Laura Downey has long been a lover of cheese. “My parents are both European. My dad was born in Greece and my mom was born in Spain. When I was a kid we lived in France and London, and real food and good cheese were always part of our table.”
When we think of specialty cheese, we think of its accompaniments—wine, beer, fruit, jam and perhaps a platter of charcuterie—but the cheese itself is generally always served fresh and in its original form, served pure and simple.
It’s like the world hit the refresh button. Everything is coming alive, babies are being born, daffodils and spring onions are peeping up through the soil that has been opened due to the freezing and thawing of winter months.
