The Campanile cheese menu early this month had five cheeses, among them Sara's Nevat; Roaring Forties Blue, a cow's milk blue cheese from Tasmania; and Serra de Estrela, a sheep's milk cheese from Portugal. During two review visits, Australian cheeses were picked as endings, one a superb triple cream cow cheese called Seal Bay, the other a really good blue cheese titled Roaring Forties. Floor pieces made of reddish or brownish plates can look as soft and welcoming as wood: Roaring Forties, 1988, in weathered cold-rolled steel, 23 meters long, lay in a wide corridor at the Musee Cantini, stretching out into the distance like a red carpet to a transcendental destination. |
