Willamette Cheese Steward Cassie Stockton knows cheese. Also a wealth of wisdom when it comes to the many other accompaniments found at your Market cheese shop, such as oils, vinegars, salts, fruits spreads, honey, crackers, nuts, pâtés and dried fruits, Cassie offers practical advice and insight for both the novice and culinarily gifted.
Passionate and knowledgeable, Southwest Portland Cheese Steward Daniele Brose demystifies cheese in a way that encourages the cheese-timid to explore new pastures. Growing up in a foodie household with parents who fed her blue cheese and pâté at an early age, Daniele learned that eating is an adventure.
Moderation is a way of life for Cheese Merchandiser Ruth Taggart. She believes there’s a lot to be said for living modestly. That’s also the way she feels about cheese. “Keep it simple. Don’t be afraid to try new things – just enjoy it,” she says. A Cheese Steward for many years, Ruth offers a wealth of wisdom when it comes to cheese.
