NEW YORK, N.Y. — Looking for a fun afternoon snack? A cheesy dinner idea? The ideal pairing for a late night cheese tray? The new website, DairyDial.com, from importer Best Cheese Corp., offers quick, easy-to-use and easy-to-access answers for these and hundreds more cheese queries.
The site's aim is to help Americans become as comfortable and familiar fitting cheeses into our daily food choices — what's good for breakfast, what's good for a snack with wine, and what's good to cook with — as we have become with the art of wine. As it stands now, there's a world of opportunities to enjoy cheese, from times of day to unexpected accompaniments that Americans are missing out on.
With one DairyDial click, a simple — and mobile phone-friendly — online dial shows: good cheese choices for each of six day parts, starting with the next meal. Each recommendation comes with a list of corresponding recipes and some unique food pairings, like a spicy, fruity 2008 Dr. Frank Rkatsiteli white along with a wheel of Coach Farm Green Peppercorn Goat Cheese or a Gracious Gourmet Fig Almond Spread with an Aged Triple Cream. All of these appear without pop-ups and without ever leaving the home page, which is a benefit to low-bandwidth mobile phone users, in the supermarket, perhaps. A supplementary screen offers detailed recipes, social media tie-ins, and a store locator.
While DairyDial.com is meant to be an efficient source of practical suggestions, those whose taste for cheese goes beyond the utilitarian may enjoy a second, new companion blog, TheDairyDiary.com , where international culinary guest writers get warm and gooey. Some essay topics there include: beer/cheese pairings; an acquired appreciation for cheese smell; and — oddly — the very specific cheeses from one specific cow.
Both sites are the work of Darling Agency, New York.
Best Cheese Corp. is a leading importer of specialty Dutch cheeses and owner and operator of Coach Farm, a farmstead goat dairy farm in New York Hudson's Valley. Best Cheese brands are available nationally in supermarkets and specialty markets such as Kroger, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and Zabar's.
