The Derby Story
In the 1960's Fred Abood,
restaurateur extraordinaire, consistently served his patrons the finest cuisine
at his famous steakhouse, known as the Green Derby restaurant in Jacksonville,
Florida. Dinner began with cocktails and Fred's Green Derby Cocktail Cheese,
served with toasted Zwieback bread. The "secret" recipe was often
imitated but never duplicated.
Years after the restaurant closed, requests still came in for the delectable cheese. What began as filling holiday orders for friends and family has become a year-round venture.
My dad would be proud to know that I had been asked many times in the past to make the cocktail cheese and have now made it available year round. To those of you who may remember the Green Derby restaurant, hopefully the fond memories will come flowing back once you taste and savor this delicious cheese. For those of you who have not tried this delicious cheese, you will not be disappointed!
This makes a nice gift for any occasion and during the holidays.
I hope you enjoy!!
