A Little About Me
My training as a cheese seller (or cheese monger in the industry) came from individuals who'd worked for Neal's Yard Dairy in London, England, and had hands on knowledge of artisanal cheese-making in Ireland. I later went on to Head my own Cheese Shop (making Who's Who Among Executive Women in for 2006 & 2007). I'm now on the internet bringing all my cheesy knowledge to you!
I consider the information and links below to be a "cheese mongers" guide to the art of gourmet cheese.

Sheep Cheese: Ancient Heritage Dairy
Sheep cheese tastes distinctive, characteristically strong, and very different from cow or goat cheese. On this family sheep farm, the making of cheese reflects a slower pace of life along with a direct connection to the land. Consuming this cheese requires a careful eating pace.

I never knew there was so much to know about good ol' cheese. A good strong mousetrap is my favorite. Great lens 5 stars. Posted July 21, 2007 |
Good luck with your website from a fellow cheesemonger.
