Aw, Shucks ...
Our friend, Kathleen, at The Bloomy Rind in Nashville recently passed along some very kind words from one of their customers:

"Can a person actually die from eating one pear and one tiny sliver (OK, a wedge) of blue? On one Artisan Cracker? Unbroken? It was a close-run thing, lemme tell ya.

Do you have any more of that blue (Prodigal, I think)? If so, could I have a pound? Or, whatever you've got under that? Or a crumb, if some fell on the floor? Or ... if you are ordering some, I'm in. Or, maybe we could got wherever they make it and pick it up. They'd have it ready by the time we got there, eh? Thanks in advance for your gracious help in saving me from a life without this cheese, Jesse"

We are positively blushing and are enormousely pleased to meet folks who share our passion for cheese ... thank you Kathleen and Jesse!

Unlike in many Northern and Midwestern states, the trade of cheesemaking didn't take off in this region's warm climate until after refrigeration became popular.
