After the George Washington portrait lecture at the Portrait Gallery we went to the nearby farmer’s market where Chapel’s Country Creamery had a stand. We got these:
Chapelle Cave Aged Cheese – This young moist cave aged cheese has a bloomy white rind which has rich mushroomy flavor that compliments the creamy interior. Chapelle drains naturely overnight. Then is placed in a cave for two months. Great with a wine and cheese platter or display at a party.
Cave Aged Cheddar – Chapel’s Country Creamery cave aged cheddar cheese has been aged a minimum of 8 months or longer to ensure optimum flavor. This superior cheddar cheese has just the right sharpness for any use.
Mary & Angela also bought some bastard cheeses (cheeses mixed with things) at the Eastern Market: one had sage, and the other had cheddar and stilton in layers. Bowers Fancy Dairy Products “Cheese from All Parts of the World!” let us try others, too — one was pink (red wine) and another with chives (would have been good on burgers).
