Cheesemaking Philosophy
“I moved here from Argentina, where I learned cheesemaking from my father. Today I make two artisan cheeses: my family recipe called Five Corners, and a pasteurized cow’s milk cheese that came from Welsh immigrants in Patagonia. People love the story of those immigrants, but not as much as they love the cheese.”
—Mariano Battro
