It takes a total team effort to come up with the delicious pairings we’re serving up. Check out a behind the scenes look of how our team created this year’s Summer Cheese Board.
Many people aren’t aware how many great people make up our Carlino’s team. Several are hidden behind the scenes such as our marketing team to those hidden heroes like our cheese department and every one in between.
As you saw in the video, it takes some good old fashioned ingenuity and creativity to come up with this Summer’s creative cheese board pairings, inspired by our favorite summer treats:
- Savory S’more – Belletoile Brie with Parma Prosciutto, Savannah Bee Honey, and Fine Cheese Company
- Popsicle – Beemster Goat Gouda with Stonewall Kitchen Dulce de Leche and Caramelized Pecans
- Chipwich – St. Agur with Cracked Cacao and Carr’s Whole Wheat Cracker
- Sundae – Scoop of Carlino’s Ricotta with Tiptree Lemon Curd, Diced and Dried Apricots and Kiwi
Carlino’s is at it’s best when all areas of the store are in perfect unison. When our floor team is able to satisfy the customer with the food that is made from our kitchen team. Then our office team is able to accept orders, market the product and maintain great relationships with all of our partners. This 2019 Summer Cheese Board is a prime example of that.
Our cheese team that is shown in the video are Claire and TJ (please come in and pick their brains, they have so much cheese knowledge they love to share!). After choosing the cheeses to highlight and coming up with an unique delivery of the message (our Summer dessert favorites), they then make it into the hands of our photographer/videographer Paul.
Paul brought his own style and purpose when he started with us toward the end of 2018. Now, during his first Summer, he brought the summer vibes right into our photo studio. If you look closely at the beginning of the video, you’ll see a small peak into our studio. This is a room many people do not realize we even have, where all photos you see on our website, social media and on our menus come from. What the studio lacks in size, it makes up for in character and stories! It now serves as a place where our food comes to life.
To pull this trick off, everyone used their own special tools. Claire and TJ used cheese and utensils & Paul used a Magnus Tripod, a Vanguard Utility Bar and a Canon EOS 60D DSLR, plus a bit of sand! All of this lead to our most creative cheese board yet. We are truly thankful for the talents of our special team and our ability to share them with you.
We love sharing our gifts and talents with you, our customers, the inspiration for everything we do. Thank you for watching and reading, and be sure to come in and ask us to help you create your own special cheese board for your Summer cookout.
