WINE AND CHEESE PAIRING:
As easy as clicking |
|
We all have our favourite cheeses, wines and recipes, but sometimes it's hard to decide which wines match best with a specific food flavour.
Good news: match-making just got easier, with a new addition to our Balderson website. Simply visit our Wine & Cheese Pairing section, and then click on Natalie Maclean's "Wine & Food Matcher."
Natalie is one of Canada's most popular and respected wine writers, as well as a four-time James Beard Journalist Award winner. And now that expertise is available to you at our new link. Having a pizza? Natalie suggests a Barbarecso. Braised Lamb on the menu? Let her recommend a Malbec.
It's wine expertise at the click of a mouse. |

CHEDDAR ON THE GO
The only thing better than the taste of Balderson Two Year Cheddar, is having it whenever and wherever you like.
That's why Balderson now offers
convenient 21g snack portions with that great Royal Canadian taste. These mini packs are ideal for adding to a school or office lunch, or as a special treat or energy boost between meals.
Or as a nibble on the way to work. Recently over 17,000 commuters sampled our new snack packs at various Go Transit stations in the Toronto area - part of a campaign by the Dairy Farmers of Canada to bring great Canadian cheese to Canadian consumers.
After all, what better way to test-drive our on-the-go snack than on the Go?
Look for them in most supermarket deli sections, and choose from either a 6 or 20-piece net bag. |

Something Old.
Something New.
Our popular Double Smoked Cheddar has changed. But don't worry: it still got the same great Smokey cheddar flavour. Only the package design and size are different: it's now available at most leading supermarket delis in a smaller, more convenient 250g size.
The special flavour of our Double Smoked Cheddar comes from - surprise - smoking it twice: four hours in a natural wood smoke, a cooling period to seal in the cheese flavour and creaminess, then another four hours of smoking. Cheese-lovers prize it as a snack, sliced in a sandwich, shredded for pizza or mixed into hamburger for an extra special burger or meatloaf.
And here's another way to enjoy that unique flavour: |

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Combine flour and baking powder. Cut in butter, with pastry blender or 2 knives, until about the size of small peas (food processor may be used for this step). Stir in ham and cheeses. Make a well in centre of flour mixture and add milk. Stir with fork just until flour is moistened.
Turn dough onto lightly floured board and knead gently 8-10 times. Pat or roll dough to ½-inch (2 cm) thickness. Cut dough with 2-inch (5 cm) round cookie cutter. Place on parchment paper-lined baking sheet (or ungreased baking sheet). Sprinkle tops of biscuits with additional shredded Smoked Cheddar cheese for a crunchy golden crust, if desired.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm, with butter, if desired. Biscuits may be frozen and reheated. Makes 15-18 biscuits. |
