Visiting Ireland
I had the great opportunity of visiting Ireland back in January of 2020. Not only can you see a difference from the butter and cheese that’s made in Ireland but you can also taste a difference.
“The milk for Truly Grass Fed products comes from approximately 3,000 farms located across Ireland’s fertile land. Our farmers share deep bonds with their herds, with sustainability and animal welfare always top of mind. Each farm has an average of one cow for every two acres and is Certified Animal Welfare Approved by AGW (A Greener World, AWA), an independent nonprofit farm-certification program, which guarantees that animals are raised outdoors on pasture on independent farms their entire lives, using truly sustainable, high welfare farming practices.”
Summer Crostini
What makes this crostini so delicious? In my opinion, it’s not just the ingredients I am using, the Truly Grass Fed butter and cheese, but it’s also the flavor combinations. Grilled peaches with aged cheddar might not sound like a great mix but it works! Believe me! The creamy texture and bold taste and slight tang and saltiness go excellently with the sweetness and mild smokiness you get from the grilled peaches. The tomatoes and grilled zucchini also are excellent crostini toppings. I hope you try this!
