Cheese of the Month:
Blueberry WindsorDale
The Vermont Farmstead Cheese Company in South Woodstock, Vermont is the producer of award winning unique and excellent cheeses. With a hint of tart apple, a honeyed aftertaste and a firm, flaky texture, WindsorDale (made with raw whole milk) is the perfect cheese to add sweet bursts of luscious fruit. Whole wild blueberries are added so their mellow sweetness will surprise you again and again. A wheat, sesame, or even a pumpkin flavored cracker made ideal accompaniments. WindosrDale cheese pairs extremely well with a Gewurztraminer or chardonnay.

Recipe of the Month
Hot Blueberry WindsorDale Dip with Toasty Bread
Ingredients
1 (8 ounce) block of cream cheese softened
8 ounces Vermont Farmstead Blueberry WindsorDale, freshly grated
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
1 heaping cup of fresh blueberries
1 loaf of French bread, sliced
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
Preparation
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place two oven racks on the middle and lower level. Slice bread and place on a baking sheet, drizzling it with olive oil.
In a bowl, mix cream cheese with grated Blueberry WindsorDale and nutmeg. Fold in blueberries. Place in an oven-safe dish, then set on the top oven rack. Bake for 30 – 35 minutes, or until cheese is hot, golden and bubbly, and blueberries are bursting. At the 20 minute mark, place baking sheet with bread on the lower rack to toast, checking and tossing every 4 – 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
