Farm To Philly :: Eat Local!

Bababloo

Sunday, January 13, 2008

If you saw this cheese in your refrigerator, you’d probably make a face and toss it. And you would be missing out! This is another lovely cheese from Valley Shepherd Creamery in New Jersey - what they call Bababloo.

Bababloo is a mixed milk (sheep and cow) blue cheese that is cave-aged from ninety days to six months. I generally don’t love blue cheeses, but I really love this one - it tastes like the raw milk cheddar available from the Farm Fresh Foodstand in Reading Terminal with blue cheese mixed in. It’s salty and creamy, with a really great blue taste.

This is a stellar snacking cheese! The block in the photo lasted about 15 minutes in my house. It is fantastic with pears.

Support a local farmer, crave the freshest produce, worry about what's in or on your food - whatever your reason for eating locally grown and produced food in the Philadelphia area, Farm to Philly is probably writing about it. We're focused on where to find it, how to grow it, and what to do with it!
