Cheese
- Pepato Fresco from Monforte Dairy Company in Perth County (Stratford). This is a delicious pasteurized sheep’s milk cheese.
Cheese maker Ruth Klahsen impresses the rind of this soft, creamy cheese with copious layers of zesty fragrant peppercorns. Pepato Fresco’s tart, acidic curd is a cool foil for the piquant spice, tempering the bold flavours somewhat. Try a pat on top of grilled steak, hot pasta or tomatoes. yum!
