Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I was surprised by the number of restaurants, such as the Pentagöet Inn and Atlantica on the northeastern coast of 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?

Glad you got to try a little bit of the cheeses available up here. You should have let me know you were coming to Maine and I would have introduced you to many, many cheese makers. As well as getting you some of the best cheeses to try. There are tons of amazing cheeses available. I worked on an artisanal dairy farm a few years ago myself, although not in Maine. So I know some of the best.
I just had to comment though that you never got close to Northeast Maine. Not within hundreds of miles. It's a big state. Atlantica is in Camden, which is in the Mid-Coast area, and Pentagoet Inn is in Castine, on the Blue Hill peninsula, just at the start of the Down East area. Both in the southern 10% of the state.
