California Artisan Cheese Festival - Cheese Tour
The 7th Annual California Artisan Cheese Festival was March 22-24, 2013. As part of the festivities, we embarked on a cheese tour, visiting two local cheese makers.
And we're so glad that we did.
What's new in the cheese guide?
We are adding new cheeses to the cheese guide all the time. Here's what's new so far in January:
Beaver Classic
Beaver Cheese made in Oregon?
Okay, not as exotic as you might think, but still exiting that Oregon State University students are learning how to make great cheese.
Can you freeze cheese?
We wanted to know, Can you freeze cheese?
We froze 3 types of cheeses, and compared them to the same types of cheese that had never been frozen.

Villajos Artisan Manchego Cheese
When the nice folks at La Tienda read our from last month on Rosemary Manchego, they sent us a note urging us to try their Artisan Manchego. We obliged, and we are so glad we did. This is some good stuff.
Funny Cheese Commercials
We found a whole bunch of funny cheese advertisements
(Well, technically, the last two are only sort of cheese related.)
Hope you enjoy.
Cow vs. Water Buffalo
Most Mozzarella cheese is made from cow milk, but did you know that traditionally it is made from the milk of water buffalo?
Which one tastes better? We tried both. Read more to see which one we liked best.
