French cheese gets in the Valentine’s Day mood

This Valentine’s Day, why not treat your other half to a cheesy, romantic night in? And no, we don’t mean a night in with Chris de Burgh; we’re actually talking about the perfect romantic meal for two, completed by the wonderfully creamy and very appropriately heart-shaped Neufchâtel cheese.
Neufchâtel is a delicious, mild but rich cheese that will make your chérie melt with amour, especially when she hears about its history. Legend has it that its shape is the result of young French women from Normandy wanting to secretly declare their love to the English soldiers during the Norman One Hundred Year war.

As if this wasn’t enough, a romantic cheese course has other added benefits too; ladies, you will literally be ‘glowing’ after you devour some of these goodies. Cheese is a natural source of Selenium, which is great for your hair skin and nails. It is also an antioxidant as well as having anti-aging affects.  According to John D. Kirschmann, of the Nutrition Almanac, it may also improve energy and mood levels, so you’ll be bright-eyed, ready for a night of romance.

So go the extra mile – it’s the little finishing touches that make all the difference – and charm your other half with Neufchâtel this Valentine’s Day.
