Scroll down to see the various tasks that I attend to in order to insure quality cheese

There were three cheeses in the process of being made at this particular time

• Reblochon
• Leerdammer (alternatively referred to as Maasdam)
• Kasseri (a greek goat cheese)

Here is the Reblochon cheese

The third cheese is Kasseri

Kasseri is a Greek cheeses made from goat milk.
Kasseri is an outstanding table cheese.
It is creamy gold in color and resilient in texture.
It has a mild, buttery taste with a hint of olive flavor.
The creamy gold-colored kasseri has a natural rind and is usually sold in blocks.
It's delicious plain, grated over hot foods or used in cooking.
Kasseri is the cheese used in the famous Greek dish SAGANAKI,
Here is a picture of the Kasseri

Of Course the above is only part of the important things I have to do
There are many other tasks too numerous to mention
