Herma’s News – Gifts, Wreaths, Recipe, Cheese, Coronation Day Celebration and More
Come, gentle night. Come, loving, black-browed night. Give me my Romeo and, when I shall die, take him and cut him out in little stars. And he will make the face of heaven so fine that all the world will be in love with night… –
Gifts of Love
Gifts come in many forms. Love, gratitude, friendship and a helping hand are the best gifts, however, sometimes a beautifully wrapped, well-chosen gift can communicate how we feel more than words can express. That is where we hope to be of some help.

Herma’s Cheese Shop
Shropshire Blue
Shropshire Blue Cheese is an orange-coloured semi-firm blue cheese from England that looks lovely on a cheese platter. Similar to a Stilton, this blue is sharper and stronger, with a rich, creamy and smooth texture. Pair with Cabernet Sauvignon.
Raclette de Compton
Excited to offer this lovely Raclette from Quebec which is a farm organic cheese made from cow’s milk ripened for 60 to 90 days. It is a semi-soft cheese that is supple with great melting properties along with butter and chestnut flavours.
You have probably heard about using melted Raclette to pour over potatoes or to have a Raclette party grilling foods and scraping melted cheese on top of veggies and the like. I personally simply love Raclette poured over caramelized onion and crusty baguette. Yum!
Consider Grilled Cheese Croutons
Another idea for your Raclette? Try creating grilled cheese croutons for your soup. Create the grilled cheese sandwiches cooking both sides of buttered bread with cheese in middle about 4 minutes in skillet, both sides, until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted. Cut sandwiches into 1/2″x 1/2″ cubes and serve alongside and in a mild, brothy soup.
We are also happy to offer triple creams like Chateau Bourgogne. If enjoying it at breakfast, high tea or for dessert consider pairing with our NEW Preservatory Strawberry & Rose Jam.
