The wonderful staff at the shop encouraged us to try ANYTHING we wanted. And we politely obliged. I was most focused on the sheep cheeses. I still haven't gotten around to milking Cat and Maggie, but I'm hoping to start that venture soon. I've had other sheep cheeses in the past, but why forgo an opportunity to try a few more? I settled on the wonderful Ossau-Iraty cheese from the Basque region of France. It's is superbly creamy with a little nutty flavor - supposedly a hallmark of sheep cheeses (I'm no connoisseur...yet!).
The store also carries some great local dairies including CKC Farms (goat cheeses) and Brazos Valley Cheese Co (the wonderful people who taught me to make cheese!). It really inspired me to get back into the art after being so down trodden because of the regulations. I'm now more excited than ever for the milking season to begin. Should be really really soon! Shelli was due yesterday and Maxie today. Come on girls!
Be sure to stop in a give this place a try. I'd love to have a local outlet like that if we ever do "go big". Support our local businesses!
