Seeds: How to Eat More of these Superfoods

By admin / Date Mar 26.2019

Did you know that seeds are incredibly good for you?

Seeds contain high levels of essential fatty acids as well as lots of vitamins and minerals that can help to keep us healthy. Because they are so nutrient-rich, you don’t need to eat a lot each day to get the health benefits of them. A tablespoon a day is more than enough.

We’ve put together a list of ideas to help you eat more and get the goodness into your diet. We stock both sunflower and pumpkin seeds which will both work well in any of the options below.

Seeds: On Cereal

Start your day with a spoonful of seeds sprinkled on top of your usual cereal. Even better, you could have seeds as part of a bowl of granola or muesli. You can easily make your own granola by choosing a selection of oats, nuts, and seeds and gently roasting them in the oven. Drizzle them with honey or maple syrup if you like them to be slightly sweet, or mix in a selection of dried fruit before storing the granola away.

On Yogurt

Yogurt can be a great healthy snack if you choose one that is low in sugar and fat. It is full of protein and when sprinkled with seeds will give you the energy to take you right through the day. If you find yourself experiencing a mid-afternoon moment of tiredness then why not pack a pot of yogurt and a small tub of them to enjoy wherever you happen to be?

Stir Fry

Next time you whip up a quick stir fry of your favorite meats and vegetables, add a spoonful towards the end of cooking. Not only will they add a crunchy texture, but they’ll toast beautifully and add plenty of nutty flavor to your dish. Just be careful not to burn them.

Salads

Of course, salads had to be on this list. You always want to be adding texture and protein to your salad and seeds are a quick and easy way to do this. If you are often making a quick lunch at the office, keep a pot of them at your desk or in your car so that you can quickly add them without any fuss.

Soups

Instead of a swirl of cream, try a smattering of seeds! They’re better for you and add both texture and flavor to your dish. Even if you haven’t made the soup from scratch yourself, you can make it seem like a put together meal.

Trail Mix

This is another option that you can make yourself with all of your favorite ingredients, but if you need a quick and easy option then our diet trail mix contains nuts, seeds, and fruits to give you a boost of energy.

We hope that these handy tips will help you to get some of those essential fatty acids and vitamins into your day to day meals. How do you like to eat seeds? Let us know in the comments!

A Guide to Wine Cocktails

By admin / Date Feb 26.2019

Sometimes you want to throw a party that is a little out of the ordinary. Perhaps you have a special birthday or anniversary coming up? One way that we like to create a special atmosphere is to serve a signature drink. Today we are going to help you explore the unusual world of wine cocktails. First, we’ll explain two of the ingredients as they aren’t your usual red or white wine!

Ingredients for Wine Cocktails: Vermouth

Vermouth is flavoured with an infusion of herbs, spices and peels and is one of the most widely used aromatized wines. An aromatized wine is a fortified wine that has had flavours such as herbs, spices, and fruits added to it. It is made by using a base wine which has alcohol and dry ingredients added that will infuse flavor. It may then by sweetened with cane sugar or caramelized sugar. Red vermouths are usually sweeter, whilst pale vermouths will be dry.

Ingredients for Wine Cocktails: Sherry

Sherry is a fortified wine made from white grapes that have been air-dried. It has a sweet, spiced taste almost like a Christmas cake. There is a wide variety of different sherries from dry Manzanilla to sweet Pedro Ximenez. It works well with spirits such as whiskey and combines with citrus flavours.

Wine Cocktails

Sherry Cobbler

This is said to date back to the 1820s and 1830s. It’s a simple way of drinking sherry that allows the flavours to shine through. The ingredients are muddled and then shaken over ice. Garnish it with a lemon wheel, berries and mint.

Amontillado Sherry
Simple syrup
Orange slices

French 75

A slightly sweet cocktail that is best served very cold. Make sure that you use a chilled glass and mix everything together well to keep it fresh. The gin, lemon juice and syrup are mixed and then topped up with champagne. Garnish with a lemon twist for extra flair.

Gin
Lemon juice
Simple syrup
Champagne

Sangria

This is a classic Spanish cocktail that combines wine with fruity flavours. It is usually garnished with plenty of fruit including slices of orange, lemon and apples.

Wine – a dry red is usually best as you are adding sweetness
Brandy
Triple sec
Fruit juice – usually orange
Simple syrup
Lemonade is sometimes used, especially in white wine sangrias

Martini

The classic cocktail, a martini can be made with vodka or gin. Served in a martini glass, it’s probably one of the most glamorous things that you can order at a bar. It is sometimes garnished with a lemon twist or an olive.

6 parts gin/vodka
1 part dry vermouth

Choose from a wide range of flavors including Ranch, Italian Sun Dried Tomato, and Honey Dijon. Just like the syrups, they have no calories, fat, carbs, gluten or sugars of any kind.

Try them drizzled over salads, as flavor in your sandwiches or as a marinade for grilled meats, fish or vegetables.

“I absolutely love this little cheese shop! The workers are always friendly and welcoming. Plenty of selection and that down home feeling of an authentic country store! Our relatives from afar always look forward to a gift box from Shislers – it’s become me a tradition!!”

Jim Cummins
When our family left Ohio thirty years ago, we didn’t forget Shisler’s Cheese House. Having patronized Shisler’s while living close enough to shop there personally, beginning as children. We continued to do so from eight different states over the years, in which we lived. That’s because you can’t find better products (meats and cheeses) even in Wisconsin! Buy with confidence and spread the word by introducing others to Shisler’s Cheese House and their products and service. Guaranteed, your friends won’t find comparable quality where they live. We’re back in Ohio, now, and continue sending gifts to friends. You should make Shisler’s a big part of your gift giving, too!

IAmNotAFunguy
Nice little place. Owned and run by a very nice family. The cheese and candy are all homemade and always to the highest of age and quality and the beef is farmed fresh from right nearby. Worth the stop if you come out here.

I have been coming into Shisler’s since before I was born in Orrville, Ohio! I now travel from Wisconsin, and it is a planned, much anticipated, part of a trip home. Everybody there feels like family, and the cheese!! Oh, the cheese is amazing, some of our favorites being the 3yr aged sharp white cheddar, and the Amish Butter cheese. Sausages, mustards, and let’s not forget Hegge’s Chocolates!! See you soon, Rita!!

Gouda: Everything You Need to Know

By admin / Date Sep 25.2018

We love to help you get to know our cheeses here at Shisler’s Cheese House. Today, we are taking a look at Gouda.

What is Gouda cheese?

Gouda is a yellow cow’s milk cheese. It usually has a red or yellow wax coating. Ours is imported from the Netherlands, where it originated.

How is Gouda made?

It is made by culturing and heating the milk until the curd separates from the whey. When some of it is drained, water is added, which is called “washing the curd”. This process gives a sweeter flavor to the cheese as the washing removes some of the lactic acid. It is aged in cellars for at least 4 weeks. Extra mature versions will have been aged for 7 to 8 months, although it may be left for over a year to become even more flavorful and crunchy.

What does it taste like?

As the cheese ages, it develops a caramel-like sweetness. It sometimes has a slight crunch from the tyrosine crystals that resemble salt. The longer it is aged, the more aromatic and flavored it becomes.

We also sell a Smoked Gouda which is infused with a lovely smoky flavor.

What should I eat it with?

For the simplest snack, serve cubes of Gouda with a dipping mustard as they would do in the Netherlands.

Gouda pairs very well with fruit such as apples and pears. It is also great with other sweet flavors including honey and syrup.

It melts deliciously, so try a slice in your favorite grilled cheese sandwich for extra flavor and that incredible melted cheese effect. Try adding some wholegrain mustard to a grilled cheese. The nuttiness of the cheese pairs really well with the spice of the mustard.

This is also a fantastic cheese to add to a cheese sauce as it will add an extra punch of flavor. Mix it into pasta dishes or grate it over roasted vegetables for a simple cheesy side dish.

If you like to make quick snacks for parties, then you can use this to make quick cheese straws with flaky pastry or layer it vegetables to stuff jalapeno peppers for a spicy treat.

What should I drink it with?

For a special occasion, this cheese is delicious with a glass of champagne or sparkling wine. Other white wines that work well are those that have fruit flavors such as a Sauvignon Blanc or Riesling. If you prefer red wine, we would recommend something light but fruity with a smoky undertone, such as a Beaujolais or a Pinot Noir. A Cabernet Sauvignon would go well with an aged Gouda, although it may overpower a younger cheese. A smoked Gouda is delicious with a glass of spicy Pinot Noir or a Chardonnay.

This cheese also goes very well with beer from light lagers and pale ales to a hearty porter or stout. You could even try it with spirits like Brandy or Calvados.

How to Make the Perfect Crepe

By admin / Date May 31.2018

Do you love a crepe for breakfast? Perhaps you want to wow your guests with savory ones at a party? Look no further. Today we’ll tell you how to make the perfect crepe. We even have some topping suggestions!

History of the crepe

A crepe is a very thin pancake. Unlike American pancakes, they are very fragile in texture and can even appear lacy.

Crepes actually originate from the Greek Tiganitai, from tiganos meaning frying pan, which literally translates into English as pancakes. The French crêpe derives from the Latin crispa, meaning tiganitai with creases.

In France, crepes are traditionally served on Candlemas (February 2). If you toss a crepe in a frying pan in your right hand, whilst holding a gold coin in your left hand, it is said that you will become rich for the year ahead. The shape of the crepe is often also seen as symbolic of the sun.

Crepes are also popular across other parts of Europe and are referred to by many names. In Spain, they are traditionally served at carnivals, where they are sometimes made with pork blood instead of milk.

You will need:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon sugar

0.25 teaspoon salt

1.5 cups of milk

3 tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted

How to make the crepes:

Mix all ingredients in a blender. This will create a puree and will ensure that all of the ingredients are mixed well. If you don’t have a blender you can do this by hand, but ensure that you mix thoroughly.

Bubbles will form on the top when the batter is ready. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. If you are preparing ahead for a dinner party, it can be kept in the fridge for 1 day.

Heat a non-stick 12inch skillet over a medium heat. Add a little butter and allow this to melt and coat the pan.

Add 1/3 of a cup of batter, swirl it to evenly cover the pan, and cook until golden brown. This should take 2 to 3 minutes.

Carefully flip the crepe using a silicone spatula. Cook for another minute and remove from the pan.

Continue with the remaining batter, adding butter before each crepe.

Toppings

Now you can get creative! We like to fill our crepe and roll it up, but you can serve them open if you like.

Try sweet toppings like chocolate, maple syrup, marshmallows, cinnamon, baked apples, peaches and cream. We have a huge range of syrups for you to drizzle on.

If you prefer a savory crepe, then cheese is an excellent choice. We especially like ricotta with spinach or gruyere with ham.

The best thing is that you can experiment and find your favorite flavor combinations.

Enjoy your crepes!

Coffee Types and How to Make Them at Home

By admin / Date May 03.2018

Do you love coffee? We do!

We stock Reach Coffee, speciality beans from the region of Chanchamayo, Peru roasted in Cleveland, Ohio.

Today we’re going to show you how to make a variety of different coffees so that you can get the coffee shop experience at home.

If you are using a machine or espresso maker, you will need a fine grind. If you use a press or another coffee brewing method, you can use a coarser grind, but be aware that you will need to give the coffee time to brew to your desired strength.

Americano

A shot of espresso topped up with hot water. This is probably the easiest of the coffees to make. You could add milk, but this is best drunk without.

Cappuccino

A cappuccino is a shot of espresso with an equal amount of steamed and frothed milk added. To make one you will need a fine grind of your beans so that you get a strong espresso. Make an espresso shot using your coffee maker of choice, then steam your milk. Froth it using an electric whisk or a milk frother, if you have one. You are looking for a lot of foam to get the true cappuccino experience. Pour the milk on top of the coffee. Top with a sprinkling of cinnamon, cocoa or nutmeg.

Latte

A latte is half steamed milk and half espresso. It is has a lot less froth than a cappuccino. Make the coffee shot first. Froth the milk slightly and then slowly pour it down the side of the cup so that it infuses with the coffee. If you’re feeling fancy, you can even try to pour it into some latte art!

Flat White

A flat white is simply a latte without the froth! Steam your milk and pour it over a shot of espresso

Mocha

A mocha is a mix of hot chocolate and coffee. Use the best quality hot chocolate that you can find. Make it with steamed milk and then add a shot of espresso. For an extra treat, top with whipped cream and a sprinkling of grated chocolate.

You can also make a mocha by making a latte and adding some chocolate syrup to it.

Espresso con Panna

A delicious morning treat. Simply make a shot of espresso. Top with a layer of whipped cream. Enjoy!

Macchiato

A small amount of frothed milk on top of a shot of espresso. This is really simple to make, but remember that this is the classic macchiato so it might not be like the ones in your favorite coffee shops!

We hope you’ve enjoyed our quick tutorial on some of the different drinks that you can make. It really is easy to make them at home when you understand the different types. Which coffee is your favorite? Let us know in the comments!

Food Tourism Destinations To Inspire Your Next Trip

By admin / Date Apr 27.2018

Food tourism is becoming one of the biggest trends in travel today. We absolutely love traveling to experience different foods and will regularly decide where to go based on the delicious dishes that can be found there. Whether you’re traveling within the US or further afield, we’ve put together some of the top food tourism destinations that are sure to have your mouth watering.

Lisbon, Portugal

Portuguese food is really exciting: a fun mix of seafood and decadent desserts. If you’ve ever had a Pasteis de Nata, a traditional custard tart, then you’ll know what we are talking about. These originate from Pasteis de Belem in Lisbon, which is a must-visit for any foodie traveler. Bacalhau is another national dish of Portugal. This dried, salted cod is served in a variety of ways. It might be a bit of an acquired taste but it’s certainly something to try.

Naples, Italy

The home of pizza, this is a must if you love a slice. Don’t expect a deep dish or something smothered with sauce, though. The Italian approach is all about fresh ingredients and a less is more style. Think thin crusts, fresh tomatoes, basil, and oozing mozzarella. Naples is also right by the sea, so it’s certainly a food tourism haven for seafood lovers. Try a spaghetti vongole for a fresh dish packed with flavor.

Tokyo, Japan

Whilst some supposed food tourism destinations are criticized for serving watered down versions of their favorite dishes to tourists, this is certainly not something people say about Japan. In Tokyo, you’ll find traditional dishes alongside brilliant innovative techniques and twists on classics from around the world. You can also try Japanese whisky whilst you’re there, which is some of the finest in the world.

Rotterdam, The Netherlands

In 2014, the Markthal opened in the center of Rotterdam. A huge, arched structure housing 96 food stalls and restaurants, this is a great food tourism destination for a city break. The walls of the market contain a huge artwork called the Horn of Plenty, leading some to refer to the Markthal as the Sistine Chapel of Rotterdam. Here you can try plenty of Dutch cuisine as well as foods from around the world.

Ohio, US

Of course, we had to include our own state! We love getting visitors from around the world here at Shisler’s Cheese House. Ohio is renowned for its cheeses and amazing fruits and vegetables. Pop in and you’ll find a huge range of local cheeses including Ohio Swiss Cheese, alongside locally made maple syrup, Troyer’s Trail Bologna, Tony Packo’s pickles, Amish peanut butter, and Uncle Mike’s Beef Jerky. You could even head to the original Tony Packo’s over in Toledo while you’re in the state.

We hope you enjoyed our food tourism ideas. There are so many places to explore but hopefully, this will inspire you to start planning your next trip. Where would you most like to visit? Let us know in the comments!

Peanut Butter: The Perfect Addition to your Baking

By admin / Date Apr 05.2018

We love finding new baking ideas and we also love peanut butter, so today we are combining the two to share with you some fun ideas for baking with peanut butter.

Peanut Butter Cookies

Best served with a glass of milk, these are a true classic. Add peanut butter to your cookie batter or spread it on top. You can go for straight peanut butter or add chocolate – choose your favorite. Cookies also make great ice cream sandwiches!

Peanut Butter Cheesecake

Mix the peanut butter into the cheese, use peanut butter cookies in the base, or even create a peanut butter topping. You could even chop some Heggy’s Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Creams and stir them in. However you decide to bring peanut butter into your cheesecake, you know that it will be delicious.

Peanut Butter Brownies

Take your favorite brownie batter and swirl in some peanut butter. You could even add a crunchy topping with some crushed up Peanut Butter Pretzels. Try a blondie with white chocolate if you have a really sweet tooth.

Peanut Butter S’mores

Just when you thought s’mores couldn’t get any better, we added peanut butter! You can do this in a couple of different ways. Either make a normal s’more and add a smear of peanut butter to one of your graham crackers or replace your chocolate with a peanut butter cup. You could even add some caramel if you want a real treat.

5. Peanut Butter Pancakes

Pancakes aren’t just for breakfast. They make a great dessert too! This filling will work for both. Put peanut butter, chocolate chips and slices of banana in your crepes before rolling them up.

6. Peanut Butter Sundae

Create a sauce by heating 3 parts caramel, 1 part peanut butter and 1 part milk until it is smooth. Pour it into the bottom of your sundae glass. Layer it with ice cream, banana, caramel, and any other ingredients that you like. Top with a sprinkling of chopped peanuts.

7. Peanut Butter Popcorn

Combine peanut butter with syrup to drizzle over popcorn. This is a messy treat so make sure that you have cloths on hand to clean up!

8. Protein bars

If you want to create a healthier treat that will give you plenty of energy, make a peanut butter based protein bar. These can be made with peanut butter, honey, protein powder, and oatmeal, but there are lots of different recipes out there.

Have you been inspired to bake with peanut butter? Then pick up a jar of our Amish Peanut Butter Spread today. Made locally from a special blend of all natural ingredients, it’s sweet and creamy, with a soft and silky texture, perfect for baking.

If you plan to serve these at a party or take them along to an event, please be careful to ensure that no-one present has a nut allergy and always label your dish stating its ingredients. We would hate for someone’s baking to become a health risk.
