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
