The Cheese Coach

What’s a better way to celebrate Spring - a bouquet of flowers or a bouquet of cheese? 🤔🌷🧀

I can choose both with this Jacquin Buchette Aux Fleurs, a fresh goat cheese from the Loire Valley that is coated with dried flowers including rose petals, cornflowers, and marigolds.🌹💐

It has been almost a year since I decided to explore my passion for cheese beyond simply being a frequent buyer, and decided to apply for a job as a monger behind the counter of my local wine & cheese shop. I’ve been extremely fortunate to have had incredible opportunities to learn, appreciate, and most of all for me - feel like I’m part of a community of both local cheese lovers (shout out to my friends and !!) and my wonderful customers at the shop. I am grateful for all the chances I’ve had to further my knowledge of cheese, and am very proud to share that I’ve become a Cheese State Scholar, as awarded by Cheese State University from ! Thanks very much to all who have supported me throughout my journey!

I am so grateful to this community, and am feeling very good about where my passion will take me.
Stay cheesy, my friends. ❤️ & 🧀
