Cheese - Brin d'Amour - SCAR2017 Traditional Cache

I like cheese.

So, in recognition of the publication of The Oxford Companion to Cheese, I thought I would create a series of caches that pay homage to the fromage. The Companion only lists 244 of over 1400 known cheese styles but has over 850 total entries about all things cheese, from confocal microscopy to cheesemaker’s lung to Monty Python’s Cheese Shop skit.

The name Brin d'Amour translates in English to “bit of love” and this cheese is native to the Mediterranean island of Corsica.  It is a small artisanal herb-incrusted square or nest-shaped natural rind cheese.  It is typically made from raw sheep’s milk and coated with wild herbs from the rugged countryside of Corsica such bay, rosemary, savory and thyme. 

Enjoy the series as it grows and ripens but please do not leave any samples of your favorite cheese behind in a cache.

This cache is placed for SCAR X and should not be sought before 5:30 p.m. on May 26. 2017.
