Cheeses Available for Wholesale This Week (20/02/21- 20/02/27) - Scroll to the bottom for descriptions and to order
Hey There Folks!
Hope you've had a good week. Thanks again for heading to this list for your weekly update (20/02/21- 20/02/27). First just want to thank everyone for their orders over the last couple of weeks, its been very encouraging with thoughts of spring and summer coming up. A big part of this push has been our new(ish) sales Rep Carl! Carl has been working for the company working markets for us for years and knows our products well (and is very nice) thanks again Carl! The Halloumi is starting to really take off, since i poach the curd at a lower temp and longer than before its really helped with the moister/mouth feel. The herbaceous one offs-ish are still available this week. Please read below for descriptions! Also one small note, Monforte is looking to deepen our roster with a variety of positions available from helping me on the floor as a cheese maker to pasteurization and packaging positions and will be holding a job fair at the Dairy on March 8th from 2-4pm, there will be plenty of cheese to eat and we'll be here for tours and questions etc. Thanks again everyone!
Cheers
-Steve (Lead Cheesemaker)
