Detroit Street Brick
It almost seemed destiny that Zingerman's -- that purveyor of fine foodstuffs, that stacker of thick sandwiches, that favorite of Go Blue! college kids and visiting parents -- should turn their highly-flavored fingers to making cheese. Using fresh organic milk from Southeastern Michigan, Zingerman's award-winning cheesemaker, John Loomis, carefully crafts a variety of both cow and goats' milk cheeses.
Named for address of Zingerman's Deli and shaped to look like the square cobblestones that pave the Ann Arbor neighborhood, Detroit St. Brick is a dense, young goat cheese. Slice into the bloomy brick and discover the cracked green peppercorns buried in the creamy paste that give the tangy cheese a fresh hint of spiciness.
