Oregon cheese company won Best Cheddar at the 2024 World Cheese Awards. Forty-seven countries participated. We’ve had their Maker’s Reserve, though not the 2014, and it’s very good.

Oregon-There’s a special little museum called Five Oaks on the PCC Rock Creek campus. The current exhibit is focused on white oaks. We went to a special event there and had acorn flour cookies. I learned that the local tribes leached the tannins out by putting them in baskets in streams for a week.
