The accolades keep rolling in with each new wheel of Beecher's Handmade Cheese (1600 Pike Place, Seattle, 206-956-1964). The artisan cheesemakers at Beecher's already took home first place earlier this year for cheddar aged 12 to 24 months at the prestigious American Cheese Society awards, and a gold medal for their Marco Polo cheese at the World Cheese Awards. Last week their Beecher's Flagship (a creamy combination of cheddar and gruyere) took first place in the best semihard cow's milk cheese category during a blind taste test at the inaugural American Cheesemaker Awards in Newport Beach, Calif.
Croissants cross over the bridge
Bakery Nouveau's (4737 California Ave S.W., Seattle, 206-923-0534) award-winning croissants no longer are confined to West Seattle. Metropolitan Market is selling a variety of Nouveau's baked treats (plain, chocolate, cherry-almond and turkey-Swiss croissants plus sugar and chocolate chip brioche, raspberry-apple Danish and pain au raisin) at its Queen Anne, Uptown, Sand Point and Admiral stores. Met Market spokeswoman Ilga Westberg says the grocery chain likely will add Nouveau's breads early next year.
