Cheese, Gromit

Juliana's back from Wisconsin, and she brought me lots of cheese: cheddar with cranberries, jack with morels and leeks, 4-year aged cheddar, string cheese whips, frying cheese as well as Fennuusto, which is called Juustoleipa in Finland and is some sort of baked cheese product that is reheated and served with jam or maple syrup and dipped in coffee. She also brought me something in wax shaped and colored to look like a cow, which I haven't cut into yet, and chocolate cheese fudge, which I haven't dared try yet.

California has been marketing its cheese with the slogan “Great cheese comes from happy cows”, presumably because everyone, even cows, wants to live in California, and indeed some fantastic artisanal Old World-New World cheeses are made here. But fine as those cheese are, California can never even hope to be considered the Dairy State until they produce Juustoleipa.
