A celebrated sheep cheese from this island of Oléron. Olive Cream _U.S.A._ Ground olives mixed to taste with cream cheese. Olives rival pimientos for such mildly piquant blends that just suit the bland American taste. A more exciting olive cream may be made with Greek Calatma olives and Feta sheep cheese. Olivet _Orléans, France_ Soft sheep cheese sold in three forms: I. Fresh; summer, white; cream cheese. II. Olivet-Bleu--mold inoculated; half-ripened. III. Olivet-Cendré, ripened in the ashes. Season, October to June. Olmützer Quargel, also Olmützer Bierkäse _Austria_ Soft; skim milk-soured; salty. The smallest of hand cheeses, only 1/2 of an inch thick by 1-1/2 inches in diameter. Packed in kegs to ripen into beer cheese and keep the liquid contents of other kegs company. A dozen of these little ones are packed together in a box ready to drop into wine or beer drinks at home or at the bar. Oloron, or Fromage de la Vallee d'ossour _Béarn, France_ |
