National Cheese Day 2019

Other foods are celebrated so why not cheese?  “Does America have a more versatile food?  Best of all, National Cheese Day happens on June 4. Time to officially celebrate the delightful dairy item we’ve eaten in one form or another since the Roman Empire.”

Unlike other foods, cheese is seldom found by itself on most menus, but it is a key ingredient in so many dishes . . . pasta, pizza, burgers, salads, soups, appetizers, sauces . . . . You get the point! 

I love cheese!  Hardly a day goes by when I don’t enjoy it in one form or another.  To celebrate let me reshare a couple posts from a decade ago.  You’ll get the idea:

Here are a couple National Cheese Day activities recommended by National Today - https://nationaltoday.com/national-cheese-day/

– Try Something Scary!
Find a cheese that scares you a little bit and give it a go — you'll likely be surprised how much you like it. Looking for a suggestion? Give Epoisses de Bourgogne a try, if you can find it. It's got such a pungent aroma that it's been banned from public transportation systems in France!

– Make Your Own!
Making cheese can be a pretty simple process — it just requires a bit of patience! It's always interesting to go "behind the scenes" of our favorite food items, but with cheese in particular, it's pretty incredible seeing all the hidden steps that take place.

– Perhaps a new pairing?
Cheese seems to go with everything! Well, almost. But things get truly magical when you find perfect pairings that bring out different flavors. Have you ever tried figs with brie? They're delicious separate, but they're simply irresistible when brought together.

No matter how you choose to celebrate, get out there today and eat some cheese!
