This spring, I’ve had a love affair with brainy goat cheeses. They appear this time of year – wrinkly, rumpled, as if they’ve just rolled out of bed – which may explain why I adore them for breakfast. Put on a pot of tea, grab the honey, pop in some toast, and prepare to be awakened with a rise-and-shiny little cheese.

March brings the Flower Show to Philadelphia, and with this year’s “British Landscapes” it seems only proper to offer you a selection of Britain’s best wedges. Should you overdose on the smell of hyacinths, you may wish to pop into Di Bruno Bros. for a sniff and nibble. (Di Bruno Bros. will be a vendor at the show, but the flagship store at 18th and Chestnut is within walking distance.)

If you’re working on your resolutions, allow me to weigh in. There’s never been a better time to explore American cheese, and with the bounty available to you from small artisans it’s high time to move beyond Cheddar and Brie. In the spirit of newness, here are five types of American cheese to try in 2013.

16Ardrahan: Cow Milk, County Cork, Ireland-The history of Ardrahan cheese begins in 1925 with the establishment of the Lullaby Milk Company.

25Humboldt Fog: Goat, Humboldt County, California-Perhaps the most recognizable of all American farmstead cheese, Humboldt Fog is made in Cypress Grove by Mary Keehn. A layer of ash, representing the fog that rolls through Humboldt County every morning, contributes to the aesthetics. Of the numerous awards and recognitions it has received, perhaps the most noble [...]

28Aged Triple Cream Goat:Goat, Hudson Valley, NY-A rich texture paired with a buttery, clean flavor separates this goat from your traditional chevre.

23Mozzarella di Bufala:Buffalo milk, Southern Italy-A staple of the southern regions of Campagna, Basilicata and Calabria, Mozzarella di Bufala is produced solely with the milk of Italian water buffalo.

23Cana de Cabra: Goat, Murcia, Spain-Aged for only 3-4 weeks, this soft-ripened goat cheese is Spain’s assertive response to Bucheron. Murcia is a region renowned for its high quality of goat milk, and Cana de Cabra is one of the finest examples. It is often presented sliced into thin rounds with a simple salad, fried [...]

23Burrata:Cow, Philadelphia, U.S.A.-An Apulian specialty now produced by DiBruno Brothers, Burrata is a fresh mozzarella stretched flat, and then wrapped around a pocked of fresh ricotta and heavy cream.

23Crottin Chavignol:Goat, Loire Valley, France -Aged for two weeks and then packed in an odorless, flavorless nitrogen gas, these Crottin Chavignol are as fresh as you can find outside of France. Pleasantly tart and milky, the terroir of the verdant Loire Valley shines through in this most famous of chevres. Knight’s Vail:Cow, Wisconsin, U.S.A.-Introduced in [...]
