The Maryland Sheep & Wool festival this year was again very good. We went on Saturday, and there were a zillion people there. It didn’t rain, and thus was very nice. We found out that the cheesemonger that used to show up (Menhennet) has been replaced by Everona. We go there at 1pm on Saturday, and they had already old out of most of what they had brought, so we didn’t get any of their blues.
Smokey Piedmont
We’ve had their Piedmont before, so this was our chance to check out their smoked version. It was very good. (10/27/2010 update: I bought some Smoked Piedmont again at the Crystal City Farmer’s Market but over til next season. Once again, we liked it – went will with some fresh pears; easy to eat in your hand.)
Shenandoah
A milder sheep milk cheese, which was also very good.
