• Higher Ground: Don't Chop Down the Cherry Tree

A young lady stopped me in the dairy section of the grocery store recently and said, "Hey, aren't you that high-altitude chef-guy? I've been having trouble whipping cream since I moved here and I'm making a chocolate mousse for an Oscar award's party tonight that calls for 2 cups," she continued. "Should I buy whipping cream or heavy cream? Sometimes even preparation techniques you would not think would be affected by our altitude are, in fact, somehow impacted. My answer: "Whipping cream has a milk-fat content of 30 to 36 percent, whereas heavy cream has a milk-fat content of between 36 to 40 percent, so use the heavy cream as it will make a denser, richer whipped cream -- and pre-chill the bowl and beaters to speed up the process."

• Mozzarella Is Mild and Mellow

Legend has it that mozzarella (maht-suh-REHL-lah) was born when a clumsy cheese maker dropped curds into hot whey. It's a credible story: Mozzarella belongs to a cheese category known as "stretched- curd." It's made by warming curds in hot whey, then pulling them like taffy to achieve a texture that's slightly elastic. Mozzarella hails from Southern Italy, where it cozied up to pizza. Originally, it was made from the milk of water buffalo, which has a higher fat content than cow's milk. Mozzarella di Bufala is still favored by gourmets. Mozzarella fior di latte is the more economical cow's milk version. Both of these mild, fresh cheeses are soft and high in moisture, best eaten within days of production. Low-moisture mozzarella, the dense cheese sold in blocks and ...

Everyone identified the Sassy Cow organic skim milk correctly. It was decidedly more complex than your run-of-the-mill skim. We judged the Sassy to be "clearly skim, but not so thin-tasting," packing a "slight but pleasant chalk" taste, "alkaline," "austere" and "well balanced." The Trader Joe's whole vitamin D also stood out (tastes like cream, man). Somewhat unexpectedly, we also reached consensus on goat milk, which didn't taste at all goat-y. We couldn't find a local supplier, so tried the Meyenberq ultra-pasteurized vitamin D, finding it "dense, rich," "powerful," "nearly as rich as cream," "nutty" and "full of flavor." Tastes great, and goat milk has lower impact on the environment than cow's milk as the animals need less space to graze. It also has a higher fat content of a diffe...

• Paying for the Privilege Continuing Milk Pricing Discussion

For the first time since January, the Statistical Uniform Milk Price has exceeded $13, which is 22 percent higher than in March when it fell to its lowest at $10.73. The SUP is comprised of the Class III milk price and the Producer Price Differential, which represents the base price dairymen in Federal Order 33 receive per hundred pounds of milk. The actual price for each farm varies depending on fat, protein, and other solid content.

• Dining Out: Citta Gelato & Cafe

If I tell you gelato's fat content technically makes it more like ice milk than ice cream, don't believe me. Otherwise, you might not try it -- and that would be a shame. One of the newest of the gelaterias opening lately in the valley is Citta Gelato & Cafe, a pleasant little place set into a strip mall in Sandy. The owners of Citta learned gelato-making in Italy, and their training shows.
