Every
time I walk into the warehouse and see my gorgeous partners Kate & Tessa, I
feel like I am wagging work in favour of a play date.
I’m
dead set serious. I mean who gets to go to work with two of your besties every
day and actually call it work?!
It
seems that I do!

Friday’s are the bomb and hands down my
absolute fave day of the week as far as work goes.
We may only be in our infancy as far as
businesses go but already we have some strict rules set in stone – including
one where we insist on closing off the week on a high note with Friday
afternoon down time and an open door policy.
Friday afternoons at the warehouse are all about
letting our hair down, fare-welling the week and saying hello to friends and we
encourage everyone to drop in and say hello if you happen to be in the area.
Regardless of whether you are visiting to
shop or just stealing a little time out for yourself - I can guarantee that
there will be good music pumping, a cup of coffee or a glass of vino waiting
for you and something delectably tempting for our tums.
See what I mean?
And we call this work. Ha!
Last week the gang from Frico Cheese sent us a box of some of their finest to enjoy during our Friday
afternoon session. A wooden crate full of the most insanely moorish naturally
ripened Dutch cheese and semi-hard cheese that literally sent our will power
scampering for the hills.
Teamed with some bread and crackers, olives
and fruit, these cheeses were the perfect partner for our Friday afternoon downtime
session.
Frico’s traditional Dutch cheeses are made
with the highest quality nutritious fresh milk from Frisian cows by experience cheese
makers who have had a LOT of experience.
I’m talking the ‘making it since 1898’ kind
of experience here people.
They KNOW their cheese!
Now I have to admit I am not usually all
that adventurous when it comes to cheese – I tend to always go for the same
things when I am putting together a platter and I don’t usually stray far from
the ones I know… until now, because well
blow me down I am now officially a cheese nomad. Playing it ‘safe’ for all this
time has meant I have been missing out on trying some insanely delicious cheese
including my new all time fave – the soft and creamy herb Gouda.
Did you know that us Aussies consumer about
13.5kg of cheese per year per person?
Sweet baby cheeses - that’s a lot of
cheese.
I swear I must have eaten at least a
quarter of my yearly quota last Friday afternoon because I could not stay away
from that Gouda, the Maasam and the Chevrette Dutch goat’s milk cheese.
Yep, I had little to no willpower.
OK, so NO will power, whatever. YOU try sitting in front of a pile of cheese and showing some
restraint.
If you love to cook with cheese, then
definitely check outsome of these tempting recipes Frico have put together showcasing the Frico range of mild, matured
& seasoned cheeses.
You can find the Frico cheese products in
grocery stores all around Australia or you can pick them up here.
Don’t forget if you are in the area on a
Friday afternoon, pop in and say hello to us.
