Fine Canadian Cheeses sponsored by Dairy Farmers of Canada Comox Brie Natural Pastures Cheese Company Courtenay, British Columbia naturalpastures.com

Few cheeses can play a supporting role to other flavours as masterfully as this style of cheese. Bocconcini translates into "small mouthfuls" in English. It is mild and refreshing, with a smooth, resilient texture.
