Womanchego & Senora
Episode description
Another episode, another breakdown of 2 artisanal cheeses. Like episode 3, they seem different on the surface, but Brittany soon learns just how similar they ae.
Before we dive into the Cato Corners Farm Womanchego + the Valley Shepherd Creamery Senora, Brittany discusses some devastating recent cheese news around the world. But, on a more positive note, it seems late August is the time for summer events and shares a plethora of cheese-focused events to check out across the USA + 1 in England! A little cheddar makes everything better.
As usual, Brittany walks us through her sensory evaluation of both cows milk cheeses, takes us on a deep dive behind both farms that produce these cheeses and shares not only how she would cut the cheese (😅) but also what to pair with them for your next charcuterie board.
