I was surprised by the number of restaurants, such as the Pentagöet Inn and Atlantica in northeastern Maine, that had local cheeses. I never knew how delicious the cheeses from Maine were until recently. I discovered four luscious creamy cheeses: Bleu Velvet, Golden Ridge Camembert, Seal Cove Chèvre, and Eleanor Buttercup. After savoring these cheeses, I was eager to find out more about cheeses from Maine. I visited the State of Maine Cheese Company in Rockport where I was given a map of all the cheese makers in New England.

Maine even has it’s very own cheese guild that strives to support the growing Maine cheese community. Cheese-making is becoming popular all over the United States. What kinds of interesting local cheeses have you tried?
