Sad, bad

This cheese would be delicious if the makers weren’t denying their tenants heat in their buildings.

We appreciate your comment/suggestion however given that our products are all natural with no preservatives - salt serves as our only shelf life stabilizer.

It’s the trade off to making authentic, traditional cheeses that have been made this way for centuries. Nevertheless, we'll take your suggestion into consideration as we strive to meet the needs of all our customers. Thank you for reaching out, and we hope to continue serving you in the future.

Always, treated well.
Familiar tastes of the old country; exception, no mare at your front door with fresh cheese wrapped in leaves.
