This weekend I had the pleasure of tasting various cheeses from Sapori d'Italia at the St. Matthew's Farmer's Market. To be truthful, I came to the farmer's market to try Kenny's cheeses. I discovered their website this week and have since been anticipating the cheeses that so many critics have praised. I sampled the cumin gouda as well as the plain gouda and was sorely let down. As a native from Oregon--the land of beautiful artisan cheeses--I have much experience in tasting various cheeses. I wracked my brain to try and figure out how Kenny's had won such acclaim, and why the women in line behind me were so excited to buy the cheese. I immediately returned to the Sapori d'Italia booth to purchase the only true artisan cheese I have found thus far in Kentucky. Not only was the 3-day chevre delectable, but all of the aged goat cheeses were bright and well-crafted. It is difficult to find good aged goat cheese and it is obvious that the cheese makers at Sapori d'Italia have brought tried and true methods of their trade. If you are considering an artisan cheese from Kentucky, choose Sapori d'Italia!

I bought a wedge of the dolce classica at the St. Matthews Farmers' Market in Louisville last Saturday. It was delicious in a fresh spinach quiche, but I'm looking forward to crumbling some on a fresh spring salad with some asparagus. The lentil salad also sounds great; roasted beets might be nice too.

I will be doing a very short segment on Ch 27, WKYT in Lex on April 29. If you would like for me to include a cheese with my Derby Foods from Ky. producers, please respond. I expect to have cows milk cheese a well as country ham and beaten biscuits, and spring vegetables.

Jason- We enjoyed meeting you at the Lexington Home and Garden Show. Thanks for the delicious Walnut Goat Cheese!

Gio, it was great to meet you at the Indianapolis Farmers Market and your cheeses are out of this world. Looking forward to your next visit to Indianapolis.

This Cheese is fabulous! Way to go. Thanks so much for bringing such a yummy cheese to Kentucky! Cheers.

Bravo- buying this cheese is much easier than going to Italy, and it's very good stuff!

Had just a sample at the Incredible Food Show but didn't get a chance to talk, there were so many people sampling! I'm very glad to know where I can purchase, the cheese was absolutely amazing!

Tried a new idea with delicious results. The aged walnut cheese is wonderful in combination with some harvest grape focaccia (Sciacciata all'uva). The recipe I used for the focaccia contained a little toased walnut oil, but it would be great without that too if you have a recipe you like. Happy harvest time!

The best of show in my book. Gio, you have an amazing gift, thanks for sharing it with us in Kentucky.

Che formaggio delizioso!!! Mi ricorda il sapore della mia bella Napoli. Sono contenta di avere trovato delle caciotte cosi saporite anche in America. Complimenti. I cannot wait to eat some more. Iolanda

I bought one of your cheeses at the Southland Drive Farmer's Market. It was amazing!!!!!! Can't wait to buy more! Sincerely, Suzie
