Today we are bringing you a very special "What We're Eating".  Here a DwellStudio we love to hear about entrpreneurial businesses - especially fantasy ones like making goat cheese...I was thrilled when I was contacted by Tasia Malakasis the owner of Belle Chevre (and reader of our blog). Tasia is living a dream of mine....after working in the corporate world for years she was shopping at Dean&Deluca and tasted an amazing goat cheese - when she looked at where it was from she realized that it was made 20 minutes from her childhood home in Alabama. She decided to pack her bags...move home, buy the business and start making world class goat cheese. Tasia was kind enough to send us some samples which were reviewed and devoured by everyone at DwellStudio.

A delicious sampling of Tasia's award winning cheese... Our resident food blogger and supreme foodie Sherry coordinated the tasting as only she can - with notes and quotes and serious consideration.

After receiving this lovely spread of Belle Chevre artisan goat cheese we had an office tasting. Each of the Alabama-produced varieties of cheese is incredibly creamy, mild and delicious and there were so many! Check them out below.

Everyone loved the marinated version with herbs and spices – this one had an amazing rosemary flavor.

The spreadable Belle & the Bees Breakfast Chevre with honey was also a big hit and is perfect for a bagel. Crissie says it was “super creamy and surprisingly sweet.”

The Greek Kiss grape leaved disc was fantastic, with a mild brininess.

The marinated version was also a a favorite, topped with chunks of sun-dried tomatoes.

Even Jake loves chevre!

Thank you Tasia and thank you everyone from Belle Chevre.  If you are living a dream job like Tasia let us know.  We would love to live vicariously!
