College football in the South is a way of life (and some might say religion). Fans take their teams\u2014and tailgating\u2014seriously. It\u2019s not uncommon for spectators to roll in to a stadium a week early, set up camp, and start tailgating. But before that happens, the menu must be chosen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #666666; font-family: freight-sans-pro, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;\">Many customers order custom cheese boards and charcuterie platters from V.

Where do you buy your favorite wedge? How are your veggies grown? Who\u2019s your butcher? For many of us, the answer is probably the nearest grocery store. For others, like Tyler Akabane of the Boston-based mushroom delivery service\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mushroomsformyfriends.com\/\" data-uw-rm-kbnav=\"click\">Mushrooms For My Friends<\/a>, the answer is foraging.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #666666; font-family: freight-sans-pro, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;\">\u201c[Foraging provides] new and different flavors that [aren\u2019t] possible from store-bought foods,\u201d says Akabane. What started as a clever Instagram handle and a friendship with Boston\u2019s original mushroom man, Ben Maleson, has since evolved into hands-on field classes, supplying top-notch restaurants like Somerville-based\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tastingcounter.com\/\" data-uw-rm-kbnav=\"click\">Tasting Counter<\/a>\u00a0with flawless fungi, and the pandemic-friendly food delivery Akabane recently developed. When it comes to finding your own foraged goodies, consult a pro: nature\u2019s bounty can be poisonous (like certain mushrooms, berries, and greens), but the experts will help you get the good stuff. Check your local farmers\u2019 market or specialty food store for wild accompaniments like those below or take advantage of services like Akabane\u2019s mushroom mobile to get hyper-local treats delivered to your door.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8b8f880 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8b8f880\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c362a64\" data-id=\"c362a64\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-abf52dd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"abf52dd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 style=\"color: #666666; font-family: freight-sans-pro, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;\">1.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oldchathamcreamery.com\/our-cheeses\" data-uw-rm-kbnav=\"click\">OLD CHATHAM CREAMERY CLASSIC CAMEMBERT<\/a><\/h4>\n<p style=\"color: #666666; font-family: freight-sans-pro, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;\"><em>Origin: Old Chatham, New York<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #666666; font-family: freight-sans-pro, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;\"><em>Milk: Raw Sheep and Cow\u2019s Milk<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #666666; font-family: freight-sans-pro, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;\">+ ELDERBERRY SYRUP<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #666666; font-family: freight-sans-pro, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;\">\u201cElderberry loves the edges of wetlands,\u201d says Akabane.

Preserve part of your mushroom haul (meaty varieties like hen-of-the-wood and chanterelles work best) by making veg-friendly jerky\u2014cook in soy, sugar, and garlic, then dehydrate the \u2018shrooms until they\u2019re leather-like.

Akabane recommends collecting your leaves in the spring (garlic mustard, dandelion greens or wild chives, but radish and carrot tops work too), blitzing in the food processor with Parmesan, salt, pepper, and plenty of oil, then freezing in an air-tight container until you\u2019re ready to use. Your homemade foraged greens pesto will keep for nine to 12 months when frozen and can be defrosted for autumnal cheese plates and beyond!

Even those available commercially are hand-harvested in the wild. If you\u2019re lucky enough to have a tree in your neighborhood, be aware that their exceptionally hard shell makes them literally a tough nut to crack, says Akabane, who has found them at farmers\u2019 markets as cracked pieces in the shell.

font-family: freight-sans-pro, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;\">While many kids dream of growing up to be doctor or a firefighter, there\u2019s a reason why you won\u2019t find a cheesemonger outfit among the Halloween costumes at the big box store: people in the cheese world often come to it from an entirely different profession. Jenn Mason was working in consumer research for enterprise companies, looking for a way to transition her skills to something more fulfilling when she hosted a wine and cheese tasting party for her 45th birthday. The party had a competitive twist: guests were tasked with creating pairings and presenting them to her. \u201cWe had people doing it in Yiddish, and Irish brogue, and like a\u00a0<em>Saturday Night Live\u00a0<\/em>skit\u2014I ended up having the most amazing evening of my life,\u201d Mason says.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #666666; font-family: freight-sans-pro, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;\">The party was the push she needed. After extensive research and a weekend at the Cheese School of San Francisco, she opened her now five-year-old cheese shop,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.curdsandco.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-uw-rm-kbnav=\"click\">Curds and Co.<\/a>, in the Boston suburb of Brookline, Massachusetts. Six months later, she launched Curdbox, which offers a monthly subscription box with cheeses and pairings, accompanied by a tasting guide, a Spotify playlist and an \u201ceat-along\u201d podcast featuring Mason and her friend, artist Julie Fei-Fan Balzer. Most recently she introduced\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/shopboardsandco.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-uw-rm-kbnav=\"click\">Boards and Co.<\/a>, a free, interactive online resource where anyone can learn about cheese, pairing, and board building. \u201cWe\u2019ve taken everything we\u2019ve learned over the last five years and made it really accessible,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s written in language that the everyday customer can understand, and it was never dumbed down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #666666; font-family: freight-sans-pro, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;\">The first step on Boards and Co. is to take a quiz to learn your \u201ccheese board personality.\u201d There are seven, each with its own spokesperson and avatar; for example, Cleo is \u201cThe Maximalist\u201d and Jackson is \u201cThe Artist.\u201d Mason and her team have also renamed the traditional cheese categories to make them more approachable. Cooked and pressed cheeses are \u201csmooth and melty,\u201d cheddar and gouda are \u201cfriendly and flexible,\u201d and \u201cbloomy and brainy\u201d are the bries and geotrichum-rind cheeses. Each category is similarly tagged with the flavor profiles that make good pairings. \u201cIt\u2019s like mix and match,\u201d she says. \u201cYou can pick your cheese and it will say it goes with sweet, salty, and sour, and then you can go to the shelves, where everything is labeled accordingly. We want everyone to walk out feeling like a genius.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #666666; font-family: freight-sans-pro, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;\">Pairings and experimenting with confidence are at the heart of Mason\u2019s business. \u201cWe want cheese to be accessible and some cheeses need a partner to be accessible,\u201d she says. \u201cThat\u2019s why it\u2019s Curds \u2018and\u2019 Co.; it\u2019s cheese and the company it keeps.\u201d Mason and her team created the following pairings, which are themed \u201cCitrus and Spice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #666666; font-family: freight-sans-pro, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;\"><strong>1\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/culturecheesemag.com\/cheese-library\/Fromager-dAffinois\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"FROMAGER D\u2019AFFINOIS FLORETTE - opens in new tab\" data-uw-rm-ext-link=\"\">FROMAGER D\u2019AFFINOIS FLORETTE<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0Origin: P\u00e9lussin, France Milk: Pasteurized goat<br role=\"presentation\" data-uw-rm-sr=\"\" \/>+\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gocraize.com\/products\/plantain-2\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-uw-rm-kbnav=\"click\">CRAIZE PLANTAIN CRACKERS<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #666666; font-family: freight-sans-pro, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;\">The wrinkly-rind goat milk member of this family of easy-to-love cheeses \u201cis like the sequel of a movie that\u2019s actually better than the original,\u201d says Mason.
