The Quesarte artisan cheese fair is taking place this weekend and I was invited to the inauguration, which included a VIP tour of all 26 stands (!!!) to talk to the producers and taste their products. Obviously there were far too many to actually sample them all, but it was both educational and very tasty. This was followed by drinks and snacks upstairs but, you know, it was all I could do to manage a little jamón after all that.
There have been a lot of these amazing gastronomy & wine events lately, most of them taking place outdoors. I don’t think the organisers had counted on 25º and blazing sun in November though as awnings and umbrellas only offered partial protection, which is not great for either the products or consumers.

I’d still be a little too freaked out by gatherings of people to go even to an outdoors event, but I’m feeling genuine Cheese Envy. One sad effect of isolating and ordering all our groceries in is the absence of any chance to browse a cheese counter. First World problems, yep, but a new cheese experience is a good antidepressant in my book.
