pizza fresh out of the oven and let the cheese melt into a pool of semi-melted lusciousness.
Lake Effect is also a soft-ripened goat cheese but with a bloomy rind, meaning the rind is soft and marshmallow-like with a snowy white color. The texture is fudgy when young, becoming soft and gooey as the creamline forms from the rind toward the center. Lake Effect is described as buttery with noticeable mushroom notes, and a woody aroma, like walking through a forest. Fantastic on a toasted baguette or on a cheese tray for hors d’oeuvres.

Cheese with Altitude
Park City Creamery combines Belgian cheese-making techniques with the Utah terroir. Fromager Corinne Zinn has created a line of European-style artisan cheeses sourced from cow and goat milk from local Utah dairy farms. Each cheese is carefully crafted in small batches, allowing each cheese’s natural flavors shine. What sets Park City Creamery cheeses apart from many others is their unique floral and mountain fresh notes, which can only be found at high altitudes in Utah. Each Park City Creamery artisan cheese is named after a local ski slope in Utah, making the cheese not only personal but wholly unique to the state.

2) Best Golden Cart Wild Card: Duke’s Mayonnaise
When it comes to delectable condiments, Duke’s is in a league of its own. Around 1917, Eugenia Duke began making sandwiches at home with her own original mayonnaise recipe and began selling them to soldiers stationed at Fort Sevier in Greenville, South Carolina. Word of mouth quickly spread, and the popularity of her sandwiches grew just as fast. Within three years, Eugenia expanded her sandwich business to local drugstores and grocers. Then shifted the focus solely to bottling Duke’s mayonnaise just three years later. Duke’s gets its signature flavor by using a higher percentage of egg yolks, a touch of paprika and a wisp of vinegar, delivering Duke’s famous twang. The extra egg yolks create a thicker, richer, and creamier mayo that has an almost custard-like texture. Enjoy Duke’s with your next sandwich, egg salad, homestyle biscuits, deviled eggs, or savory dip.
