In November 2020 restaurants were shuttered due to Covid-19.  It has taken almost a full year but we are so thrilled to welcome back our restaurant customers with no in-door dining restrictions.  We are hopeful that we will be able to celebrate the 2021 holiday season with friends, family and restaurants! Restaurants are back just in time to offer their annual game season menus.  La Ferme is well stocked with Bison, Venison, Duck, Ostrich, Pheasant, Squab and even Kangaroo.  Start planning your game menus now!

Creekside Pheasantry

In October we welcomed back Creekside Pheasantry to our selection of game birds for a new growing season.  Creekside Pheasanty, located in Millbank, Ontario has been raising pheasants for both hunting and farm-to-table since 2005.  They raise Kansas Blue Blacks for hunting and the Mongolian Ring Neck for culinary pleasures.  Pheasants are very flighty birds so Creekside has a large outdoor netted area once the birds are able to go outside, along with a  6,000 square foot brooding area for the chicks. The growing season runs from October through January, so if you want fresh birds, fall is the time to get them.

The fully grown pheasants usually weigh approximately 2.5 lbs so they are very manageable to cook with.  Pheasants produce meat that is lean and white, somewhat like chickens but the meat is a bit tougher with a more gamey flavour.

Roasting a whole bird is a great option in the late fall while the birds are younger and the meat is more tender.  Pheasants are very low in fat so it is best to roast low and slow.  We recommend brining the birds to help maintain moisture and add depth of flavour to the cooking process.  You can use turkey or chicken recipes to get you started with cooking pheasant as well.  Another popular option is the cook the breasts only, also known as supremes.  The pheasant supremes are boneless breasts with the wing attached.

Rock Star

Introducing Rock Star, Snowdonia’s newest Cheddar that is cave aged. Aptly named due to its 18 month maturation in a former Slate mine located in a valley surrounded by the mountains of Snowdonia national Park. Rock Star is unique in the Snowdonia cheddar lineup because it is their first vintage aged in a cave. According to the Snowdonia team, the natural caverns within the Welsh slate mine create the perfect conditions for aging a vintage Cheddar.

Rock Star is rich and complex in flavour. First bites introduce notable sweet caramel moments mixed with a savoury tang and a long finish. As with most great aged cheddars, the occasional crunchy salt crystal adds texture to the smooth dense consistency of Rock Star. Encased with a cobalt blue wax to celebrate the historic rocks from the caves it is aged in, everything about Rock Star is designed with a purpose. 

Sold in two sizes: retail boxes of 6 200g truckles, or wholesale 2Kg wheels

Berni Charcutier

Berni Charcutier is a French family run business specializing in quality charcuterie. The founder was of Italian descent so many of the products are crafted after tradtional Italian and Spanish recipes.  Berni is well known in France for its entries into the Guiness World Record book for producing the world’s largest Mortdella.  It held the record for some time with a Mortadella weighing in at 2,074 Kilograms, but it has since been surpassed with one weighing in at 2,680 Kilograms.  That is a lot of Mortadella!

We have been selling the Berni Mini Saucisson and Bonbon in a variety of flavours for several years now.  These products are excellent for charcuterie boards and snacking.  The Bonbon are now available in a retail format and are shelf stable so they are great for grab-and-go or checkout purchases.  The retail packs are available in Nature, Pepper and Chorizo varieties.

Berni also produces a variety of chorizo with homage to traditional Spanish practices. The chorizo are 250g and come in sweet or spciy.  This product is also shelf stable and gluten free and will be a very welcome addition to holiday boards, gift boxes and restaurant menus.

Lindsay Bandaged Cheddar

This award winning clothbound goat milk Cheddar from Mariposa Dairy / Lenberg Farms is handcrafted in small batches Lindsay, Ontario (part of Mariposa County). Mariposa Dairy uses the premium milk from their own goat farm (Lenberg Farms), as well as some other local farms who share their values and insistence on top quality.

The large, 20 kilogram wheels are wrapped in cheesecloth and placed on wooden planks to age for 12 months. The resulting cheese is firm and sharp, perfectly creamy and buttery, with the slight tang of goat’s milk, and a big sweet finish.

This month, the 5 Kg quarter wheels of Lindsay Cheddar are on sale at La Ferme. Reach out to your sales representative to learn more.

New beginnings and new traditions

September is the start of the new school year, the Jewish New Year, and for many, new beginnings.  As we continue to deal with COVID-19 for a second September it is easy to fall down the rabbit hole of despair.  Alternatively, we can view this September as a time to embrace our new reality and adjust our outlook on how we will conduct our businesses and lifestyles.

For those who celebrate the Jewish new year, chicken soup with matzah balls is a menu staple.  Many families are still not gathering together indoors for meals, so serving chicken soup presents some challenges.  Thanks to a slight misinterpretation of a sign at a chip truck this summer between “fried Mozza balls” and “fried Matzah balls”, the opportunity for creativity presented itself.  A quick Google search actually came up empty when looking for a Fried Matzah Ball recipe, so after some thought and trial and error – voila – Fried Matzah Balls.  The secret is to make the matzah balls a day ahead (floaters or sinkers work equally well!) so they don’t fall apart when fried.  Since the matzah balls are not going into soup, there are opportunities for additional seasoning – the spicy ones were a big hit around the campfire this summer!

Think outside the box this fall, create new traditions and embrace the COVID challenges with a positive attitude.  It is much better than the alternative.

 

Let’s Talk Sheep

Have you tried sheep’s milk cheese yet? 

It’s all in a name!  Most people know the general French term for sheep as “mouton,” but you might notice that many sheep milk cheeses are prefixed with “brebis,” (note our delicious Brebirousse d’Argental, and Brebicet). This is due to the fact that the French name for Sheep has both a masculine and a feminine noun. Brebis is the feminine noun for an adult female sheep – also referred to as an Ewe. Since it is the Ewe that produces the milk, it is only fitting that Brebis be used for naming products rather than Mouton. 

Popular cheeses that you may not have known are sheep’s milk:

• Manchego – (Spain)
• Roquefort – (France)
• Pecorino – (Italy)
• P’tit Basque – (France)
• Etorki – (France)

As you can tell, sheep’s milk cheese is revered around Europe. Did you know that sheep’s milk has more lactose, more milk solids, and double the amount of butterfat than that of a typical Holstein dairy cow? Higher fat content makes for a creamier product, but interestingly, it is often found that sheep’s milk cheeses have a softer flavour profile in comparison to the grassy, vegetal flavours found in goat’s milk cheeses. 

In North America, we tend to think of cows at the centre of dairy farming and while that’s true on this side of the pond, other parts of the world focus on sheep and goats. While Canada has large swaths of flat grassland, many parts of the world areas are rocky or just simply smaller, and so farmers, in order to maximize the yield from their land have raised sheep and goats. As we mentioned last month, cheesemaking practices are often regionally introduced due to the availability of raw materials. Manchego cheese for example, originates from the Spanish central region of La Mancha, a region dotted with mountain ranges unfit for cows to properly graze. Where there’s a will, there’s a way! Hence cheese products from all kinds of milk. Try some brebis cheese this month and dig in!

General tasting notes for sheep’s milk cheese are: mild, buttery, rich, and creamy.

Glengarry Cheese

You may know Glengarry Fine Cheese for their delicious cheeses like Celtic Blue, Fleur en Lait, or Lankaaster (all on special this month at La Ferme) but what you might not know is that for years they have been helping cheesemakers across the country find all the tools, coagulants, cultures and moulds necessary to make all kinds of cheese through their alter-ego, Glengarry Cheesemaking.

Glengarry has been producing amazing artisanal cheese with milk from neighbouring farms in South Glengarry Township (not too far from Cornwall) on the shores of the St. Lawrence River for over 20 years. Every batch of cheese is made with the utmost care and expertise, and aged in on-site European designed aging rooms. The Lankaaster expresses their Dutch roots, utilizing a culture indicative of farm-based cheesemaking practices in Holland in the early 1900s. It’s unique loaf-shape allows it to be eaten directly on bread as the Dutch farmers did. There’s a reason this cheese rose to prominence!

Lankaaster

The Lankaaster is a firm Dutch style cheese with a slightly open texture. The cheese is shaped as a loaf or a wheel to express the fact that it is meant to be sliced and eaten directly on bread as the Dutch farmers do. It has a unique profile that is given by the specific starter culture we use and makes it typical of cheeses made on Dutch farms earlier in the century.

Fleur en Lait

The Fleur-en-Lait is related to the French St-Paulin. It is a semi-soft cheese, with a thin bright orange washed rind. Its rind pungency envelops the delicate but robust sweet and fruity flavored interior.

Celtic Blue

The Celtic Blue is a soft creamy blue cheese, with delicate blue veining and a limestone coloured natural rind which is developed by specific ripening cultures. The typical blue taste is mild and not aggressive and is softened by a nice buttery aroma.

What’s In A Name?

Have you ever thought about what inspires cheese makers to name their cheese?  The two most common factors are the region and the kind of milk used, but the third influencing factor is inspiration!

Most traditional cheeses are named for the region in which they are produced, the main practice for hundreds of years. In some instances the regional name is protected, such as Parmigiano-Reggiano (named for Italian regions of Reggio Emilia and Parma and protected since the mid 1950s).

Terroir influences flavour and texture due to the available vegetation and environment in each region. Ultimately region is at the heart of cheese making as these qualities inspire the practices of cheesemakers, creating generational recipes that continue to be handed down. For example: Sheep’s and Goat’s milk cheese are predominantly produced in smaller, rockier terrain areas where cows don’t  have the space and grass to flourish.

For more modern cheeses, cheesemakers have looked to other inspirations. One of our favourite examples of this is with the popular Triple Cream cheese, Brillat Savarin.  Brillat Savarin was a lawyer and a politician in the 1700s, but it was Brillat Savarin’s love for food and the enjoyment of eating that brings him to our Blog this month. Savarin turned his interests and observations on the act of dining into a piece of work called The Physiology of Taste. This work of literature was the first of its kind, detailing “the pleasures of the table,” of which he notably attempted to highlight as a form of science in his work.  Brillat Savarin’s love for the dining experience is surely what inspired French cheesemakers to name the indulgent triple cream cheese after him!

Another beloved cheese from our fridge is the Riopelle de l’Isle. A Quebec bloomy rind cheese named after Quebec Painter and sculptor, Jean-Paul Riopelle. You can find one of his paintings on the label of every wheel of this cheese.

Happy Canada Day.  We have made it to July, the month of warm weather, cottage visits, and perhaps even some travel. Restaurants are starting to serve customers and we are all so excited to be sharing meals with our friends and families.  We are all hopeful that life will return to “normal”, whatever that will mean in the future.

The Great Canadian Cheddar

Cheddar Cheese originates from the town of Cheddar, in Somerset, England but if you ask Canadians about the history of Cheddar, many will try to claim bragging rights for Canada.  This may be due to the fact that over 30% of cheese eaten in Canada is of the Cheddar variety or because there are over 30 Cheddar cheese producers throughout the country.  According to Statistics Canada, it was estimated that approximately 160,000 metric tons of Cheddar cheese were produced in Canada in 2020.  That is a lot of Cheddar cheese!

In order for cheese to be classified as “Cheddar”, it must go through the “Cheddaring” process.  To make Cheddar the curds are cut up and pressed together into slabs. The weight of stacking the slabs of curds on top of one another presses out even more moisture. Then the slabs of curds are cut up again, pressed into slabs again and stacked again. This is cheddaring. The process continues until so much whey is expelled that after aging, the cheese will have a crumbly, layered, dense texture.

Cheddar comes in a variety of forms including bandage-wrapped, waxed, flavoured and aged.  At La Ferme we sell both Cow and Goat cheddars from a variety of artisanal producers – last count we had cheddars from 8 different Canadian suppliers, plus numerous options for English and Scottish cheddars as well.  How do you pick?  Tasting is the best way.  We surveyed some of our staff for their favourite cheddar, and guess what, 5 different Canadian Cheddars received votes!

2 Year Cheddar from Fromagerie de l’Île-aux-Grues,  Avonlea Clothbound Cheddar from Cows Creamery, Lindsay Bandaged goat Cheddar from Lenberg Farms, 3-year Old from Cows Creamery Cheddar, and Gédéon from Fromagerie Medard.

Seed to Sausage

Seed to Sausage is a thriving small business producing hand crafted cured meats and charcuterie.  Mike McKenzie learned the trade while travelling through Europe and he began his business in Sharbot Lake, Ontario in 2011.  The meats used to produce the charcuterie are sourced from local farmers and the animals are raised in an ethical way. The company can even trace the sausage back to the seed that was used in the animals’ feed, hence the company’s name!

La Ferme was been working together with Seed to Sausage since the company’s inception.  Far and away our biggest sellers are the naturally fermented dry cured Chorizo and Saucisson Sec along with the bacon.  Their offering has expanded over the years to include many varieties of cured meats and sausages.  If you are looking for an authentically smoked meat sandwich, look no further than Seed to Sausage’s Montreal Smoked Meat.  You will not be disappointed.

New at LFBR: Stonetown Artisan Cheese

To celebrate Canada Day, we are thrilled to be adding Stonetown Artisan Cheese to La Ferme’s stable of partners. Yolanda and Hans Weber are dairy farmers and cheesemakers based in St. Marys, Ontario. Stonetown produces high-quality unpasteurized Alpine-style cheeses right in our backyard.

Here’s their story straight from the source:

With our three children in tow, we immigrated to Canada in 1996 to begin a new life in St. Marys, Ontario where we could start our own dairy farm. Having previously worked in the Swiss Alps, it was always our dream to produce delicious, high quality cheese reminiscent of the renowned Swiss Mountains and made from our own milk. With a profound commitment to creating cheese of the highest quality and the support of our family along with Ramon Eberle, a Master Cheese Maker from Switzerland, our humble dream became a reality.

Our commitment to produce high quality cheese is best reflected in the care we give to our Holstein cows. They live in a clean and comfortable free stall barn, sleep year round on beach sand and enjoy feed of the best quality and even have their own spa like back scratcher!

It’s hard to pick just one, but Stonetown’s Grand Trunk, the 2016 and 2017 Winner at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, and the 2018 Winner at the British Empire Cheese Competition, is a Gruyere-style cheese with a bold, nutty flavour, that you need to try! The Homecoming is creamy and complex, an incredible version of authentic Swiss Tilsit. Capri Ella goat cheese has a distinctly natural mild earthy flavour, great for snacking or melting, while the washed rind and more aged, Amazing Grey brings more pronounced aromatic and sweeter notes to the party.

Our initial offering will include the following cheeses.

Farmstead Emmental
Homecoming
Wildwood
Grand Trunk
Capri Ella (goat)
Amazing Grey (goat)

New from the Cheese Fridge: Grillou

Grillou is new Halloumi-style cheese from one of our favourite cheesemakers in Quebec, Fromagerie Nouvelle-France. Halloumi is typically made from a blend of milks, most often sheep and goat, but also cow (sometimes all three), depending on the season. Grillou is made with the most traditional combination, a blend of goat and sheep milk, giving it some additional complexity and depth of flavour.

Once grilled, the semi-soft perfectly salted paste becomes soft on the inside and crispy and brown on the outside. You can sear it in a pan, or it’s great to get some grill marks on the BBQ!

Pro tip: If you’re grilling Halloumi on your BBQ, make sure it’s not too hot! While this cheese has a very high melting point, it will melt at a certain temperature (it can vary). If you get your BBQ up to 600 degrees you’ll have a mess on your hands.

The name Grillou is an intentional reference to grilling, but was also a way to describe a tin artisan in some regions of France. This year, Fromagerie Nouvelle-France is celebrating its 10th anniversary, sometimes known as the Tin Anniversary, so the name seemed to perfectly reference traditional French roots of the cheesemaker as well as the process of preparing it.

This month, La Ferme is offering a mixed case on promotion. Each case contains 4 plain, 3 herb, and 3 chili.

Too Much Waste?

Have you thrown away any food over the past week? If so, you are likely joining over 75% of Canadian families that have done so too. At La Ferme, we have made a commitment to better manage and reduce waste in 2021 and we hope that our customers will join us in this initiative. The delicate year that has just passed has reinforced the need to manage this process for economic, social and environmental purposes. The table attached provides some useful insights into where food waste occurs through Canada’s food chain.  We try to operate our business on a just-in-time inventory management system. This requires a very close partnership with the farms and suppliers we work with, as well as a very closely managed transportation and distribution system.  By providing customers with the freshest product possible and maintaining proper temperature control, we are doing our part to ensure that our products are delivered, processed, sold and consumed before spoilage occurs.

Health Canada provides strict guidance for food consumption including best before dates and expiration dates, which are not the same. The best-before date indicates that if the product has been properly handled the unopened product should be of high quality until the specified date. Best-before dates are about food quality and not food safety. Expiration dates are only required on certain foods and after the expiration date, they may not have the same nutritional content as declared on the label.

How can you do your part to reduce waste?  For all sectors the most important priority is to plan conservatively.  Restaurants must choose the correct preservation methods and plan menus that incorporate products in more than one way.  Retailers must focus on conservation techniques and are in the best position to educate consumers on product imperfections and best before dating. Consumers should focus on meal planning, food storage and how to interpret food product dating.

Biobio

Biobio’s parent company, Gattuso, was founded in 1936 by Pasquale Gattuso in Montreal’s Villeray neighbourhood. The company started out importing and representing quality European brands in Canada, and at one time were one of the largest olive processors in the world.

In 2004 they launched Biobio, making cheese with organic milk from Quebec farms and certified by Québec Vrai and Aliments du Québec. With decades of experience working with top imports, Biobio has become a significant brand in Quebec and Canada’s responsible and sustainable agro-food industry.

Biobio produces certified organic versions of many classic cheeses like Cheddar, Gouda, Mozzarella, and Parmesan, but also utilizes their roots, importing some of Europe’s best. Organic Spanish Manchego, Italian Parmigiano-Reggiano, and Greek Feta complement Biobio’s domestic offerings.

The Biobio cheeses are on special at La Ferme for the month of June. Reach out to your sales representative for more information.
