One of my favourite places in the grocery store is the cheese section. Not the dairy section, where you can get store-brand cheddar and mozzarella, but the actual cheese section, where they stock all the other cheeses: brie, camembert, gouda, havarti, edam, fontina, roquefort, gorgonzola, feta. If you haven’t tried any of the above, then you haven’t tried enough cheeses. Take a look at some cheeses the next time you go grocery shopping and try something new. Most of the time all you need is a few crackers to pair it with.

In the photo above is Applewood, a soft smoked cheddar cheese. It’s super delicious on sandwiches and alone on crackers. This one is made with artificial smoke flavour but I actually prefer it to the real smoked cheddars that I’ve tried. It’s one of my favourites, and I love to introduce people to it whenever I can.
