Roth's Private Reserve
oil on wood, 8x8"
From the Cheese Portraits series.
This American original is from Roth Käse, of Emmi Roth, USA. They commissioned this paitning to celebrate it's return to the market.
I found a wonderful review on Sgate.com: "The Private Reserve starts with milk that has been thermalized, a heat treatment that stops short of pasteurization. The Europeans do not consider thermalized milk to be raw; American regulators do, so Roth's Private Reserve is, by our standards, a raw-milk cheese.
...I recently sampled a wedge from an 18-month-old wheel, and it was extraordinary, with profound aromas of beef bouillon, deeply roasted nuts, caramel and cow barn. The interior was deep gold, much darker at the rind, with a smooth, creamy texture that was moister than I expected - too moist to shave. The salt was pronounced, but everything about this cheese was concentrated. It reminded me of eating a dry-aged steak."
After reading this mouth watering review, I had no choice but to conjour up a palette of nuts and dry-aged steak!
