Carmelis Cheeses
Carmelis organic goat cheeses and wonderful breads: mmm...

Early last summer, I visited Carmelis Organic Goat Cheese Farm with Manny and Crystal from Arrowleaf Cellars for a farm tour and fantastic feast.

Besides amazing organic goat cheeses, we sampled lovely local wines, beautiful artisanal breads (from Okanagan Grocery), and wonderful seasonal food prepared before our eyes by a talented friendly chef in the picturesque hills - fun!

Carmelis Vault
Down in the cheese vault, we drank wine and were merry.

Carmelis Chantrelles
Fresh chantrelle mushrooms! Our friendly chef put them in a superb risotto.

Carmelis Feast
A beautiful, delicious, local, seasonal feast for the senses in the Okanagan Valley: cheeses, wines, breads, and food.

Carmelis Pesto
Fresh pesto with lemon zest and soft goat cheese on crisp bread: lovely.
