I bought some quite softe pecorino in Ventimiglia, with pepper in it. My French neighbor suggested that it needed to be dried, so I have it on the counter for a week and it has dried considerably and is better that way, I think. What is curious is the source of what appears to be oil that has settled on the plate beneath it - perhaps from having been bathed in olive oil in the process of being made? And not coming out of the cheese itself?

Accueil - Leader Price

I am a loyal cusotmer, and the one improvement suggestion I would make for the two stores I use in Nice is to come up with a "car wash" for their shopping carts. I wonder what other stores do in the US and France to clean them at the end of each day, for example. I would think the plastic ones that seem to be everywhere could be run through some sort of a washing device efficiently that would leave them a lot cleaner, perhaps with a human inspection at the end.
