Competition: SA Cheese Festival Tickets

Submitted by J @ JFN on Tuesday, 27 March 2012

The SA Cheese Festival is legendary and judging by the mail I’ve received, loads of you are looking forward to it as much as I am which is why, this competition makes so much sense. Thanks to the people at the Cheese Festival, I’ll be giving away two tickets to the lucky person/s who can answer a really simple question that you’ll find at the end of this post. To refresh your memory, read the press release or visit the website for more details; in short, the festival takes place from the

27^th – 30^th of April this year and if last year is anything to go by, it’s going to be a fantastic event where the assortment of artisanal cheeses, dairy products, wines and pretty massive of variety partnering products will tease your taste buds like they’ve never been teased before! To win the competition, please answer the question below and let me have your name and email address! For those of you who don’t live in South Africa, don’t stress about the tickets, we’ll get them to you the minute you arrive in the Cape.

Question:

Name your favourite cheese and tell me why you like it, leave your name & your contact details next to the description so that I can get hold of you; if you prefer privacy, there’s a ‘contact’ link above the headline – your details are pretty safe if you fill them in there. The competition will close on Saturday, the 31st of March at midnight and I’ll announce the winners on Monday, the 1st of April!

I parmesan and other similar hard cheese. I love it because, to me, it seems to go with everything! Delicious crumbly or gooey tangy cheesy goodness! Candice Newton, candicejnewton@gmail.com

Roquefort – yummy to mash with butter and make a spread, or to stir into stove top dishes for creamy flavour! Mmmmmmmmm
Megan

My favourite cheese is brie, because I love the creamy soft centre in contrast with the outer “shell”, and I find it to be a healthy and easy cheese to eat, and it also compliments many of my favourite wine types too

Camembert – It’s Crumbly and soft in the beginning but becomes creamier over a period of 2-3 weeks! It’s like 3 cheeses in one. When served with Fig; I am transported to heaven! Jana van der Spuy, vanderspuyjana@gmail.com

Pecorino cheese over a fresh, crispy summer salad or a yummy pasta dish is my favourite! I find pecorino cheese to have such a complex flavour and compliments both salads and pasta dishes perfectly. But who can resist a wheel of cambrini cheese coated with the sweetness of honey, fig preserves and crunchy nuts! So creamy and sweet, DELISH!

I visit the festival each year! Absolutely love the variety of cheeses and wines. But believe this to be an “April Fool’s” joke, and therefore I need to be announced as the winner on 1st April.

I love so many cheeses. But I think my favourite is parmesan – grated over pasta and salad, grilled into crisps or just a nice big chunk with a glass of red wine

It has to be, Gorgonzola ………..made from goat’s milk, crumbly and quite salty, with a “bite” from its blue veining.
Torrin_Theron

As someone who is lactose intolerant, but loves cheese, this is the only time of the year which I bite bullet and suffer the side effects, much to the amusement of best friend. I go mad for all the goat cheese as we don’t normally have a wide variety down here in Stellenbosch. The Cheese Festivalhas has been our annual ‘girls day out’ for the last 5 years!
Jengordon

Brie – nothing better than a glass of wine, salty crax fig jam and a slice of soft Brie to top off a winding down Friday eve. It screams Cape Town.
