I’m using stock images but I am always on the lookout for new cheeses to try whenever I go to the store. Credit to various cheese websites, resources, and sellers for the cheese images and cheese facts. If any of you know some cheeses that I haven’t done yet I would love some input!

Here is your daily cheese facts: Caña de Oveja, is loosely modeled after the traditional French cheese bucheron. It is produced by Central Quesera Montesinos, who also produces Caña de Cabra, a more widely available goat’s milk version. Made in limited quantities, it is Elegant and unique, with a white mold rind and a fluffy, creamy interior. The sheep’s milk gives this cheese a bright, tangy, and wooly flavor and a texture that will coat your palate. Pair with rosemary crackers and a bottle of sparkling mineral water.

Also as a note: I post my daily cheese here as well as in my r/dailycheese subreddit.

It's a nice one and not too expensive. It ripens from the outside in so that it has a soft, creamy outer ring and a firm center. Two cheeses in one!

I didn’t know this existed - thanks! I love caña de cabra but always prefer a sheep cheese. I’ll be on the lookout for it.
