Born in 2012\u2014when former social worker Tammy Miller visited the Great Canadian Cheese Festival\u2014Country Cheese Company<\/a> is the first specialty cheese shop in Ontario\u2019s Durham region. Imported and locally made, the store\u2019s 100-plus cheeses include at least two dozen exclusive to Country Cheese, flavored and aged in-house by affineur Perry Manti. 90 percent of the store\u2019s other products, such as chocolate, crackers, and salami, hail from area businesses\u2014an important distinction for both Miller and her customers.  <\/p>\n

\u201c(These days) people are more mindful about what they\u2019re eating, where their food comes from, and at what cost,\u201d Miller says. \u201cPeople want to support small producers that leave the smallest impact.\u201d  <\/p>\n

Small producers, like Country Cheese<\/a>, are also able to connect closely with customers. Miller notes that her staff knows more than half of their clients by name and have seen the families of returning patrons grow up. \u201cWe really want the store to be a place where people don’t feel intimidated,\u201d Miller says. \u201cWhether you\u2019re an expert in cheese or a complete layman, there\u2019s something in store for you.\u201d <\/p>\n

culture: Which local dairies do you recommend?<\/h3>\n

Tammy Miller:<\/strong> Glengarry Fine Cheese in Lancaster, Ontario, makes my favorite cheese\u2014it\u2019s the cheese that kind of romanced me into getting into the (cheese) business: Figaro. <\/p>\n

culture: What cheese, meat, and accompaniment would you bring to a deserted island?<\/h3>\n

Tammy Miller:<\/strong> An aged Gouda, probably Mountainoak 2-Year-Old or Lindenhoff, a three-year-old, raw-milk wedge from Holland. A big red wine and saucisson sec<\/i> from Seed to Sausage produced here in the Kingston area. <\/p>\n

culture: What\u2019s your store motto?<\/h3>\n

Tammy Miller:<\/strong> Cheese should be about pleasure, so we don\u2019t stick to hard-and-fast rules. We want to make sure the customer is having a pleasurable experience and enjoying their cheese\u2026so if you don\u2019t like the rind, cut it off! <\/p>\n
