I’ve been itching to see this story go up today so I could post it here!! Yesterday the editor of Gourmet magazine (yep..this one is the biggie) asked permission to use the image below of a wonderful fella I photographed at the Portland Farmers Market earlier this spring.  This guy makes French cheeses in a traditional style and even  has a cheese making school and raises Great Pyreneese dogs for protection of herds and property.  The MONTEILLET FROMAGERIE

Well of course I said “please be my guest” to use the photo.  This fella was such a flirt and I loved his expression when I snapped this shot.  His helper was just chillin out behind the counter.  This is by far some of the best cheese I have ever eaten and need to go back this weekend to stock up again..now that you mention it..lol!
