CurdyGirl aims to share the love of cheese while imparting a little knowledge
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.
Why not include grilling cheeses in your grilled cheese month celebrations? Halloumi is one if the oldest Cypriot cheeses worthy of celebration, as is saganaki, the ultimate grilled cheese that you typically see doused in ouzo, lit on fire in Greek restaurants everywhere. Take a break from bread and grill some cheese!
Watch as CurdyGirl enjoys Le Secret de Maurice. Coincidentally, today would have been her uncle Maurice’s birthday, so this video is dedicated to his memory. A truly unique cheese for a truly unique individual.
