Boschetto al Tartufo

Truffle.Cheese. 
A combination of cows and sheeps milk, incorporated with truffles.  Serve with minimal crackers / bread (the pictured wafers are perfect as they don't distract from the aromatic impact of the cheese with it's perfect pair: honey.)  If you love truffles you cannot miss out on this cheese.

Goat Cheese, Heirloom Tomato + Basil Crostini

Another easy and beautiful crostini perfect for summer.  If you're not a goat cheese fan I'd use burrata or a really good buffalo mozzarella.

Sliced baguette.  Goat cheese.  Heirloom Tomatoes.  Basil.  Olive Oil.  Sea Salt.  
Rinse.  Repeat.

Verdant Grass Fed Blue

Smooth, very pungent and surprisingly made in the USA.  It's unique flavor is attributed to the rich pasture grazing in Minnesota and sandstone-cave aging process.   Love this blue.

Zamorano

Very similar to Manchego, this Spanish sheep's milk cheese has a nutty, savory flavor that pairs great with a nice cured meat and a smooth Malbec. 

After a stressful day at work: priceless.
