I’m using stock images but I am always on the lookout for new cheeses to try whenever I go to the store. Credit to various cheese websites, resources, and sellers for the cheese images and cheese facts. If any of you know some cheeses that I haven’t done yet I would love some input!
Here is your daily cheese facts: This cheese is made by Back Forty Artisan Cheese. Verona Percorino is a hard Italian inspired raw sheep milk cheese which is pressed and naturally aged on pine between 9 – 15 months. The rind is frequently cleaned and brushed with extra virgin olive oil, a process which prevents excessive moisture loss allowing Verona to retain a more subtle texture than Parmesan making it an ideal choice both on the table or grated. Although subtle, the raw sheep milk and prolonged maturing provide a complexity of flavour – sweet and nutty with underlying earth tones. Named after the quint town of Verona, which lies in the heart of Eastern Ontario’s cottage country, half way between Kingston and Sharbot Lake
Also as a note: I post my daily cheese here as well as in my r/dailycheese subreddit.
