Products of the Snowdonia Cheese Company are sold in Stratford, Ontario, and I am a committed fan. The last ounce of a Black Bomber is waiting to be tomorrow’s lunch even as I type — and then I can go out and buy more!

Speaking of cheesy comestibles that go well with wine, Ontario producers are now selling aged Gouda that just sings on the tongue. I have to go to Ottawa in a couple of weeks, and while I’m there I shall buy the largest piece of Lankaaster I can find; it’s made by the Glengarry Cheese Company in Lancaster, Ontario, down on the St Lawrence River front, and it’s possibly the finest hard cheese I’ve tasted in the last ten years.
