If you, like many other South Africans, find yourself in front of the stove in the dark, night after night, you`re probably unlucky enough to experience the 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. load shedding session. Don`t worry: Your friends over at Fairview have come to your rescue.

Thanks to Fairview cheese, preparing dinner without electricity is no trouble at all, because their Brie and Camembert are best served at room temperature. So if you`ve been experiencing load shedding for one hour or more, chances are that the cheese in your fridge is now perfect for enjoyment. Cheese isn`t meant to be served cold; by taking it out of the fridge and allowing it to reach room temperature, you`ll soon be eating it the way Fairview`s cheesemakers intended. Add a rustic baguette, olive oil and some of Fairview`s delicious deli preserves and dinner is sorted! Add some candles and make it a romantic night in.
