The Cheese Cave Prepares for KaBoom Fest

Red Bank’s the Cheese Cave at 14 Monmouth Street is well-stocked and prepared to feed hungry revelers as they descend on Red Bank for KaBoom Fest.

Stephen Catania, the owner of the cheese cave has prepared a sampler platter of six cheeses and dried fruits. They even provide the plastic forks, knives and napkins. The platters go for $19.95, $14.95 if you have their coupon from the KaBoom Fest book. A description of the cheeses is included with the platter, which is really a nice to-go box kept refrigerated until the customer purchases it and brings it on down to Kaboom Fest.

Cheeses include Pata Cabra, a goat cheese from Spain with a firm texture and smooth pungent flavor, a sheep’s milk Manchego with a flowery, nutty aroma rounds out the Spanish offerings.  Fromage de Meaux is a cow’s milk cheese with buttery, mushroom-like characteristics giving it a deeper, more complex flavor than traditional
mass-produced Bries.

The final three chesses include a cow’s milk Fontina from Italy, A Quickes farmhouse Cheddar from England and a Foenegreek Gouda from Wisconsin.

So if you’re heading for KaBoom Fest and looking for something
a little different, swing by the cheese cave on Monmouth Street before heading over to Marine Park.
