Exceptional cheese isn’t limited to one region—it’s a delicious journey that spans continents! This month, we’re celebrating a mix of homegrown Canadian cheeses and North American creations inspired by Italian tradition. And what makes these cheeses even better? A trio of fig spreads that take them to the next level.
A Soft Sheep’s Milk Surprise
Don’t let appearances fool you—those soft, creamy chubs may resemble goat cheese, but they offer an entirely different flavour experience. Made from sheep’s milk, these cheeses are luxuriously smooth and spreadable, with a naturally bright lemony tang. No added flavouring—just pure, simple deliciousness. Pair them with Dalmatia’s Fig Spreads in Fig, Orange & Fig, or Chili Fig for a match made in heaven.
Italian Inspiration, North American Roots
Since 1939, Sartori has been crafting cheeses with Italian soul in the heart of Wisconsin. Think of a cross between a sweet Asiago and a crumbly cheddar—that’s the magic of Sartori. Each cheese wheel is finished with a unique rind treatment like Merlot, Balsamic Vinegar, or Tomato & Basil, adding layers of bold and unexpected flavour.
Cheese Monger’s Pick of the Month: Stonetown Creamery
We couldn’t pick just one this month—so we didn’t! Our spotlight shines on three incredible cheeses from Ontario’s Stonetown Creamery. These Swiss-style, raw milk cheeses are crafted on-site using milk from the creamery’s own herd, just steps away from the production room. The result? Cheeses with unmatched freshness and flavour.
Whether you’re building a cheese board, trying something new, or just want a snack with serious flavour, these unique selections are a must-try this month.
