First up was Bobolink where we got to meet Nina and several girls who work on the farm as well as learn some things about their cheese making process, the farm itself and of course sampling some of the goods including their cheddar (which is remarkable) and a cheese they call Frolic, which is subtle and refined. Both great cheeses. We also bought a loaf of their duck fat and garlic ciabatta which was beyond phenomenal. Truly excellent.
Afterwards we stopped at a little Italian Ice shop on the side of the road and then afterwards to the Pennings farm to pick up some fresh strawberries. Yum!
After that, we headed over to The Cheese Works where we got to meet the terrific Joyce Kahn, my sales rep, who had a table/room full of items to try. She went through the process of cutting up some cheeses and really trying to get a gauge on what my tastes were and how best to accomodate the needs of the shop. She was great and we all came away with a real love for both Joyce and the products the company has to offer.
Here are some photos of our day...
