Treacle Tarts and Seedy Oat Bread for the kings Feast at Avalon Faire in Kilgore, Texas.

Treacle tart is a classic British dessert featuring a rich, buttery pastry crust—here crafted as a delicate shortbread—filled with a luscious blend of golden syrup (light treacle), fresh breadcrumbs, lemon juice, eggs, and cream. Traditionally served warm with clotted cream or ice cream, it offers a perfect balance of deep sweetness and bright citrus notes. As it cools, the filling takes on a soft, chewy texture reminiscent of a fine biscuit. Long cherished as a traditional nursery pudding, it is perhaps most famously known as the favorite dessert of Harry Potter

Out of the press this morning.

Montasio — a time-honored Italian cow’s milk cheese from the northern regions of Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Veneto. Young (Fresco), it’s soft, creamy, and gentle on the palate. With time, it deepens into something richer—nutty, slightly sharp, and full of character (Mezzano and aged). A true workhorse cheese, equally at home on the table, melted into dishes, or grated over a hearty meal.

After curd development, the curds are transferred into molds and pressed for 12½ hours to form the wheel. From there, the wheel begins its finishing process—air drying for 24 hours, turned every 8–12 hours, followed by a soak in saturated brine (4 hours per pound). It is then air dried once more for another 24 hours before being placed into the cave to age and develop its character.

From our cave to your table… in time.

My latest baking venture. It turned out great. I'm rather impressed with myself considering I didn't even know what treacle was last week.

Gruyère fresh out of the press.

Gruyère is a traditional Swiss, semi-hard cheese made from cow's milk, known for its nutty, savory, and slightly sweet flavor that becomes more complex with age, developing a firm, dense texture that melts beautifully. It's a staple in dishes like fondue and French onion soup, and its flavor profile ranges from creamy and mild when young to earthy and assertive when aged, with small cracks and few "eyes" (holes)
