Canada has banned many unpasteurized cow and buffalo milk cheeses from Switzerland, France, Spain, Greece & Italy, due to a cattle-disease outbreak.
This affects the availability of favourites including Brie de Meaux, Morbier, Tomme de Savoie, Vacherin Mont d'Or, and Tête de Moine.
We'll bring back these cheeses the moment we can, but the restrictions are expected to last many months.
The organizers of the Canadian Cheese Awards have very high standards.
At the most recent ceremony they only allowed two producers to serve their fruit spreads alongside the winners of this prestigious competition. Top Shelf Preserves was one of those producers.
One taste and you'll see what all the fuss is about. Every one of these delectable spreads is carefully handmade in small batches with high-quality ingredients in Ottawa.
A fun twist on the ever popular red pepper jelly, very yummy with old white cheddars. Big fan.
