OK at this point of our Circle Valley tour I was verging on irritable and was contemplating dipping into the bee pollen i had just purchased to satiate the overwhelming hunger. How can we be on a farm tour and be so hungry!?!? Let this be a lesson to you...bring food with you!!!
Anyway, the moment we stepped in the store I realized we reached the motherland...a large free tasting area with toothpicks abound and about 8 varieties of gouda to sample. Oh and free coffee and lemon cake!!!!!! Free cake!!! I was so freakin happy it was ridiculous. I almost didn't notice the woman playing the piano. Nice touch.
All in all, some yummy cheese. I didn't really care for all the flavoured stuff. I'm a bit of a puritan. But the aged and goat gouda were delicious. They also had a very smart snack pack option for 5$ which we bought and devoured.
Definitely a good spot to stock on goodies for the road. Oh and we also picked up some local pork sausages for dinner...i found the smokies were tasty but the Italian ones needed way more spicing. And both were really salty. Still ate 2 though. read more
