This Week's Tasting: May 17, 2019

Every week at Dairymaids we select six cheeses to include in our free cheese tasting.
Whenever we are open, we are tasting cheese. We stock over 150! 

This week's featured cheese is Blu di Pecora by the Perla cheesemakers. This Tuscan blue is made from 100% Piedmontese Alps sheep's milk. With a natural rind, it is smooth in texture and flavor with the distinctive notes of sheep's milk.
