Real California Milk: Cheese Mania Showcase

Assalamualaikum & Hi!

Cheese Mania Showcase: A Feast for the Senses Feast, Fun, and Flavors!

 So glad that I've given a chance to attend The Natural Cheese Mania Showcase, hosted by Real California Milk, at Double Tree Hotel The Intermark Kuala Lumpur. 

This 'CHEESY' event allowed us, the attendees, to participate in engaging activities, enjoyed a variety of delectable cheesy prizes and mouth-watering cheese dishes throughout the event.

Guests also received lovely door gift goodie bag and a special welcome drink KL Fog Mocktail with CC Foam (super delicious), while enjoying the captivating cheese product showcase.

Real California Cheese 

This time 'round, we were allowed to explore an array of Real California Milk natural cheeses, ranging from the commodity to artisan cheeses. 

Guests were thoroughly impressed by the wide choice of natural California cheese products from brands like Food for Friends, Fiscalini, Sierra Nevada, Point Reyes for their diverse flavours and culinary applications. It is not surprising that Real California Cow's Milk Cheeses won 31

Awards at the recent American Cheese Society Meeting.

Another crowd favourite was the interactive photobooth with props and slogans promoting Real California Milk. Guests were encouraged to share their photos on social media using the hashtags #RealCaliforniaMilkMY, #RealCaliforniaMilk, and #RealCaliforniaCheese.

California cheeses are made from high quality milk that is the result of good weather condition, good diet (grain fed cows), good water and good exercise. California is the top dairy producing state in the United States. The dairy plants undergo strict USDA inspections to ensure they follow the strict government regulations with high food safety standard.

Food Tasting Session

During the event, lucky us, we were served with varieties of hand crafted menu.

Chef Barbara from California then took the stage to present a scrumptious 5-course meal with a simple demo to the guests that were made with California natural cheeses.

One with Chef Barbara 

Dishes included Arancini Crab Fried Rice with Spicy Mango Sauce, Everything But The Bagel Cheesy Potato Blintz with Fresh Herb Salad, The Original California X Rendang Lasagne and Petite Wedge Salad with Blue Cheese.

Cheese Tasting 

Then, it was time for guests to sink their teeth into some delectable cheeses during a dedicated tasting session. They were given a chance to savour six distinct types of cheese: Cheddar Sharp, Monterey Jack, Creamy Jalapeno Jack, Smokehouse Jack, Truffle Toma, and Blue Cheese. The unique qualities and flavors of each variety were highlighted, giving them an insight into the finer qualities of each cheese variety.

DIY Cheese Board

The event transitioned into another activity where guests enthusiastically engaged in creating their

DIY cheese boards, adding a personal and enjoyable touch to the event. With guidance, they learned how to arrange a variety of cheeses and ingredients in visually appealing displays.

The atmosphere was lively with smiles and laughter as everyone explored their creativity in this DIY cheese board activity. After completing their boards, guests were requested to snap a picture of their creation and upload it into the social as part of Cheese Mania's social contest.

During this activity, five lucky winners who shared the posts will be picked and awarded the Limited Edition Cheese Board as prizes. Additionally, Chef Barbara personally selected three creative winners from the DIY Cheese Board contest. This added an extra layer of excitement and recognition to the event, celebrating creativity and participation among the attendees. The winners undoubtedly felt excited taking home the biggest Limited Edition Cheese Board as prize from Chef Barbara herself.

The event concluded with a group photo to commemorate the occasion. Each guest also took home yet another parting goodie bag, a cooler bag containing four types of delicious cheese: Monterey Jack, Cheddar Mild, Cheddar Sharp, and Pepper Jack, allowing them to continue enjoying the flavours of Real California Milk at home.
