Cheese, Glorious Cheese


While I was in Courtenay today I visited a cheese shop and factory.

Now I have never heard of natural pastures and don't think I ever tried the cheeses. But today I went in and sampled at least 8 kinds of cheese and was it ever lovely. They have their own special milk, and process and the result is these mouth-watering local cheeses.

I couldn't decide, but I finally went with the one with cumin inside it. I just popped some of it between two tortillas and warmed and toasted it in a cast-iron frying pan, cut it into small wedges and we had the best afternoon snack we have had in some time.

We don't eat a lot of cheese, it is pricey and has too much fat for general everyday consumption, but we sure do enjoy our cheese fiestas when we have them.
