My cheese friend Paola recently made a visit to Vermont and together we visited
Maplebrook Fine Cheese in Bennington.

The folk at Maplebrook were very generous and gave us plenty of cheese to take home. I thought I would share a photo that Paola sent me of how she served their Hand Dipped Ricotta. Here is what she said:

"Given all the ricotta I came back with from Maplebrook, I decided to do something different but fast and simple, also adding in some other ingredients purchased on the road.

Fresh ricotta on a bed of handmade granola (Lucy's brand from Maine - very good) and drops of maple syrup from New York and topped with more granola.

It is my dessert tonight as i am watching the Olympic games :)"

What a great idea.. Thanks Paola!
