From the Cheese Portraits series.

This fun-shaped cheese is from Bonnie View Farm, in Northeast Vermont. I was intrigued by this half wheel of raw cow's milk curiosity because of it's great shape. I later learned the mold was non-traditional and unexpected and perhaps something I couldn't share publicly. Let's just say that the mold looks very similar to some plastic bowls found for $.88 at walmart.... Regardless, it's a mild and delicious experience and made by Neil Urie, who clearly embraces his Scottish heritage on the sheep dairy as a fourth generation farmer. Their website and cheese names are all very Scottish and worth checking out.
