Phew! What a weekend! So crazy that it took me until now to unload all the going-ons onto this page!! It was a long and amazing weekend for Taste of Cheese at the Gourmet Wine and Food Expo. I spent a total of 32 hours over 4 days at the Metro Convention Centre asking everyone [...]

Hi there! It has been a few days since my last post here, and you must be thinking: what has Stacey been doing that is more important than writing on her blog? Well, I’ve been doing lots of different things, both related to cheese and not, but the most important time-consuming task has involved getting [...]
Culture: The Word on Cheese
Posted in The Word on Curd, tagged cheese, cheese magazine, cheese reading on November 9, 2009 |
A magazine all about cheese? Yup!! It’s called “Culture” and if you love cheese and you haven’t read it, you should! Now! (or soon). I subscribed to this Cheese Quarterly a while ago and then went on to pretty much forget about it, so it was a great surprise when the glossy turned up [...]

Another day, another cheese! It seems that the need for photographing the cheese in Taste of Cheese’s cheese boxes has become my best reason for giving new or forgotten cheeses a try! Another one of the November Cheeses is the Edel de Cleron, a widely accepted pasteurized version of the Vacherin du Haute-Daubs… While [...]

Even though this is old news, I thought you might want to know what cheese you shouldn’t buy and then walk around with… people might start to think it’s you! in 2004 the Vieux Boulogne was voted the world’s smelliest cheese by a robot nose and a bunch of people noses! It’s smellier [...]
The Prettiest Crackers EVER!

Back to my adventures in NYC! For as much as I love what the cheese (or food in general) tastes like, I also am a snobby graphic designer who judges things by their packages! I love cheese labels (I started to make art with them, I’ll show you once one of the posters is complete!) [...]
The Star Latches on to the Cheese Wars

At Taste of Cheese we sell a million kinds of cheese (ok, a slight exaggeration) but really, lots. And lots that are made with unpasteurized milk. I can safely say that I indulge in said danger-cheese all the time, and I’m still alive – aren’t I? In case you missed it, last week the Toronto [...]
