Art in the Age gets into the queso game

Old City's Art in the Age (116 N. Third St.) is known for many things, most notably its ROOT and SNAP boozes. But now, with the help of Di Bruno Bros., they're branching out into the world of cheese — a special ROOT-washed Winnimere is now available at the Italian Market (930 S. Ninth St.) and Rittenhouse (1730 Chestnut St.) Di Bruno's locations. Prepared by Vermont's Jasper Hill Farm, the Winnimere is a semi-soft cow's milk cheese that's been brushed regularly with the root beer-like liqueur during its two-month maturation. Wrapping the cheese in spruce bark lends an especially woodsy flavor; the end result has also got a bit of crunch courtesy of crystalized amino acids. The cheese runs $29.99 a pound; if you're not willing to commit just yet, give it a test run at Di Bruno's Ardmore Farmers Market stand on April 9 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
