New cheese for 2012 (but already sold out!)

We are totally committed to our sheep milk cheeses here at Bleating Heart, but the sheep milk is seasonal, subjecting us to a long dry spell. Even when things get going again, it takes a while for the milk to really start flowing enough to meet our needs. So what’s an insatiable cheesemaker to do? Well, we had to look for some extra milk action on the side. We fulfilled our bawdy appetite by stepping out and getting some luscious jersey cow milk to mix with our beloved sheep milk.

2011 trip to Corsica

Our big trip in the Spring of 2011 was spending two weeks on the amazing and beautiful island of Corsica, where most of the cheese is made from sheep milk, along with some goat too (no cows there). We were just blown away by the dedication to local products in every shop and store we visited, even supermarkets, which all had completely dedicated sections for Corsican cheeses.

Created in 2011, this cheese is called "Shepherdista" which is a play on the words 'shepherd' and 'fashionista' as inspired by my commitment to infuse my own style and flair into my new-found agricultural pursuits....silver farm boots? Damn right. A pink cheese room apron? Naturally.
