Barkanit cheeses at Butcherie

Goodness, I’ve been quite a blog slacker, and not for lack of quality material. Anyhow, I’m trying to get back into the swing of things, especially now that my wife has a beautiful new iBook G4 laptop with which I can compose my posts, and from any room in the apartment, no less.

Well, last Friday, while visiting the Butcherie (see that La Briute post), I noticed they’re now carrying Barkanit cheese from Israel. I had a chance to try two Barkanit varieties — Tavor and Shahat — several weeks ago by ordering from iGourmet.com (see link at right).

Both are made from a blend of goat’s milk and sheep’s milk, and are real treats — definitely more intense than the typical Brie/Camembert types that are commonly available.

Buy a couple cheeses, a bottle of crisp white wine, some water crackers, and maybe a bunch of grapes… then turn a warm summer evening into a fine culinary experience — and support Israel while you’re at it.

I have alrecently seen these cheese at the Whole Food’s Market in Brighton. They carry the Tilsit, Tavor, and the California Goat.

I wholesale the Barkanit line and other kosher cheeses to Whole Foods, The Butcherie, etc.

I’ll be making a trip up to Boston area next week - hopefully with kosher for Passover Barkanit product. Keep an eye out for it.

These cheeses are available at koshergourmetmart.com
