"Wine, cheese, and bread…that’s pretty much all you need to survive."
Max McCalman in his book The Cheese Plate, wrote “wine, cheese, and bread…that’s pretty much all you need to survive.”
I like that. We live at a time when the choices of what we eat are limitless.
But Americans are becoming increasingly aware of the joys of good, simple, natural foods. We like to know where the food we eat comes from and what went into it.
Along with ingredients, an area’s climate, weather, soil, and water all help to create a distinct flavor. This is referred to as terroir. That is why the region in which food is produced is so important.
One of the pleasures of making cheese is watching a customer take a sample. Taste is highly individualized and you don’t have to be a connoisseur to appreciate good cheese.
We received a letter from Tom Serio thanking us for the cheese we sent him. He also thanked us for a memory. He reminisced about eating cheese with his grandfather. When he unwrapped the cheese he ordered, smelled and tasted it, he was instantly back in his grandfather’s kitchen having a slice with him. He hadn’t been able to find anything similar for forty years.
That’s why we do what we do. We hope you enjoy eating our cheese as much as we enjoy making it.
Enjoy!
