Redwood Hill Farm, makers of an entire line of goat's milk products, including their award-winning yogurt, chevre, and soft-ripened cheeses, has come out with a new package for their chevre. It's a new look but more importantly, it now has a foil seal inside to extend the cheese's shelf life. They also debuted a traditional feta in brine that has a marvelous texture and flavor perfect for all sorts of feta uses, such as on salads, as toppings, and as fillings.

Best Cheese Corporation highlighted their Hollandse Chevre, which is handmade from 100-percent goat's milk. Its semi-hard texture makes it more versatile than most chevres and the rich, nutty flavor resembles that of a classic Dutch Gouda. An excellent melting cheese for pizza or grilled sandwiches, it is also perfect with fresh fruit or shredded on salads or an omelet.

Champignon was receiving lots of interest in their imported Bavarian Camembert and Brie cheeses that are vacuum packed in tins. Perfect for picnics, between-meal snacks, or for entertaining friends, both are also classic dessert cheeses and go well with full-bodied white wines or elegant reds. For more information, call 201-871-7211.

The Mozzarella Company from Dallas was on hand to showcase their newest creation, Blanca Bianca, a white raw-milk cheese that is rubbed with white wine and aged from two to three months. A stunning cheese, it is very creamy and rich with a fresh flavor. Call them at 800-798-2954, or send e-mail to info@mozzco.com.

34° Foods With Latitude introduced an exciting line of cheeses from Australia and New Zealand. Their C Squared (Cooked Curd) Cheese is made in the traditional wooden hoops and was delicious. Tom (a play on Tomme) is a simple, rustic cheese, with great depths of flavor and finesse. Barney Blue (both words are slang for "a fight" down under) is rich and creamy with deep blue overtones. Oen is wrapped in grape leaves that are to be consumed right along with the cheese. Also new was a Marinated Feta crafted by Meredith Dairy in Victoria, Australia, that includes a blend of olive and canola oil, fresh thyme, whole peppercorns, and garlic.
