From www.artisanalcheese.com:
The Old Chatham Shepherding Company’s Hudson Valley Camembert is a creamy, soft-ripened square made from the milk of Old Chatham’s herd of 100 East Fresian sheep combined with hormone-free cow’s milk from a neighbor’s farm.
The cheese snob says: Camembert is a delightful cheese in general, although somewhat generic these days thanks to mass production. Nonetheless, when I tried this cheese I was reminded that there is a difference between something that is well done, and something that is mass produced. B+
The casual cheese eater says: Not a big fan of camembert in general, but this was pretty good B.

The California state government, bowing to the pressures of the large agribusinesses that do most of the farming, have chosen to ban the sale of raw unpasteurized milk. Of course, an outright ban would have been too obvious, so instead they made the requirements to ship so onerous, that the small farmers that sold the milk will no longer be able to sell it.
This is an outrageous, unacceptable, overreach by a state legislature to kill a segment of the farming community to serve it’s political paymasters in the large agribusiness under the tattered fig leaf of concern for the health of Californians.

As if we don’t have more important matters to worry about.
