New Mexico Magazine has an absolutely wonderful article about the artisan cheese scene in New Mexico, featuring our friends at the New Mexico Cheese Guild.
"The guild is also taking a communal approach to helping revitalize New Mexico’s rich cheesemaking traditions. For example, some of New Mexico’s oldest known cheeses originated with Diné people. One such cheese was traditionally made with goat’s milk and possibly flavored with sweet fern, giving it a delicate, resinous flavor. Although these cheeses are not commercially available today, Native artisans still know the recipes. Guild members hope heritage varieties like these will reemerge as the local cheese community grows."
