Just
Say Cheese
Cheese is
a wonderful complement to fruit. Semi-firm cheeses such as
Gruyère, Emmentahl, Cantal, Comté and Mimolette
are especially delicious with any variety
of crisp apple! The
best cheeses to combine with fresh
pears are Sharp Cheddars, Colby Cheese and Chèvre
such as Couturier, Chèvretine, Chèvre de Bellay, or Soignon
made from goats milk as well as some feta cheeses. We've
added a variety of fruit
and cheese recipes to use with wonderful Washington
grown apples and pears that you can order at the Fruit From
Washington.com store.
Braeburn
is the Fruit From Washington Subscription Order Selection
for May
This great eating apple was first cultivated in New
Zealand. Braeburns are essentially a green apple with
generous, cheeky red coloring. We love the flavor,
texture and keeping quality of Braeburns with that
greenish hue. We're sure that you will love them,
too! Braeburns have a tart almost spicy flavor eaten
fresh and are excellent for cooking too!
