I am a gray-striped tuxedo cat that lives with The Lady and The Man. The Man and I hangout together during the day because The Lady is a Cheese Steward for a National Food Chain. She brings cheese home for me to sample and review.
In my spare time, when I’m neither napping nor sampling cheese, I observe humankind behavior and report to The Brain and The MotherShip. I am a Commander in the Pacific Northwest Quadrant of North America, sent here from a galaxy far, far away to watch and comment on the strange behaviors of the humankind…
You can also follow The Lady and me at Twitter. We tweet at Twitter as “cheesemonger”.

Hey cat ! You sure make a good book when you do a blog. At first I was going to print it out but then, I decided to wait and see where this thing would lead. I got a Lady from Maine who sleeps on my chair and she loves to throw up after cheese.

I’ve loved wine & cheese my entire life. Nice site. You are, madam, missing my favorite new cheese. It is a domestic American, Tillamook Garlic. {not pepper or horseradish, but “Garlic”}
The flavor and wine mixing is something fantastic. A total surprise and quite unexpected. I’m not sure how this cheese company arrived at the exact perfect point of fresh garlic mix, but it must be some kind of science… Try it if you can find it.
Also, for those of us watching our diet (fresh quality and calorie amount), this is the only cheese that satisfies my desire and saves me from over-eating just to be satisfied.
By the way- this is an Oregon Cheese company. I believe they are basically near organic, but not completely certain of that. Need to check more.

Isabella, I am familiar with Tillamook cheeses and will add the garlic flavor to the chart – thanks for your comments; it is appreciated.

I am trying to locate Tillamook curd in Portland ASAP, for a customer from out of State.
Is there an outlet that would carry curd somewhere in the Portland area?
I am in North Portland now.
Thank You,
Mike K

Hi Cheesemonger–
I really like your blog. I am also a longtime cheesemonger, and have considered doing something like this myself. I stumbled upon you when doing research on Beemster cheeses, and I couldn’t be happier! Thanks for sharing!

Workshops, masterclasses, discussions with farmers, sharing know how, tasting products (and wine)
What could be better?
Greatings and…have a good..slow..day
