THE CHEESE (ALSO) IS FOR THE SUMMER. How many messages of love could we dedicate to cheese, how many times have we answered “yes, I do” to the question “do you want more cheese?”. One of the foods that has most united society and that has such a fascinating universe behind it comes to claim its place during the summer… And he does it in the form of ice cream!
The second edition of this summer delight from the hand of training comes with new additions. If the smoked Idiazábal and Stilton Colston Basset already triumphed last year, this time three more join in: Queixo do País, Comté, and Olavidia, difficult decision.
You have to remember that Fromaje is not cheese ice cream, They are frozen cheeses! A new way of consuming cheese in the summer season, moving away from ultra-processed ones, since its ingredients are its own cheese, raw milk and fresh cream , accompanied by organic honey, panela or molasses that create the texture of the ice cream. Do we inaugurate the summer? (Available at Plaza de Chamberí, 9, or Uber Eats)
