More incredible cheese...


Apparently goats like Sony XDCAM cameras.  I don't know what the goat thought it was going to taste like, but she was ready to leap the fence to find out!  It gives me an idea for a new Sony commercial though:  "Sony...quality you can taste!"

Cutting the curd at Sweet Grass Dairy

Our latest adventure brought us down to south-west Georgia to the thriving little town of Thomasville.  Not only did we get to sample some of the world's best cheeses at Sweet Grass Dairy, we also sampled even MORE cheese at a fun little restaurant downtown called Liam's.  And when lunch was over, we went back to the dairy and ate even MORE cheese.  There's very little you can complain about when you have that much cheese on the agenda.    

Beautiful cheese aging in one of the cellars at Sweetgrass...

I know I've said it before, but there's something downright magic about the cheese making process.  The very notion that you can transform something as liquid as milk into something as complex and intricate as cheese is simply remarkable.  The amount of time and energy that goes into each handcrafted batch of cheese at Sweet Grass translates directly into the number of awards their cheeses have received.  

Much to do...time for cheese!  More soon...

Gesundheit,

Hans
