Cheese of The World

Pick the lie! 1). Like wine, olive oil improves with age. 2). On average, the world consumes about 2.5 million tons of olive oil each year. ... 3). Baked goods will last longer when you substitute butter with olive oil.

Our newest obsession: BLACK GARLIC The delicious goodness that you get from browning meats or toasting starches is a result of the Maillard reaction - a chemical reaction between amino acids and reducing sugars with heat. Black garlic was developed in Korea as a health food to combat disease and lower cholesterol. Bulbs of garlic are kept at a low temperature for up to a month and as the natural sugars breakdown, the cloves turn black. The taste is a mellow and sweet carameli...zed garlic flavor without the acrid burn that you get from the fresh ones. Try some cloves or the new Spanish sheep’s milk cheese that is infused with black garlic and honey. #themoreyouknow #blackgarlic #parrafamily #sheepsmilkcheese #superfoods #blackgarliccheese #foresthills #queenseats @ Forest Hills, New York
