Waterloo, Wisconsin — Summer is the season for family reunions, and for sharing family heirloom recipes. That doesn’t mean you can’t create new recipe classics, though. This year, why not please your extended family and friends with recipes featuring Crave Brothers Mascarpone, Fresh Mozzarella, Les Frères® and Petit Frère®? Crave Brothers Farmstead Classics is more than a name: It’s an accurate statement about the quality cheeses, made at a farmstead cheese facility on a sustainable, state-of-the-art family farm in Wisconsin.
Summer recipes from Crave Brothers Farmstead Classics help you highlight the flavors of the season—sweet peaches and berries, robust tomatoes and summer squash.
Fresh Mozzarella is available in a variety of sizes, making it easy to create your own classics. For a simple recipe bursting with flavor, try the Fresh Mozzarella, Strawberry and Mint Salad featuring Crave Brothers Fresh Mozzarella—Ovoline (egg-sized balls).
You can also celebrate summer with Marinated Herbed Tomato Salad with Fresh Mozzarella, using cherry-sized Ciliegene. Share your garden-grown tomatoes and fresh basil with a salad featuring Perline (pearl size) or sliced Bocconcini (ball size) Crave Brothers Fresh Mozzarella.
For seasonal fruit and cheese presentations, offer fresh peaches or berries with a dollop of award-winning Crave Brothers Mascarpone. The fresh sweet cheese provides just the right complement for fruit and fruit pies. Vegetable-loving families will want to try recipes such as Summer Squash Casserole with shredded Petit Frère®, a rind-washed European-style cheese.
You’ll find these and other summertime recipe ideas on the Crave Brothers Farmstead Cheese website at www.cravecheese.com.
The Crave family farms 1700 acres of rich land in south-central Wisconsin, growing soybeans, corn and alfalfa to use as nutritious feed for their Holstein cows. From the manure digester to water and land management practices, sustainability is top-of-mind on the farm. Every pound of cheese made by George Crave, a licensed cheese maker, is made with milk from the family’s herd. Crave Brothers Farmstead Cheese produces Mascarpone, Fresh Mozzarella, Les Frères® and Petit Frère® French-style cheeses, Farmer’s Rope Part-Skim Mozzarella String Cheese and Oaxaca.
