Stories of (cheese) travels

Corsica 2011

Submitted by Seana on Fri, 10/21/2011 - 22:52

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.

Map of Operation Sheep-O-Rama - Sebastopol, CA to River Falls, WI

Here is the story of my journey from the Bay Area of California all the way to River Falls, WI to pick up my sheep. Along for the ride was my sister Jennifer, who was equally lacking in experience with driving a big ass 4x4 truck or driving in snowy/icy road conditions, let alone with livestock on board. So here's the lowdown on the 1 truck, 2 girls, 5 days, 10 sheep, and 4,200 miles that were......Operation Sheep-O-Rama.

Trip to the town of Roquefort in France, where they make the legendary and super delicious Roquefort blue cheese. The limestone caves were so awesome, and look at those gnarly aging shelves!

Cheese Availability

Sheep milk is seasonal, dairy ewes only produce milk for about 6 months out of the year. This means our sheep cheeses are seasonal as well, with availability from spring through fall. From time to time we also make cow milk cheeses and mixed milk cheeses, with intermittent year round availability, it mainly depends on how much space we have in our aging rooms. As our cheeses come in and out of availability, we will announce it here and on the Bleating Heart Facebook page. If you are looking to buy our cheese, click on the Buy Cheese menu link above.

Cheese is fun.
