Greeks eat more cheese per capita than any other nation in the world, so it is worth exploring the variety that exists. Graviera Kritis (PDO) is a lovely sheep’s milk cheese from the mountainous regions of Crete. Delicious and nutty, affordable, and low sodium to boot, this cheese is always a good buy.
I simply adore Brebichon, a farmstead sheep’s milk cheese that is oh so creamy, delicate and luscious. This apple washed cheese is an absolute must buy on every stop I make to Fromagerie Atwater in Montreal.
This organic, unpasteurized cheese made from the milk of Brown Swiss cows by Fromagerie au Gre des Champs is one of the most luscious, gorgeous mild lactic cheeses I’ve tasted in ages. Sexy and fantastic!
The Great Canadian Cheese Festival provides a great opportunity to introduce Canada’s cheesemakers to the public at large. At the recent festival I was introduced to the great team from Five Brothers Artisan Cheese who make cheese out in St. John’s, Newfoundland. They are known throughout St. John’s local food scene, so it’s time for them to get some exposure on a national scale. I enjoyed some of their queso fresco, a perfect summertime cheese.
April is grilled cheese month, so lets celebrate! Raclette de Compton aux 5 Poivres from Fromagerie La Station in Quebec plays nicely in a cheeseburger grilled cheese! Get creative with your grilled cheese adventures and see what awesome combinations you come up with.
