Spring Forward with Swiss Cheese

When ever one thinks of Swiss Cheese, usually a holey Emmental comes to mind.  Or melted fondue parties in front of the fire.  Or warm Swiss Raclette after a long days skiing.  As soon as the weather starts to warm up, authentic Swiss cheese tends to fall out of everyone's mind.

Dussa's wants to change that.  Dussa's wants to remind Canadians that authentic Swiss cheese is not just for winter.  Try grating Appenzellar over a leafy green salad, or thinly sliced next to fresh summer fruits.  Little petals of Tete Du Moine are divine with a dab of jam and toast.  And there is nothing in the world like a thick slice of Swiss Raclette on a juicy burger.

Come to Dussa's Ham and Cheese this Easter Weekend and re-introduce yourself to authentic Swiss cheese.  All cheese imported from Switzerland as well as DarVida crackers are %10 for the entire weekend. 

Also, if you purchase a piece of authentic Swiss cheese, you are eligible to enter to win a Girolle, a fondue set, or a Swiss Raclette Grill.

So come visit us at Dussa's Ham and Cheese, and spring forward with Swiss cheese!

Le Marechal

When it comes to cheese, Le Marechal is the new kid on the block.  In the early 90's, cheese maker Jean-Michel Rapin created a cheese that was meant to be different from Swiss Gruyere.  He named if after is grandfather, who was a blacksmith, because it shared his "original and robust character".

Le Marechal is a raw milk Swiss cheese that shares the nutty flavour of typical Swiss made cheeses.  But unlike Swiss Gruyere and Appenzellar, La Marechal has a melt in your mouth texture and a simple yet rustic flavour.  The rind is rubbed with herbs as the cheese ages, giving it a subtley spicey, almost floral taste.  Not only is Le Marechal delicious, but its incredibly healthy too- the cows are fed flaxseed flour, making their milk rich in Omega-3.

Le Marechal is an amazing table cheese, and does really well in cheese sauces.  Serve it with figs or fig spread, olives, and a good dry white wine.

Le Marechal is 10% off, while supplies last.
