Yep, that's me. Wasn't sure if I was supposed to smile or be serious. Sorta like for high school team photos, I guess.
Anyway, spent 8 hours today at the caves for Neals Yard Dairy. Dave was my trainer and instructor for the day. He is an awesome Aussie with a cheesemaker background. It's one of three locations they have found here. On the agenda: a grand tour, meeting the staff, washing cheeses, flipping cheeses, and tasting cheeses.
I took a lot of photos, but want to share just a couple. Definitely more to come!!!
The Offices - Adjacent to the Caves
One of the many Cheese Shelves - with charts & thermometers
The tasting crew taking notes
It was a nice hard working shift - I had a lot of fun and learned a lot (thanks to Dave & Vio). Tomorrow, another cheese shift with a special visit from my FAVORITE goat's milk cheesemaker, Mary Holbrook. If you haven't had her cheese, then you are missing out on something truly special - my favorite: Old Ford.
Cheers!
