Labor Day is the third most popular grilling day of the year. Join the fun and invite some friends over to celebrate everyone\u2019s hard work over the past year. Serve your guests some of our sweet sausages, hot sausages, and sweet with fennel sausages. They are perfect for grilling along with our Black and Bleu Angus burgers. Surprise your guests by adding Halloumi, a Greek grilling cheese, to the plate. This cheese is perfect on your burgers and sausages and great with juicy watermelon!<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve worked hard all year, wipe the sweat off your brow \u2026 let Carlino\u2019s do the work for you!<\/p>\n

And speaking of entertaining\u2026 One of the most frequently asked questions is \u201cHow to plan and execute the perfect cheese board.\u201d The question WE ask the most is, \u201cWhat cheese do you like?\u201d Then we take it from there.<\/p>\n

There are a variety of ways to do this\u2026 Follow the milk and offer goat, sheep and cow; follow the consistency and present soft, semi-soft, semi-hard and hard. Feature cheeses of one country or a specific region: for example, the Venuto region of Italy which could include Asiago (Fresco or Aged), Grana Padano, Piave, Trugole, Robiola and Ubriacone (all part of Carlino\u2019s cheese menu). Or have the cheese board follow the wine selection. High acid wines work well with full fat cheeses (double and triple cr\u00e8mes); champagne works well with semi soft cheeses (like Morbier) because the cheese leaves a residue of creaminess of the throat that provides the champagne bubbles with a place to land.<\/p>\n

Offer three to five cheeses in a pre-dinner gathering; provide each guest with at least one ounce and up to four ounces of each cheese depending upon what is to follow. If the cheese is the main event, then expand the number of the cheeses presented to seven.<\/p>\n

A great cheese board always includes a variety of accompaniments. Carlino\u2019s artisan crusty bread and\/or crackers, fresh and\/or dried fruit, nuts, honey, fruit spreads and jams, olives, Carlino\u2019s Extra Virgin Olive Oil and\/or Carlino\u2019s Balsamic Vinegar, dried and cured meats (especially Prosciutto)\u2026 all available at Carlino\u2019s along with expert advice to guide you in your selection. Visit our \u201cGrove\u201d and select from over 40 imported extra virgin olive oils, infused extra virgin olive oils, balsamics, and infused balsamics to accompany your cheeses. You\u2019ll be the talk of the town. Be bold, experiment and remember to let your taste buds be your ultimate guide; trust them to come up with your interpretation of the perfect cheese board.<\/p>\n
