Weekly Trivia

Question: Why are some cheeses wrapped in leaves? Does it effect the cheese? Find out in the next Artisanal e-newsletter!
- The Artisanal Staff

Last Time We Asked: I notice that many people have their cheese course at the end of their meals. We always had our cheese at the start. Which is better, before or after?

Answer: We believe that it is perfectly fine to have your cheese whenever you want it at any part of the day: before meals, during meals, after meals, between meals, and as an ingredient of a recipe for whatever dish you're preparing for the meal, whatever meal that may be: breakfast, lunch or dinner. For some cultures the cheese course is most often enjoyed at the end of the meal, most notably in France. For others cheese is most often enjoyed at the start of the meal, here most notably in Spain. For some the cheese is an ingredient in a recipe, and for that we can thank the Italians who can be largely credited for teaching the rest of the world how to cook with cheese. And for others the cheese is the meal. And for this I would have to say that the British would have claim.

Because our first restaurant - Picholine - is more French Mediterranean inspired than otherwise we generally recommend the cheese course after the main course, or the French way. But many people come in to the restaurant for the cheese only so it can be presented whenever it is requested, of course. This is pretty much the same thing at Artisanal Bistro & Fromagerie.

Because our cheeses are not only French we believe that most importantly it is to have it available to you whenever you want it. For some of us here we snack on cheese at any part of the day. With that little bit of cheese we see that out appetites are amazingly satisfying so we are less prone to binge eating. We get what we need from just a little bit of cheese so we eat less overall, and we keep excess weight off. For several within the company here we're noticing that we are even losing weight!.

Like many of the Mediterranean cultures we know that cheese is a valuable and efficient source of nutrition that can enable you to keep excess weight off.
