To find and purchase these cheeses, just a few simple tips:

1. Check out their website, many makers sell online

2. ASK YOUR CHEESEMONGER, they are really receptive to requests. If they can get it, they will

3. Go directly to the producer if they have a store. ROAD TRIP!!!

On the side, I work with Cheese Grotto. A Cheese Grotto is a "humidor" for your cheese. It is a device designed by Jessica Sennet that allows you to keep your cheeses unwrapped and on the counter for short term, or in the fridge for longer term storage. There is a brick in the bottom of each Grotto which you soak in water and this adds the necessary humidity to the Grotto for the cheeses. I have two of them, the Piatto (lovingly named Waldo because he travels with me) and the Classico who is named Gretta the Grotto. It is both dangerous and wonderful to have Gretta, on the counter, stocked with some delicious cheeses at arms length, ready to be consumed at any moment. Please check out the website here: Cheese Grotto. And when you are ready to check out, use promo code FORAGETOFROMAGE for 10% off your order, one time use.
