Cheese for the BBQ

Great cheeses to bring to a barbecue 

FETA and HALLOUMI are fresh cheeses with little flavour to get excited about. However, they are great sponges and easy to pep up using flavoured oils, spices and fresh herbs. Our English versions are made in Somerset by Homewood, a tiny artisan dairy, using ewe's milk. Only Feta made in Greece and Halloumi made in Cyprus can use those names so Hello Ewe is our Halloumi style cheese and Pickled Ewe is the Feta-a-like.

Try baking thick slices of PICKLED EWE in a foil parcel with olive oil, chilli and oregano. Eat as it is or crumble over roast veg and salads. Honey and thyme, lemon oil and mint, chopped fresh tomato, black olives and marjoram are just a few more flavour combinations to experiment with. 

HELLO EWE holds up brilliantly when cooked directly on the grill. Again, flavoured oils and herbs liven up this vegetarian favourite. Try it with slices of grilled aubergine for a filling veggie burger or serve in flatbreads with tzatziki and Greek salad. 

Upgrade your barbecue burgers with slices of OGLESHIELD cheese from the Montgomery dairy in Somerset. It has fantastic flavour and a melt point loved by top chefs. Smear your buns with a smidge of Gentlemen's Relish to add a London restaurant finish, and although this might sound sacrilegious to some, a dollop or GORGONZOLA DOLCE is surprisingly good too.

Little ST ELLA, our Crottin-style local goats cheeses, are the perfect barbecue accompaniment. Wrap them in Parma ham and grill until the ham is crispy, then serve with salad for a light lunch. You can lightly smoke them too. Make a plate for each out of foil or use a foil tray and cook on the side of the grill where it is coolest. If the bbq is too hot you can use two foil trays and place ice between the two.... a clever cheffy tip for cold smoking. These goats cheese make great bruschetta style nibbles for a grazing table. Try toasting baguette slices,  sour dough or dense rye bread and spread with beetroot houmous, then finish with crumbled goats cheese. 

Fresh from our kitchens this weekend.

As well as all our usual deli favourites, we will have our legendary potato salad and both classic and beetroot houmous available from Wednesday. We will be making crostini too, so all you have to do is add your chosen topping.

Host a Zoom Tasting party!

Why not host a Zoom Tasting party this weekend!

The Newlyns way!

We expect you are all getting a bit tired of the numerous quizzes and scavenger hunts you have probably been playing with friends and family on Zoom over the last few weeks of lockdown!  So here is something different for you to try - combining digital with the real world, igniting your senses whilst sharing the fun with others...

ORDER OUR WINE, STEAK & CHEESE TASTING BOX 
FOR ONLY £99.99

In partnership with our good friends at Caviste
 
We have put together a scrumptious tasting box of 5 wines (3 red, 1 white, 1 rose), a selection of our finest steak cuts (fillet, sirloin, ribeye and rump) as well as a selection of 5 mystery cheese options (ranging from hard to soft and including blue options too).

Each box comes complete with tasting notes, plus a mystery bottle of wine and a black envelope to jazz things up a bit - we thought it would be a fun idea to see if you could guess the country and the grape before looking at the label or tasting notes!

  *** Average price of each bottle of wine = £12.75 ***

So what are you waiting for?! Get your friends in on the fun! Simply give us a call to add one to your Call and Collect basket with the rest of your bank holiday order.
