Wrapping small cheese in leaves is one of those ancient ways of preserving cheese. Melange is wrapped in wine-soaked fig leaves for Figaro. Fig leaves are edible and used as spice and tea and have a distinctive herbaceous flavor and tropical fruit scent. Infusing fig leaves in milk or cream takes a hidden coconut and vanilla scent. Many Mediterranean cooks wrap oily fish with fig leaves for grilling to perfume the flesh. Figaro is produced to express our Mediterranean-like climate, and the fig leaves perfume mixed milk cheese and give a pleasant herbaceous note.

Andante Dairy is an artisan cheese producer in Petaluma, California. Soyoung Scanlan has made cheese with the single theme, ‘pursuing the finest expression of milk and craft’ for 25 years since 1999. She works with the goat’s milk from the farm where the dairy is located and the Jersey cow’s milk from the coastal dairy in Tamales. People often think that andante means slow, but it’s the speed of your walk. As the name, Andante, indicates, she makes the cheese following the pulse of the nature and the speed she wishes to follow her own tempo.
