FYNBOSHOEK CHEESE

BEST FOR A relaxing cheese-filled country lunch. FOOD Fynboshoek Cheese offers quality cheese in a farmhouse setting, where almost everything is grown or made on the premises. There’s no menu; nibble on a cheddar-filled brioche ball until the aromatic rosemary focaccia is ready, fresh from the oven. Feast on salads of leaves, herbs and vegetables from the garden, studded with cheese. The main event is a feast of cow’s and goat's milk cheeses made by your host and award-winning cheese-maker, Alje van Deemter. Fresh ricotta drizzled with honey; aged cheddar, sharp provolone, creamy chèvre and brie all vie for attention. Desserts of the day provide a fitting finish: pecan pie, crêpes or cheesecake. DRINKS BYO and end with a good coffee. SERVICE Alje is a gracious host who serves the various cheeses. AMBIENCE The inviting farmhouse celebrates living well. Sit at a comfortable table by the fire or outside overlooking the dam. (CP)
